Circle & Cycles

The Goddess Dancing's 2005 Year End Showcase

On June 25th, 2005, at the Green Street Studios in Cambridge, MA, The Goddess Dancing presented it's 12th Year End Showcase titled "Circles & Cycles".  The theme of the show was the sacred and powerful shape of the Circle:  whole, contained, cellular.  And about the stages we encounter as we Cycle through this journey called Life...

Soloists

 

Circle Dream 

There are times - chaotic, scary, depressing times, when we forget.  We forget we are connected.  We forget to ask.  We forget to open.  We forget that even though we are alone in or out of the circle, the circle is always there- permeable and whole.

Music:  Circle Dream by 10,000 Maniacs.

What's Old is New Again 

An affectionate tribute to the cabaret and Hollywood dancers that came before us and brought belly dance to America.

Music:  Istanbul (not Constantinople) by Joe Fingers Carr & 80 Drums around the World.

 

The Venus Pool 

We all need a place.  A place to visit, a place to speak, a place to listen.  There used to be such places for all to use.  Peaceful, protected, holy places.  It's not too late for you to find your place, to go there, and to feel the transformation.

Music:  Cleopatra by The Surf Lords from their CD "Shark Attack".

Crone   

Of all the cycles we must endure, old age seems the most unfathomable.  But, the crone has the power of all the passages thus endured.  Yes, we have memories of youth, of responsibilities and parenthood, and even old age itself.  And now, here we are on the other side, looking into the cauldron and seeing the unbroken chain of our lives, believing that the final cycle in just the beginning of the circle...

Music:  Pour Matoub by Cheb i Sabbah and Other Side of the River by Omar Faruk Tekbilek.
