Dear Dance Enthusiast and Supporter of The Arts,
The Djanbazian Dance Foundation’s Board of Directors is
pleased to announce the 2006 premier of Lester Horton Award winning
choreographer Anna Djanbazian’s Search for Enlightenment (a working
title), on January 7th, 2006 at 8:00 P.M. and January 8th at 7:00 P.
M. at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse.
The meeting of the philosophers, mystics and poets, Rumi and Shams
in the 13th century, has inspired Djanbazian to create the two-act
contemporary dance event that will include: contemporary
choreography danced by the Djanbazian Dance Company and guest
dancers, live music with vocalist Shahla Sarookhani, video
projections, spoken word, and singing.
An evening of this tremendous proportion not only involves research,
artistic skill and innovative choreography but monetary support to
make it come to life on stage with a cast of skilled dancers,
musicians, a fine technical staff, exquisite costumes and brilliant
lighting to enhance the work presented. Since public funding for the
arts is at the lowest it has ever been, your generous contribution
to Djanbazian Dance Foundation (DDF) will help support this
important cultural event and the future of DDF.
The Djanbazian Dance Foundation as a non-profit cultural
organization has a mission to promote the development of the art of
dance by producing and organizing unique, diverse, educational and
cultural programs. The goals of DDF is to breakdown the cultural
barriers among the youth, build a positive experience and provide
special events that will bring a greater appreciation among various
cultural patrons. Search for Enlightenment (a working title), as a
premier event presented at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse on January 7th and
8th of 2006, will reach beyond the goals of DDF by offering a high
caliber evening of contemporary dance created by master
choreographer, Anna Djanbazian
