Come and experience the healing power of tarantella rhythms and dance with internationally renowned singer, percussionist, teacher, and healer, Alessandra Belloni, Artist in Residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York City. Rhythm is the Cure is an intensive healing workshop featuring Southern Italian ritual and shamanic dances, as well as frame drum playing, traditional healing modalities used throughout the Mediterranean.In 1641, the Jesuit philosopher Athanasius Kircher wrote about his strong belief in the power of this form of dance therapy to work a magical cure for depression, anxiety, reproductive issues and energetic blockages. The healing trance dance of the tarantella, or spider dance, progresses through several stages of purification and transformation before ending with a whirling movement that breaks the imaginal webs that bind us.Each session begins with 1.5 hours of hands-on drum technique followed by 1.5 hours of dance instruction, as well as a culminating ritual dance experience. Students will learn variations of the basic 6/8 rhythm of the Tarantella, an ancient form of music therapy and the corrosponding dance movements, that together represent an unbroken shamanic tradition from pre-Christian times to the present. We will also delve into dances in honor of the Black Madonna, such as the 'Tammorriata' and the Spinning Dance of San Rocco. More information:THE SPINNING DANCE, Based on a trance tarantella from Calabria in honor of San Rocco, dating back to the Middle ages, used as a healing ritual against the plague. Everyone spins together in a spiral and in a circle. PIZZICA TARANTATA The final part will be dedicated to the healing trance dance of purification called Pizzica Tarantata, used to cure a mental disorder called Tarantismo, which afflicted mainly women, who felt stuck in the spider web of their society. Every student will learn the steps of the Pizzica, which are very fast and energetic. Part of the ritual takes place on the floor, and the dance is actually a spider-like movement on the ground. This part has the most amazing healing effect, releasing stress, blockage of sexual energy, as well as opening the heart and throat chakra according to the movements, as if coming out of an imaginary SPIDERWEB. Alessandra will end the sessions using the ocean drum, creating the sound of the waves in a final relaxation invoking the healing power of the water. Please wear white and red, the ritual colors of the Tarantate. (Please do not wear black.)
