Paulette Rees Denis presents Tribal Travels-a dance and music collage from Gypsy Caravan

Tribal Travels: A Collage Paulette Rees-Denis presents a film by Christopher Ritchie. Welcome to the world of tribal bellydance told through the hips and hands of Gypsy Caravan. They weave you through strands of their journey of dance and music with evocative and sensual performances in intimate restaurants and in large productions. Join this celebration of life through rhythms, melodies and movement with an eclectic tribe of dancers and musicians from Portland, Oregon as they travel on their own pilgrimage of passion, ritual, obsession and art. With discussions about their dance, teaching and performing, to song creations, experience what being with Gypsy Caravan is like for these entertainers. An in depth look at their journey spanning over two years, 2002-2004, follow these nomadic musical storytellers, inspired by the ancient traditions of different cultures, as they fuse their collective vision to create this evolving cultural and visual collage. "The Giza Academy Awards would like to congratulate Paulette Rees-Denis and Gypsy Caravan for winning our award for the best HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY OF A TROUPE with your video, Tribal Travels: A Collage."
