<br/>Menagerie of Twelve
<br/>
<br/>Sat, June 14th, 2008
<br/>at Studio A Dance
<br/>2306 Hyperion Avenue
<br/>Los Angeles, CA 90027
<br/>
<br/>Malice Dreaming Productions is proud to bring you a theatrical dance retelling of the classic Grimm fairy tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>As the clock strikes each hour, witness each ensorcelled princess be forced to dance her own story for her malevolent captor and collector. Night after night, each princess, bound by magic, returns to repeat her performance.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>This is no willful excursion of 12 girls to a secret ball. There is no forest of gold and silver-leafed trees. No boats will carry them across a lake to a gilded castle. No princes will accompany them, dancing the night away.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>But perhaps there is still one who can set them free.....

<br/>Date TBA, but very soon!
<br/>
<br/>We are doing a pro-bono, one-night performance at the Zipper Theater in Manhattan this April with the opportunity of a future run with deferred pay.
<br/>
<br/>We are looking for one male or androgynous female performer (our Ringmaster) and several female dancers to play the various characters in our production of "Musee des Femmes: Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque". Some of the characters include MataHari, Kali, Saint Joan, and BabaYaga. "Musee" is a dark, yet magical and beautiful retelling of popular female archetypes.
<br/>
<br/>Qualifications:
<br/>Women must have a strong dance background (Middle Eastern not required, but the ability to learn quickly), and strong acting ability. If you have any other talents, such as singing, playing an instrument, contortionist, etc we would love to utilize this within the show as well.
<br/>
<br/>The Ringmaster is not required to be a dancer, but strong acting and improv skills is a must. Preferably looks no younger than 35. Any additional talents such as playing any instruments, fire performance, magic, etc is most welcome. The Ringmaster is dark, mysterious, glamorous, domineering, both over the top and subtle, a collector/fetishist of damaged women...be creative as there is room for interpretation.
<br/>
<br/>Please prepare:
<br/>Women Characters - One 3 minute piece that displays your dancing and acting ability. An additional 3 minutes will be allotted to display any additional skills.
<br/>
<br/>The Ringmaster - One 3 minute piece (monologue or movement) that displays a wide-range of emotions. An additional 3 minutes will be allotted to display any additional skills.
<br/>
<br/>Location and time TBA.
<br/>More information coming!</div>

<br/>
<br/>Just putting the word out that I will be joining the lovely Cassandra in New York at the end of this year for an undetermined amount of time (we may also be touring Europe next year). We are working with a theatre on bringing one of our productions to the east coast. Have no fear, Desert Sin will continue to be active on the West Coast as well.
<br/>
<br/>I look forward to meeting so many of the beautiful dancers I've seen at various conventions around the nation in their hometown.
<br/>
<br/>More to come...

</div>Aepril2007-07-03T12:48:29ZAriellah Imposter!!!thegoldenembryohttp://DesertSin.tribe.net/thread/121b3be3-ab29-44dd-a65c-2b0aef1c13f42007-05-19T20:02:11Z2007-03-07T06:26:21Z<div>I just received an instant message on my AIM account from a user named DarkerStillBelly posing as Ariellah. I'm a student of Ariellah's and Ariellah has my email address and web information so I thought it was pretty probable that it was her. However, I called Ariellah later because I was skeptical about the validity of the screen name due to the strange conversation this user was attempting to initiate. DarkerStillBelly is not Ariellah...just some random sicko trying to mess around with people.
<br/>
<br/>Just a quick FYI everyone. Keep your eyes peeled for the imposters trying to pose as our beloveds.

