Pre-Islamic Egyptian Dance with Duchess Faizeh
First, all my research is springboarded from the research
and class taught by Mistress Rosalind Mihrimah (mka Kristina Kelly). My historical knowledge comes initially from
her handout and sources, and then the Google Cycle went from there. My primary goal when studying ancient and
medieval dance is to recreate the movement, and that is what we will be
attempting to do in this class, utilizing the art imagery from the time period.
For the purposes of this, we will be focusing on the
followers of Bacchus (Dionysus in Greek), particularly the Maenads (the wild
women) and their rituals.
