Sunday May 8 Leila, Yasmin &
You - Giza Club Discussion and Potluck Party
7-10 pm
A discussion on the dance in Egypt
under the old regime - how the censorship of the arts in general lead
to the decline in Raks Sharqi (people blame Egyptians for that, but the
government had a lot to do with it). What hopes there are for the future
of the dance in a more open society. Have foreigners carried the dance
torch during these oppressive years or have they manipulated the dance
to be more Western? Can Egyptians reclaim the dance on their own terms?
