Lava
Vancouver performer Lava (Lana O'Keefe), director/choreographer
of "Sisters of Alchemy" has been studying, performing and teaching bellydance since 1999. Her biggest influence
in bellydance is Carolena Nericcio (Fat Chance Belly Dance), with whom she studies as often as she can with dedicated practice.
In 2005, Lava founded "Sisters of Alchemy" - her tribal fusion troupe. With a diverse background in theatre, music,
yoga, film and television studies, and many dance forms (ballet, jazz, tap, modern, hip hop, Can Can, middle eastern dance,
tribal style and tribal fusion, Bharata Natyam, Odissi...), Lava has developed (SOA)'s style into its 'rockin-lockin'
& 'smooth-groove'. She is currently producing new works, for Sisters of Alchemy, for a full length piece "Dark
Arts & Parlour Tricks", and will be an instructor at ‘Tribal Fest 8‘, this spring in Sebastopol Ca..

Layering and Floorwork
Intended to build from Moria's Fundamentals Workshop, this workshop
puts together the various drills and traveling patterns previously learned to build control and stamina in layering. Drills
teach how to maintain deliciously crisp isolations while layering 2, 3, or 4 different components of fundamental moves. Prior
isolation training is helpful but all levels are welcome. Some of the more advanced components of this workshop include turns,
traveling, and layering movements to culminate in new advanced combinations that we will work together into a tribal fusion
choreography.
Hour 1: Lower body emphasis - sharp and staccato articulation emphasizing movement and rhythm. We will
drill twists and pelvic locks working to develop the muscles in the lower abs and pelvic area to create crisp, strong hip
articulation. Movement across the floor and around the room and drills to increase flexibility and range of motion in the
hip while maintaining strong posture and arms.
Hour 2: Upper body emphasis - round and smooth articulation emphasizing
shapes and fluidity with upper body extension and articulation. Drills to sharpen and intensify chest ticks and locak while
maintaining perfect arm and shoulder placement. Arms, undulations and laybacks will also be drilled as well as creating unusual
shapes with the body.
Hour 3: Floorwork and flexibility will be taught and woven into the previous components of hip
articulation and upper body strength.
Hour 4: Exquisitely slow and intense combinations culminate in a serpentine slow
choreography incorporating level changes, floor patterns, and deep movement.
Wear comfortable, stretchy clothes.
Water, a yoga mat, and a notebook are suggested but not required. Knee pads are highly suggested.
Moria
Chapell
Moria's enigmatic stage presence is born from a history of training in San Francisco bellydance
technique that combines the Salimpour method, stylization from the Indigo, and Fat Chance posturing. Remembering her mother's
early practice of bellydance, her father's study of yoga, and from what later became a background of classical dance and
theatre in her youth, Moria was moved to exclusively study bellydance after graduating Magne Cum Laude from the University
of California, Irvine. Inspired by the spirit of bellydance as it allows for the organic and gypsy nature of life to move
serpentine through space, her personal fusion of circus art, theatre make-up, and rich costuming brings grace and elegance
to tribal bellydance that evokes the majestic. She has performed music and dance in collaboration with Suhaila and Jamilla
Salimpour via Bal Anat and the Suhaila Dance Company; with Ziah Ali via Awalim; and currently with Rachel Brice and Sharon
Kihara via the Bellydance Superstars. Moria performs and teaches internationally and is well loved within the bellydance community
and beyond.