<br/>
<br/>www.kosmoscamp.com
<br/>
<br/>Featuring instructors Jill Parker, Liz Strong, Mira Betz, and Amy Sigil
<br/>
<br/>The warm summer days at Kosmos Camp are filled with music and dance workshops. Dancers learn and perform on finished dance floors, with wall mirrors in the main lodge. Musicians enjoy instruction and practice opportunities in our open-air venues. Both dancers and musicians study with world-renowned professional teachers in a wide variety of styles from different cultures.
<br/>And all campers enjoy the luxuries of Saratoga Springs Resort, nestled just over 2 hours north of both San Francisco and Sacramento in 260 private acres of forest. Miles of hiking trails with breathtaking views of nearby Clearlake and access to natural mineral springs, surround a pair of lodges with both indoor sleeping accommodations and clean camp grounds, complete with a spacious pool and large jacuzzi. All meals are provided by our professional chef and feature a gourmet menu with an eclectic array of world cuisines and a full bar serving reasonably priced mixed drinks, beer, and wine after dinner. Evenings feature concerts and dance performances by students and staff in the immaculate Heart Lodge, and open-floor dancing with late-night jamming afterwards.
<br/>
<br/>Ultimately, Kosmos is both a school of music and dance, as well as an unforgettable celebration among friends. It is a special getaway where people bond their passions and talents. We hope you join us and help create a unique community that we all can cherish in the years to come.</div>

<br/>
<br/>As a courtesy - as the previous advertisement is no longer accurate - this post is to notify that I will not after all be able to attend the Vegas or LA X-Med as an instructor. My schedule may end up permitting me to pop in as a performer during the eve show, but this has not been confirmed. I will keep you posted!
<br/>
<br/>My apologies if this disappoints anyone! The most magnificent Djahari will still be there to represent Desert Sin as well as the rest of the wonderful scheduled instructors.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Thanks for your understanding,
<br/>
<br/>Elayssa</div>

I look forward to presenting it to the masses again in it's new form after Elayssa and I have had time to play with some of our other "workshop" projects. Patience, focus, and dedication are good when you can fit it into your schedule.
<br/>
<br/>We have all had such a busy year. I know I've been working solid on DS projects since October of last year (the business end as well as the artisitic). It is wonderful to see so many experimental dance shows coming together. We are proud to be apart of so many wonderful projects. Cheers y'all!</div>

</div>lilseabiscut2006-07-14T21:49:30ZElayssa of Desert Sin needs a room mate!!! Spread the word!elayssahttp://DesertSin.tribe.net/thread/954c8b3a-525d-4f4c-bc77-f5929ca623122006-07-12T00:58:10Z2006-07-09T02:38:15Z<div>Located in Canoga Park, CA.
<br/>
<br/>One of my roomies moved out - so now it's me and Tatianna of desert sin (also a bellydancer, yay! ) and we need a third person (belly dancer or not) to complete the ol' power of three. I'm thinking as soon as Aug 15th.... perhaps later... I'm looking for the right person, and thought I should put the word out there to be fair. So if you or someone you know is interested, get back to me - yo.
<br/>
<br/>You are:
<br/>
<br/>Clean (there aren't usually any dishes in the sink)
<br/>
<br/>Good natured
<br/>
<br/>Responsible & fun
<br/>
<br/>Either artistic yourself, or a lover of the arts.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Happy with rehearsals/classes happening downstairs ALL THE TIME
<br/>
<br/>Don't mind that every once in awhile we turn the living room into a sweat shop where we create amazing costumes. See: www.desertsin.com
<br/>
<br/>Really dig the smell of incense
<br/>
<br/>DO NOT smoke cigg. and if you do smoke anything else... very minimally and not when I'm home (it's true, I'm actually allergic) We aren't into drugs here.
<br/>
<br/>Fond of Middle Eastern music and don't believe in playing loud music of any kind in the morning...
<br/>
<br/>Someone who will love our good natured dog Gypsy and our odd cat. (but ideally you don't have any pets of your own
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Other notes:
<br/>
<br/>The room is small... with plenty of light and a mirrored closet. You'd be sharing a bathroom with me. ( It's squeeky clean on normal days and explodes into a mess if I have show, but gets cleaned right up in the next day or so)
<br/>
<br/>High ceilings in bedrooms.
<br/>
<br/>We have a washer and dryer in the garage. Street parking (but there always is some, jeez we're in the valley!)
<br/>
<br/>Hard wood floors.
<br/>
<br/>Dishwasher
<br/>
<br/>Huge fridge
<br/>
<br/>Working central air conditioning
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Information on your rent contribution given by request only.

