A Performance Salon Master Class with Ranya Renée of New York City
Theatrical Improvisation for Bellydance
with Ranya Renée - NYC
Sunday May 18, 2025   2:00pm - 5:00pm EDT

Theatrical Improvisation for Bellydance is a performance training lab to infuse your dance improvisation with theatricality for a great effect on your art and your audience! 

Take command of the stage and free your creative spark when you improvise!

 You'll work with your dance at various speeds, with different types of music, to integrate feeling, intentionality, and relationship to the audience. 

You'll learn skills to manage your introverted and extroverted modes of being onstage.

You won't be just "dancing busy", or stuck not knowing what to do next, but really connecting. 

This intimate setting, with full theatrical lighting, will help you get inspired under show conditions ...and to work through your onstage obstacles to truly put yourself out there. 

In-person attendance for this workshop is strictly limited to ten participants.
This is a truly unique theater space and you will love it! 

All participants will get access to watch the recordings. 

Zoom participants will have an option to ask questions, share in the live discussion, and get more specific feedback from me after the workshop.

WHEN: Sunday May 18, 2025, @ 2:00pm-5:00pm EDT 

WHERE: West midtown, Manhattan, NYC (directions to the secret location will be sent to you on registration) + Zoom online join option

PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITY:
We are planning a showcase of this work for early evening after the workshop: an improvisation-based performance. 
Zoom attendees will also be able to watch the performance.

TECHNIQUES WE'LL COVER:

-  Breathwork for Performance technique to infuse the performance space with your energy, reach out to the audience, and share your emotions (the ones you actually WANT to share!)

-  Practical Magnetism: using stretch velvet resistance bands, to better feel how you can use your physicality to connect with the audience, enhancing both physical and emotional response

-  Character in Performance : using personas and archetypes to build confidence and charisma 

- Signature Gesture:  integrating everyday movements that pack power and mood into your dance... even if they are not part of your typical dance vocabulary

- COACHING: all members of the workshop will be able to get coaching feedback from me  (Zoom members can get more detailed coaching after the workshop, either by submitting video or from the gallery view of the recording)

Indulge your inner dance nerd with this scholarly and practical two-part workshop for dancers on Perceptual & Cognitive Factors in Performance. It's about performer confidence and how our audiences form unconscious but powerful impressions of us and our confidence and competence onstage.

You'll be ready to do an audit of your onstage expression - facial expressions, body language, movement style, and identify where you want to finesse it, so your audience will only see the dance you want them to see, and feel the way you want them to feel about you.

This program will give an advantage in learning how to hide onstage mistakes ("oops" no more!) and putting your best self out there!

ABOUT ME: I have been bellydancing since 1990, since 1994 focusing on Egyptian style dance. Since 1996 I've taught Egyptian oriental, baladi, and folkloric dance, performance-skills/Acting for Dancers, and Breathwork for Performance, in New York City and internationally.
In 2015 I completed my master's in psychology, focusing on aspects of cognitive psychology in the context of performance. In addition to dance, I also teach yoga, Pilates, and Barre, and coach performers and presenters on increasing their confidence and stage presence through physical and mental training.
My online Ginger City studio offers live and prerecorded courses on Egyptian baladi, Breathwork for Performance, Arabic musicality, and other topics, along with coaching programs, talks and discussions.
