Tales and Dance of Scheherazade – $200, one hour

Meet the clever and mysterious Scheherazade as she invites the audience on a journey into her world of storytelling and Middle Eastern Dance. Tales both well-known and obscure to Westerners such as Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Rescuing the Moon, and the Anklet are brought to life through movement, dance, and spoken word.

 Moquette Volante – Sultan Interactive, $360 One hour

Based on availability, Scheherazade is joined by the commanding but curious Sultan, or her playful sister Dunazade to add depth to the tales of Arabian Nights and other Silk Road Folklore. As Scheherazade spins her web of storytelling, audience members are invited into the tales as non-dancing characters, allowing them to have a moment of fame as well as entertain friends and family who watch them.

 Moquette Volante – Live Music, $800  One to One and a half hours 

The audience enjoys Tales and Dance of Scheherazade with the added magic of live music, woven throughout the tales.  Longer presentation includes a Q&A with the musicians where audience members learn some basic Middle Eastern rhythms as well as more about the process of creating the stories they have seen.
