Karim Nagi Workshops
Egyptian musician, drummer extraordinaire, finger cymbal master and folk dancer Karim Nagi will be visiting Canada’s national capital region for a full weekend of dance workshops and a big show.
Saturday November 19
1pm-5:00PM
DANCE WORKSHOP: CYMBALISMS and CHOREOGRAPHY:
Zills, Sagat, Finger Cymbals with movement. You are a dancer and a musician at the same time. You can accent the orchestra, follow the dynamics of the song, or simply choose the right moment to not play. Karim will teach ambidextrous technique, so the dancer can play, and move, in both left and right directions.
Karim then shows how to play cymbals with a melodic song, when to play a rhythm vs. accents, and when to stop or not play. Finally, he shows movement combinations, both stationary and traveling, while playing the cymbals, which will transform each dancer into a moving musician.
Sunday November 20
1 PM-5 PM
DANCE WORKSHOP: ARABIC RHYTHMS and DRUM SOLO FOR DANCERS:
It’s time to raise the bar for rhythmic literacy! A dancer’s immediate connection to the music is the rhythm produced by the Tabla and percussion. Afterwards the dancers will learn choreography segments to help gain bodily control with the sample rhythm, putting theory into practice. By physically personifying each rhythm, bodily mastery of that rhythm will be achieved.
Everyone adores a solo where the rhythmic drums and the accurate body lock together. Drum solos are systematic and have predictable themes; each is like a variation on a famous story, retold with new voices and with different accents. After this class transforms you, a deaf man will be able to hear the drums by watching your body. This class uses exclusively LIVE drumming, and teaches the dancer how understand and communicate with the drummer, what to expect, and how to be ready for improvisation.
$350 full weekend of dance workshops (or $200 for one day)
