how EEMED changed my life

topic posted Sun, October 7, 2007 - 10:56 AM by  Sina
long long ago, in a land far away....(okay not so long ago, and it was in a land known as north hollywood....), i sat as a fresh faced new-to-bellydance dancer in a dark room, waiting for the first EEMED show i was to see to begin.
after the show was over, i sat in the audience, in a comatose-with-pleasure absorbing state. i knew at that point that Amara had changed how i viewed dance forever.
she inspired me, to explore avenues i never knew existed, to take bellydance out of its familiar element, and blend it with theatre.
and so i have, and this year marks the 3rd annual post-halloween dance show that i produce: Dance Macabre III
