SARA'S LAST STAND - performance of Egyptian dance
Details
I am delighted to invite you to
Sara Farouk's
show with Benat el Medina and friends.
The performance at Chats Palace will be the culmination of a week long preparation programme where Sara, with her unique teaching style of linking technique with expression, will choreograph and assist both group and solo performers:
Lesley Allan * Emma Chapman * Katrina Duncan * Farah Nasri * Jude McGillivray * Ewa Horsfield * Jane Hurley * Abi Redmond * Mindy Meleyal * Anita Meyer * Nardine * Poppy Platanias * Anna Steven * Sandra Thompson * Viv * Miwako Yamada *
As a fitting return to the 'home' of Benat el Medina with members of the original group and friends, it will also mark the conclusion of Sara's performance career in London.

More about Sara:
Sara Farouk is a dancer, award winning actress, choreographer and director who has worked professionally in Europe, Egypt, North Africa and Turkey, across TV, Film and Theater. After studying at Hull and Dartington Colleges of Arts, Sara qualified as a teacher of Dance and Drama at Rolle College of Education, England. She first visited Egypt in the early 1980s while pursuing her acting career, and took her first classes in Egyptian dance. She then taught and performed in London and nurtured the performance group BANAT EL MADINA (of which I was a member!).
After gaining an honours degree in anthropology of the Middle East from SOAS she moved to Egypt. She has been living and working there for the last 12 years and, after directing dance and drama extravaganzas in Sharm el Sheikh and Luxor, she now collaborates regularly with Eman Zaki and Randa Kamel.