<br/>Thanks -

<br/>
<br/>So-weeeeird. I've done what I can... but how bizarre!
<br/>Maybe it will be gone by the time you look at it, but here it is if you're curious:

<br/>
<br/>At least she called herself "christina" and not elayssa
<br/>
<br/>So uh - I feel pretty weird about this, and if you ever noticed a posting from her before... please don't confuse her with the real deal...

<br/>
<br/>There is now a traditional dance pre-show to our presentation of "Sita's Fire" with all of our wonderful dancers participating. Look for the Vasquez Flamenco Dance Company, Pars National Ballet, YaHelewa!, Amara, Tatianna, and Katherine and Akasha bringing a little ATS to the table.
<br/>
<br/>Also, I wanted to let everyone know how honored and proud I am to be working with you again. I am also thrilled to be working with the Mystery Bird Puppet Show Company again. This show is so much fun (and so dark...how do we do it!) and you are all making it a wonderful experience for me. Fire never felt so good!
<br/>
<br/>And, of course, the show info for those who can make it:
<br/>

<br/>
<br/>We are in pre-production for a new show called "Sita's Fire - The Pathos Within" as well as preparing for XMED Workshops, Spirit of the Tribes in Florida, LOJ IX, EEMED, and other events out of state later in the year.
<br/>
<br/>"Sita's Fire" came into fruition because of a few characters that Elayssa and I had been thinking about for quite some time but could not fit into "Musee". Well, how about doing a smaller show of vignettes? We are purposefully paring this show down in order to create an intimate experience with the audience that is not padded by too many effects or a giant stage. We want you to FEEL these characters. It is also a great chance for us to workshop some new ideas and hopefully include them in our plans for another big production later. At the same time, this is US doing a show, so expect beauty, violence, absurdity, puppets, and more!
<br/>Without further ado, here's the spiel:
<br/>
<br/>There comes a time when every woman must face her demons...

<br/>
<br/>He along with Fritz Heede & Micheal Beach (with whom I can find all
<br/>over the place) are my three sources for the Best BELLY Dance music
<br/>I could or would ever want to hear. That's what I used to use/play
<br/>all of the time before I once again (after leaving it for a minute)
<br/>am 'back into the Dance'.
<br/>
<br/>This time as many of you know..I have a vested interest beyond the
<br/>strictly social & entertainment benefits. Namely my newly started
<br/>Foundation. And to learn more about it (and me) please go to:
<br/>http://www.myspace.com/linny_g ..plus if you have ANY information on
<br/>where
<br/>I can find music produced by PHIL THORNTON, then 'e' me
<br/>here..thanks!
<br/>
<br/>I might as well tick Tribe off by naming just about all of my other
<br/>Group sources (and did I tell you about yahoo.. http://bellydance.meetup.com/11/memb
<br/>er/2226428/ and Bhuz.com :-)?),
<br/>~Linny~

<br/>
<br/>A lot of people have been asking us "what's going on?", so I thought I would put up a short post just to let you know that we have not disappeared and in fact, are working hard on upcoming projects.
<br/>
<br/>Not only have we been traveling around the country making future arrangements, but we have also been working hard on an outline for a new full-length production that we hope to put up here in Los Angeles next year. We have several other projects in the works right now, as well, but all will reveal itself in good time.
<br/>
<br/>So, we are working...there are shows coming. Some small and some not so small. There are dreams in the air soon to solidify and take shape for everyone's enjoyment.
<br/>
<br/>Be warned and take heed.
<br/>

