Gabby says:
"...Art can bring people together...Dance is celebration for everyone no matter race,social status,age,weight...Dance is a celebration of the beauty of all of the greatness each person can bring to table and I think that should be experienced and explored."
The International Dance Night started with Tahitian Dance.Gabby,A Theatre Arts major and Peace Studies minor, affectionately used her body as an instrument to move and play songs within songs of Tahiti and Tahitian Drums.Then In Afro-Brazilian Gabby performed through parts of her heritage and blood with Rapunzel while Akeem Biggs,a Theatre Arts freshman accompanying her. In Russian Gypsy ,Gabby spoke language of languages by her movements to appear as a real gypsy ,a vagabond of eras and lands.
With a song of Dokhtar Iruni of Andy the show reached its culmination and climax.Here our star dancer from Irak,Iran was her real self while reaching an international community inside and ottside herself,you read it Her Self.
Indian Dance with Mere Dholna song, performed by Jackie Joseph,a Political Science with Woman Studies minor and a Bharta Natiam classical Indian Dancer.Due to variety of musics,languages,religions and culture ,the Indian Dance already seems to be multifaceted with an international tone,represented beautifully by Jackie in tonight show.
In Belly Dance as a traditional Middle East expression of words with music and movements Gabby presented a masterly dance.She also performed Sword Dance,another art feature from Middle East also known and practiced in East Asia as well as Eastern Europe,Greece and Britain.This is considered the peak of mastery in Belly Dance.
George Balanchine says:
"I don't want dancers who want to dance,I want dancers who have to dance."This urge was so evident in Gabby and Co. during their performance in International Dance Night,which was hosted by Marissa Boynton and James Phelps V,with special thanks to Peace Week Committee ,also Gabby's "Iranian family here in New Orleans,Dr Behrooz Moazami and Zohreh Khaleghi" and "To everyone who made this possible."
