Dances of Ecstasy (PAL)

Dances of Ecstasy A sensory journey through rhythm, dance and music around the world visits Namibia, Korea, Nigeria, New York, Brazil, Turkey, Morocco, USA and Australia, interweaving traditional and contemporary ecstatic dance rituals. We all want to belong, to feel that we are part of something greater than our individual selves. Through interweaving traditional and contemporary rituals, we wanted to illuminate the spiritual vacuum and deep loss of community that exists in our modern lives in this time. We hope this DVD will inspire people to reconnect with that sacred source. (Nicole Ma)
