A’ Nour NEW RELEASE
DVD The new work of Alessandro Bascioni
A’nour, the Arab word for “Light” epitomizes the cycle of opposing forces of shadow and light. This powerful piece, takes a bold choreographic direction into the Sha’abi world of the Sufi devotional dance and animistic trance rituals. In an evocative atmosphere of chants and incense, the dancers step and sway, driven with the roaring sounds of the drums. Displaying an array of intense frenzied yet, cantered movement, the piece culminates into dramatic release and reconnection to the Divine.
Alessandro Bascioni is accompanied by four outstanding dancers, the renowned percussionist Ibrahim el Minyawi and two excellent drummers. They come together in a high impact performance, illuminating the raw core of the dance and embracing the soul’s journey from the dark to the light, showing an underlying sense of power through unity and an energetic balance of both control and surrender.

Oscillations NEW RELEASE
Hilal Dance Company
Suraya Hilal’s new piece boldly explores the true meaning of Oscillations; the swing of the pendulum, the journey and the search for the point of balance (el Mizan) in ones body and mind. Through the sublime language of Hilal Dance, her work infuses the traditional with the ideal, heritage moulded to modernity, the classical reinterpreted through originality.
Suraya Hilal is inspired by Joseph Tawadros’ evocative improvisations on the oud. The dancers undertake a journey which embraces the notion that the search for balance is also a search for freedom from within.

Spirit of the Heart DVD
Suraya Hilal with Ruh el Fuad and the Baladi Ensemble 1997
Suraya Hilal’s group of artist
here form a powerful core for her work in "Spirit of
the Heart". The piece came together in a
formidable union of voice, music, movements, colour, line,
geometry. Unity was the key in all these elements. Hilal
found new ways of moving the known traditional into unknown
and
unexplored territories. At the same time, her work is a celebration
of the Baladi form, where she is joined by the great Baladi
singer, Ruh el Fuad and an excellent group of musicians.
Ancient
and modern, urban and rural, Islamic-Sufi, Pharaonic and
universal; all interweave within the complex yet simple
art of Baladi.
