When: Friday, May 24, 2013
Time: 7-9:30 p.m.

Into the Dark Forest & Dance of Liberation
“Prayerformance”
by Nicole Rosaria Manieri and Marybeth Francesca Wolf
Friday, May 24, 2013
7-9:30 p.m.
First Presbyterian Church, 314 Xenia Ave., Yellow Springs

This evening we will be bringing together Nicole Rosaria Manieri’s Into the Dark Forest with Marybeth Francesca Wolf’s Dance of Liberation.

Into the Dark Forest is a one woman “prayerformance” in which Nicole shares her personal journey of re-weaving her inner chords of wholeness. Her sharing is in the form of original songs and theatrical verse that she began creating in 13 years ago. It weaves together her real experiences, her dreamscape and imagination. It is an offering of deep heart to all who are on their healing journey… to reclaim their wholeness and embodied wisdom. It is ultimately a call for us to restore the WILD in our inner and outer landscapes!

Dance of Liberation, performed by beautiful local women, was choreographed by Marybeth WOlf and comes from the Southern Italian ancient rhythmic healing traditions, known today as Tarantella . It has been used in Italy and the Mediterranean for centuries to cure people (especially women), who suffered a form of mental depression known as tarantismo, attributed to the mythical bite of the tarantula. “Tarantismo” may be defined as depression and hysteria resulting from abuse and societal oppression. When a woman was identified as being bitten, they would call in the musicians to play for her until the woman was healed through this entrancing rhythm.

Nicole has been invited to apprentice this summer with the only woman in the world who teaches these healing rhythms today. This evening is in part intended to help her raise money to go on this pilgrimage to Italy to learn and bring back the healing rhythms of her ancestors.

Screening of Finding Kind, a documentary about girls and bullying

When: Friday, May 24, 2013
Time: 7-10 p.m.
Where: John Bryan Community Center, 100 Dayton Street

Friday, May 24, 2013
7-10 p.m.
John Bryan Center Gym

A screening of the documentary Finding Kind. Hosted by Simply Women and Girl Scout troop 30349 and other generous supporters. A strong film that describes the way that girls of all ages bully each other and the story of two girls who set out to change the way girls treat each other.

Girl Scout troop 30349 is earning their bronze award – they have voted to use their cookie money profits to pay for the film… which at $500 is not spare change. The troop has worked on the bullying problem for several years and this is such a wonderful gift they are sharing with the community. Please note that the movie is not appropriate for kids under 10 due to language and sexual references. These come up in the movie as girls are sharing their bullying stories.

Sara is a Certified Sister Studio of FatChanceBellyDance

American Tribal Style® Bellydance is inspired by the folkloric dances of the Middle East and India. It was created by Carolena Nericcio in San Francisco, CA. Carolena and her troupe FatChanceBellyDance® have brought this style to dancers all over the world.

What makes ATS® unique to the bellydance world is that it is a group improvisational stye. A lead dancer uses a system of body cues to let the following dancers know what move is next. This language allows dancers from all over the world to come together and dance together on the spot as if it were choreography. This creates an incredible non-verbal communication between dancers and strengthens us, not only physically but mentally and as a community.

NOTABLY, every penny I take in in tips will be passed on to my dear friends Dakota Wright and Bear Wright to fund their summer camp endeavors.
