saturday 7pm Accidental circus
10 pm Panty Raid
sunday
7pm Accidental Circus
Accidental Circus: This Modern Medivalist Gypsy Cabaret has won over festivals from Vermont to New Orleans, with fire-eating, swordplay, theatrical bellydance, off-color comedy and live music, here with a scheduled guest appearance by the 'king of the lepers', world-record-holding contortionist. Family friendly but colorful! www.oocities.org/accidentalcircus
Panty Raid: Burlesque! Not to be outdone, they bring you the swankiest swish and swagger money can buy: dont miss a single moment of eye-popping vaudevillian exuberance. On the vanguard of the burlesque revival, this company has sold out show after show in theatres in Nashville and is coming to Asheville to share their arts. A burlesque bellydance workshop will be held the Sunday of the festival. A great choice for a wild eveing out but probably not with the kids. www.pantyraiddames.com
Trancing the Past/Present: A variety of Asheville artists will be sharing their modern expression of ancient arts, from black light renderings of ancient Maori womens poi rituals to wild techno Trance dances and music of North Africa. Many of these artists are innovators in Asheville's children's theatres, folkloric dance and music, fireshows and black light performances. Avant-garde sometimes means 'N' for 'nudity', so we rate this presentation a PG-13.
And then, just two weeks later, a community-based bellydance adventure----

Katuah Capoeira Angola - Brazilian Martial Arts at its Best! It is acrobatic, strategic, and exciting to watch as two players engage in a physical 'conversation' of action and reaction. The ubiquitous presence of song and traditional instrumentation during these games add another powerful dimension to the experience of Capoeira, both as a participant and as a spectator.
Baraka Mundi is an Asheville, North Carolina - based live music and bellydance troupe which is inspired and informed by the cultures of the Middle East, North Africa and beyond.
