6.11.04 Dances of Ecstacy World Premier Party @ El Rey Theater The film documents various forms of ecstatic dance communities around our little planet. The music is top-notch, and the visuals are just as good. Live musicians of the Afro Cuban percussion ensemble Emikeke led by master drummer Felipe Garcia Villamil, and DJs Janaka (Dhamaal, SF), Patrick Harvard (SCDC) , and Jason Bentley (KCRW) to complete the night with luscious grooves from Arabia, Africa, and India. Event info: nectarine.com.au/othersites/dances/flyer_losangeles.htm dancesofecstasy.com “Dances of Ecstasy is a sensory journey into the mesmerizing world of trance and ecstasy that binds dancers from Manhattan to Morocco. The filmmakers traveled to traditional and modern day rituals around the world to discover the altered-state experience people seek through dance. In these rituals, Whirling Dervishes from Turkey, Orisha Priestesses from Nigeria and Brazil, shaman healers from the Kalahari and dancers in a Gabrielle Roth workshop in New York, pulse to the same beat as thousands of young people at an all-night techno dance party in an Australian forest. The one-hour documentary explores the many levels of trance and discovers what links them together is the human need to connect with a spiritual dimension, a living part of many traditional cultures which modern culture seeks to recapture. It celebrates the universal human experience where rhythm and dance unite us. Dances of Ecstasy is a visual and aural feast for the senses, an innovative documentary blending exciting dance rituals, evocative imagery, interviews and a spellbinding global music soundtrack featuring original music recorded on location in Africa, Morocco, Korea, Turkey and Brazil mixed with electronica and percussion. The film is an inspiration to dance, and to reconnect with a sense of the sacred that many have lost touch with in modern life.” |
