“Jawaahir performances
are always a feast for the senses;
hypnotic music, colorful costumes, and,
of course, dazzling movement...”
–
City Pages
With dazzling movement and
brilliantly colorful costumes, Jawaahir
(“jewels” in Arabic) lives up to its
namesake. Artistic Director Cassandra
Shore fills the stage with enchanting
music and culture from a region that
has nurtured some of the world’s most
thrilling dance traditions. One of just
three professional dance companies in
the nation committed to Middle Eastern
dance forms, (and the only in the upper
Midwest), Jawaahir’s inter-nationally known
productions combine
traditional folkdances and
contemporary Middle
Eastern ballets in a
theatrical feast for both
newcomers and the most
global of appetites. |
