45. Spiritdancer- Middle Eastern Dance And Healing Information about Raqs Sharqi (belly dance). Article covers information on the different Middle Eastern dance styles, instruments, costuming, and props. http://www.spiritdancer.co.uk

Spiritdancer- Middle Eastern Dance and Healing Spiritdancer is a site created by Shamira (Carolyne) of Glastonbury to promote Raqs Sharqi, "Dance from the East" and healing. Menu Raqs Sharqi including Bellydance and North African dance. Instruments In Middle Eastern and Bellydance Music New Page added Nov 2002 Photographs and Performances Reiki Healing Creative Page Glastonbury ... Links Page Raqs Sharqi-Middle Eastern Dance What is Raqs Sharqi? Raqs Sharqi translates as "The Dance of The East", or "Oriental Dance", although only Egyptian dance is technically Raqs Sharqi.This dance is pre-Islamic and is an oral tradition which has changed over the centuries. Some people believe that it originated as a fertility or Goddess worshipping dance, and in North Africa it can still be used to help during childbirth. It combines a powerful grounded feel with the ability to express the subtleties of the music through strong technique. Improvisation is used a lot, and it is incredibly exciting to see the musicians and dancer sparking off eachother. My own discovery of Raqs Sharqi began in 1996 when I began going to classes held by Aliya. I was immediately smitten and remain addicted to this dance form. I am particularly inspired by the incredible dancing of Suraya Hilal, an Egyptian who now lives in the UK. She is freer as an artist here, and performs Sha'abi, Baladi and Sharqi across Europe. I love dancing and look forward to decades of shimmying!

Costuming the Emmas by Kali Pappas Being handsome, clever, and rich, it's plain that Jane Austen's Emma Woodhouse would have been well-dressed. But how well, we've all asked, has the film and television industry dressed the Emma adaptations? I'm going to attempt a novice costumer's study of the female wardrobes produced for the1996 film version starring Gwyneth Paltrow and costumed by Ruth Myers ( ) and the 1996/97 television adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale and costumed by Jenny Beavan ( ). A few brief notes on the 1972 serial, starring Dorin Godwin and costumed by Joan Ellacot ( ), will conclude the piece. The two recent versions of the story represent two different treatments of Regency-era clothing. The designers of each sought to "code" and reflect characters, moods, and situations through costume metaphor - this includes choice of fabric, colors, styles, accessories, and the like. However, while the television presentation, costumed by Jenny Beavan, sought to recreate the particular period during which the novel was written and published (1814-1816), Ruth Myers and the team chose an earlier and more generalised sort of look.

"You can trust him.....He's your new master." Helmet Hello! Welcome to The Meditation Chamber! I've set up this site to describe how I made my Vader costume. My suit has been a work in progress since 1978, and it is always undergoing modifications and upgrades. My costume, shown below, is made mostly from ordinary houshold items and hard ware store finds. Since I stand at a whopping 5'2", the Standard Don Post Studios mask works well with my proportions. I've scaled down all of the accessories to 75%. I'm literally a 3/4 scale version of my favorite Sith Lord! In 2000, I got involved in the internet and discovered how many other people enjoy creating their own Vader costumes. I've provided links to some of my favorite sites and forums. Good luck in your quest to build a Darth Vader costume. "Vaderkinde" Armor Chest box Cod Piece Belt boxes ...
