One of the most sought-after belly dancers in the St. Louis area, Cora Camille has 17 years experience as a professional. Camille began her study of classical Egyptian and Lebanese dance under the instruction of Diana Wolf of Simone’s Seventh Veil in St. Louis, MO. Never letting go of her passion for belly dancing while attending the University of Missouri, Camille opened her own belly dance studio in Columbia, Missouri to teach group classes and private lessons which helped supplement her income as a college student.
The power and beauty of Egyptian music sparked Camille’s initial interest in the dance and led her to pursue learning to play Middle Eastern music. This pursuit landed Camille in London, England, where she studied dance and rhythm with internationally-acclaimed percussionist and producer Hossam Ramzy. It was Ramzy that introduced Camille to his long-time mentor and fellow musician friend Wadie Nossier. Nossier, a former instructor from the Cairo Music Institute and a world-renown oud-maker, taught Camille Egyptian music and how to play the oud. At the end of Camille’s stay in London, Nossier bestowed the honor of personally crafting her an oud for performances before she left England to return home to the United States.
After returning home to the U.S., Camille came up with the name Final Veil and began looking for musicians to help her fulfill the dream of playing live Egyptian music. After trying various musicians and line-ups for Final Veil
(at one point even having a six-piece band), Camille decided to combine her love for Egyptian music with her equal feelings for Electronic music. .
These are dangerous times, friend. Everybody’s up on the stump shouting about the future and their plans for what will be, promising that change will manifest only through his or her personal vision. What about now? What about that moment that exists right here — there — and is gone? You can’t live for the future — it never comes. You have to make your peace with the present if you’re going to have any peace at all.
Learn, Artist! is concerned with right now. The two-guitar, one-bass improvisational band carves out swooping arcs of now, holds them up to the light for the briefest of examinations, and then lets the now combust with dignity and purpose so that something newer can fill the void. Squiggly echoes fold into distant foghorn blasts and become an effervescent haze that lingers no longer than is decent. The future is unwritten, but the present is forever learned.
Learn, Artist! explores the now at 6 p.m. at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum on the Washington University campus (Forsyth and Skinker boulevards; http://www. kemperartmuseum. wustl. edu or 314-935-4523) as part of the Kemper Presents concert series. Admission is free, and complimentary snacks and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer are provided.
No matter how you celebrate this season it is a magical time of year. Capture that magic. Take a deep breath of it. Let it spark your imagination and there is no limit to what you can create.
Wishing you a most blessed Christmas and abundant 2008.
