matt wright these are *beautiful* photos
and i understand what you're saying about just how hypnotic the dancers are. i once tried to take a belly dancing class but found the movements of the instructor so trance-making...i was all over the place...i knew i just couldn't cut it a student without falling into some alternate state of consciousness.
just out of curiosity, how did you get the tip off about these guys? also, any upcoming performaneecs you would recommend?
There have been posters for it around town...
BTW, here's the Wikipedia entry about them. You can also see a short clip of the Dervishes in the film Baraka.
Boo, thanks, and as Jon predicted, I happened to see a flier at Clementine and was curious about the performance. It didn't disappoint, although it might not be for everyone. There's a good hour solid of just music, which is mainly flutes, drums, and monotonous chanting, before the whirling begins.
As for future performances, I don't think there are any in the area besides this one. You can check their website, though, linked in the post. And for all I know there may be other groups out there doing similar stuff.
