[:en]Jewels of Asia – workshops 18 – 19.11.2017. DKC

WELCOME to the 5th Jewels of Asia experience! Our goal is to make our festival bigger and better each year, so for this jubilee we are planning something completely different…
One thing that hasn’t changed is the team of organizers – Cultural centre ’Nea Pangea’ (led by Tanja Pivljanin) and Bollywood Dance School ’Panna’ (led by Marina Stevanovic) brought this project to life in order to gather all the dancers who cherish Asian dances. We are super excited to see that community of dancers grows as the years go by. Also, we are proud and honoured to be the ones who contributed and to be a part of that transformation. Since Indian dances are becoming noticably more and more popular in the region, we decided to dedicate this festival to all those dancers who maintain the spirit of India alive in this part of the world.
Therefore we created a poll that included all dancers who participated in our workshops over the years. The idea was simple – let the dancers shape workshops according to their demands and desires. The most wanted 5 Indian dance styles are those we will present you this year:
* Odissi
* Bharatnatyam
* Kathak
* Mujra
* Indian tribal
We present you two guest teachers: First one is phenomenal Jana Mankoc, a creative choreographer and an excellent teacher from Slovenia. And the second guest teacher will visit Serbia for the first time, but you are definitely going to fall in love with her – gentle and lovely Katja Tosheva from Sofia, Bulgaria.
As always, we offered an early bird discount to those who were quick to apply. Sadly, the discount was only until the end of June…Now, the price list is different and it is only for the full payment until the END OF OCTOBER:
25e for 1 workshop
50e for 2 ws
75e for 3 ws
95e for 4 ws (+ Open stage free pass)
110e for all 5 workshops (+ Open stage free pass + 1 ticket for jewels of Asia gala show)
All the workshops will take place on Saturday and Sunday, and Jewels of Asia gala show will be held on Saturday evening. But, for the first time in Serbia – we present you “Open stage – Indian style” that will take place on Friday, 17th! It is not meant to be a competition, but a gathering of all the dancers who enjoy in one or many Indian dance forms. Let us create a night devoted to beauty of Indian dance! Let us show the diversity that Indian culture offers! And for those dancers who are at the beginning of their careers – this will be a valuable opportunity to improve because our guest teachers, Jana and Katya, will give you some pointers after the show.
Performances can be solo, duets or groups. Any Indian style – classical, folklore, modern or fusion – is equally appreciated.
For those who take 4 or 5 workshops at our festival, free pass is granted, which means that you can perform up to 3 different styles during the show. For 3 workshops taken, you are given the chance to present only one, your favourite dance style (or 2, with the additional fee of 5e). And if you take 1 or 2 workshops and wish to participate on the open stage – the additional fee is only 5e. Even if you are not interested in the workshops, you could still apply for the open stage!
