Our "Scheherazade" Dance Show
Donation protected
On May 6 & 7 , I danced in Scheherezade and the 1001 Spanish-Arabian Nights with Pedro Aurelio, Bolero Dance Theatre, and Amar Egyptian Dance .
This fusion show combined Egyptian, Spanish, flamenco, ballet, and interpretive dances.
Pedro and I are passionately dedicated to honouring the heart & soul of our genres, as we push boundaries to create new and exciting expressions with meaningful stories. As community dance groups developing local amateur talent, we are dedicated to bettering local dance theatre through beautiful, well-crafted shows.
We're celebrating 20th anniversaries--20 years for Bolero and 20 for me in the world of bellydance as Nicola .
This is a true dream project for Pedro and I. We've previously created Cleopatra, which played in 2012 and again in 2013 at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival.
We are not eligible for what little arts funding exists for our big expenses such as studio rentals, costuming, musicians, and props. We have used personal incomes.
We're very skilled at working with a tight budget, but this year's was tighter than ever! Though the show already played, we still need patrons-at-large to support our hard-working groups and the production effort.
None of the dance cast is taking a pay cheque from this production, the directors included. We do this because we love to dance and want to share our passion.
Funds are for:
-costuming our cast of 20 dancers -- pants, skirts, hip scarves, jewellery, fans, wings, head dresses, etc.
-honoraria to our sewing help
-prop purchase & creation
-sets & technical features--including light, smoke effects
-ideally, honoraria for the cast.
Funds still needed urgently.
Support will mean I can off-set personal debt in completing this production. We staged a sparkling, sumptuous show experience for our local fans. The reviews were good and we'd like to stage it again.
There are truly no words to describe how grateful we will be to get this support.
Reward levels are in place, however, you can donate what you choose. Every $5 helps!
