ZEINA CHOREOGRAPHY
(by Jill Parker to Petrol Bomb Samosa)
This sweet little choreography is a modern take on an Egyptian classic, remixed to create a fierce tapestry of old and new. This piece is chocked full of Jill Parker's signature stylized folkloric belly dance moves and some modern stylization classics!

SHIMMY THERAPY - READY AIM FIRE!
The Jill Parker Method: Earthy, fluid, juicy, percussive and loose shimmies are a trademark of Belly Dance, especially Tribal Fusion Belly Dance. We are going to drill varieties of loose shimmies until your body doesn't have any choice but to understand what we're after! Think Mechanics. Think loose and gooey. Think in the pocket, sure fire timing. Think heavy, low and loose pelvis. Jill will give you tools and drills for wiggling more excellence into your shimmy.

DRILLING & BEYOND!
A gratifying focus on drilling and beyond into many concepts important for the improvisational performer: building confidence, developing musical awareness, thinking clearly and creatively on the spot, strategies for refining improvisation and taking your dancing to the next level.

EMBODIMENT
Correcting weak performance habits by infusing intention and feeling into the standard presentation style we take for granted as professional dancers. In this workshop we will experiment with changing our habits and scrambling things up -to see what's on the other side. We aim to eliminate unintentional movements, lack of facial expression, being glued to one spot of the floor, etc. Through facilitated exercises Jill will take you on a journey of exploration designed to bring your dancing and stage presentation to a much more intentional and embodied place!


WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19

THE "HOW-TO"
Building your own combos and layering those into improvisation. Layering to better express musical concepts, and other exercises facilitated for radical improvisational exploration!