We gave out tickets to 4 friends and they had a blast. Said it was an amazing show and we would have loved it, so we bought 4 more tickets and took another couple with us last night. HOLY SHIT!!!!! We go to a lot of random shows based on word of mouth, or in this case, that powerful image on your post card. As soon as the ringmaster came down the isle we felt like we were back home in burning man (even looked like he had some playa dust on his hat). My girl has a full back tattoo of KALI, so we couldn't wait to see her. We were perfectly centered for her dance and were completely blown away! So sensual, so powerful and then when she went to set things right....look out! I leaned over to her afterwards and said, "How do you open with THAT?" I love to be proven wrong and I sure was. The show maintained that level of brilliance all through out... I could go on and on about every woman who danced (and man), but I've got other things to do today. To honor how profound it was would definitely take all day. So, I just want to thank you all for sharing such an amazing dance piece. We plan on coming one more time and bringing another couple too!
<br/>Also, it was the last straw to inspire my girl to take a belly-dancing class. Any suggestions as too where? We live in LA.
<br/>Gratefully yours,
<br/>Jeff Parise
<br/>p.s. so good to see you here on tribe.... </div>

<br/>How long is the show? I'm pondering if we should squeeze in food before or after....with a long weekend ahead of us (and I'm performing the next afternoon), I don't want to go through it ass-tired :P</div>

In fact it may be a good bet to try to come this weekend if you can. I remember last year, all of us being in the dressing rooms getting calls on our cell phones from our friends who were standing on the curb outside the theatre, unable to get a ticket. Lot's of tears, and pulling of hair, and renting of garments. Come early, come often.

I really enjoyed all the performances and I hope you enjoy my shots.

<br/>Saturday Night: http://bdiddy.smugmug.com/gallery/449428
<br/>
<br/>Now for the small print...
<br/>
<br/>My policy toward sharing photos is pretty straightforward. In appreciation for the performers sharing their considerable talent with me, I'm happy to share my photos. I'm sorry for the annoying copyright notice on these gallery pictures, unfortunately this has proven a neccessity to protect the performers' image from piracy (based on past experience). But I am happy to provide the performer a web-friendly image file without the annoying notice, provided they agree to include a photo credit with link back to my site (TabooMedia.com) alongside the image. (I'm even happy to provide the simple code to insert on the page, if the performer is without webmastering.) Just provide the preferred dimensions (in pixels) or tell me where it will be posted (and I'll calculate the best size).
<br/>
<br/>If you are interested in ordering prints (the original files are 8+ megapixels and enlarge to sizes as big as 11x17-inches very nicely), feel free to contact me at Brad@TabooMedia.com . Sorry, I can only offer prints to the performers pictured, or with the performers' expressed consent.
<br/>
<br/>And if you like my work (more samples online at www.taboomedia.com/ ), consider me for future photo/web/cards work you may have. I love working with artists (my clients include Ultra Gypsy, Urban Tribal, Solimeno) and I can make the numbers work for any budget. </div>

<br/>
<br/>We have been working so hard this year on "Musee", "Rakkasah", "Undulation", the upcoming "LOJ" and "EEMED" and it really pays off when we hear all this great feedback. There is so much going on with producing, directing, writing, etc that it's hard to keep up with what we've done sometimes. Glad to hear it all works out.
<br/>
<br/>We are proud to have many amazing dancers so commited to what we are doing and look forward to our growth as artists and bringing you shiny and new productions in the years to come.
<br/>
<br/>A deep and sincere thank you,
<br/>

What a treat to you both at Rakkasah AND undulation! It was so wonderful to see a group really use the music and be able to throw all that emotion and soul right at the audience, as well as being super tight dancers.
<br/>
<br/>Keep up the good work!</div>

<br/>One at Rakkasah at 9pm and later that same night at Ultra Gypsy's Undulation Event. It's been a whirl-wind trying to prep for this weekend in the middle of pre-production for "Musee" but we're excited and ready to have fun!
<br/>
<br/>Hope to see some of you up there!</div>
