Samovar Dance LLC presents:
Joe Williams and the Delsarte System of Expression, tailored for Dancers!
What do Morocco (noted authority on Mid-Eastern dance) and the Juilliard School in NYC have in common? Both have Joe Williams on their faculty teaching Delsarte! "Joe Williams has single-handedly brought the wonderful principles and authentic teachings of real Delsarte back to life and to us. It's a necessary addition that improves any performing Art and Joe's clear, loving and gentle explanations make it so much easier for any student to grasp and employ for their betterment. He is simply inspiring." -- Morocco
Delsarte gesture & movement principles will
...add emotional depth to your technique & improvisation,
...improve communication with your audience,
...identify the movement patterns that are limiting the expressive use of your body.
The workshop will be a hybrid of two of Joe’s most popular seminars for dancers. ‘Body Language and the Dance’ introduces the basics of body language as revealed by Delsarte. ‘Expressive Zones of the Body’ is filled with "A-Ha!" moments as students recognize how accurate and applicable these forgotten truths are. Learn how changing the height of a gesture by a few inches, or changing the finger which is used to initiate a touch, can powerfully alter the meaning of that gesture.
Dancers and choreographers of all genres, persuasions and skill levels will enjoy this seminar. $25 tuition includes refreshments and a meet-and-greet with Joe after the event. The most recent edition of Joe's Delsarte Practice Guide will be available for purchase at the workshop.
Ruric's short workshop on improvisation last December got enthusiastic feedback from the attendees, and significant portions of that workshop incorporated Delsarte principles. If improvisation is one of your passions (or on your to-do list) then skip the take-out pizza that night and come instead to this unique and effective workshop!
The seminar is at Ruric-Amari's dance studio at
300 Distillery Commons,
Louisville KY 40206
(next to Headliners on Lexington Road)
Easy access from all major interstates.

================================
Joe lives in New York City, and has been creating workshops and seminars on Delsarte since 1997. He is on the movement faculty for the Dalcroze Institute at Juilliard, and has been a guest teacher and Artist in Residence for Lori Belilove’s Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation in New York. Williams has taught Master Classes for the Dance Department at Iowa State University, Wright State University, Ocean County Performing Arts Academy in NJ, Corporeal arts Inc. and at the Omaha Healing Arts Center. He has taken Delsarte to the Star Island Retreat Center for a week of dance, and used Delsarte to teach body language as a guest lecturer for communication classes at Mercy College, Bronx Community College and the School for Visual Art in Manhattan. A article in Mime Journal's 2005 special edition on Delsarte has brought him international recognition for his work in Delsarte and he has been consultant and teacher for the first scholarly thesis on the subject to be written in France, Francois Delsarte’s homeland.
In the field of Middle Eastern Dance (MED) , he is on the faculty of Morocco and the Casbah Dance Experience, and has taught seminars and performed for Bellyjam, Stars of the East, Shakira in Columbus, Ohio, and special appearances with Su’ad and Farasha, in Connecticut, Vermont and New Jersey. Joe’s work with Delsarte has been featured in articles in the MED publications "WAMEDA" (July-August 2000) and "Zaghareet!" (Sept - Oct 2000). His involvement in MED began in 1985 when Joe joined the Dayton Ethnic Dance Ensemble, which studied historically accurate Middle Eastern dance. In 1986 he began to work on the dance of the Whirling Dervish, which he has been performing consistently since 1994, most notably for the Institute of Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience at Rutgers Universtity and the New School University Diversity Initiative in New York.
A teacher of dance, voice and yoga, Joe has a BA in organizational and interpersonal communications and a minor in theater from Wright State University, where he was the artistic director for the "Rolling Stock" theater group, helping to write and produce touring shows that presented the talents of differently-abled students. He was a scholarship student in ballet at the Dayton Ballet and Dayton Contemporary Dance schools (becoming assistant business manager of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company for one year), and taught communication workshops for the Wright State School of Medicine for 6 years. His performing credentials include dinner theaters in the Midwest, where he danced and sang his way in numerous musicals including "George M", "Fiddler on the Roof," "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Phantom," "Annie," and several holiday reviews. He has also appeared as vocal soloist in oratorios with regional orchestras and with the Upper West Side Opera Association in Manhattan.
