Artist Information

Biography

Keshvar is an ancient Persian word describing the structure of the world and its origins. Likewise, the Keshvar Project encompasses all parts of the world, borrowing and honoring different cultures and styles. Troupe Director Camille Wagner and Music co-Directors Mark Stucker & Gregory Morris lead a rich collective of creative and dynamic spirits. Always a crowd pleaser, Keshvar members have performed across the United States in a variety of venues.

Keshvar Project performances are highlighted with 'tribal style' belly dance, part Turkish, part gypsy-jazz, part Spanish, part Moroccan, part Egyptian........ sensual and earthy. A mesmerizing flight of melodies and drumming rumbles forth a vision of moonlit celebrations with a harmonious spice. Interaction and communication among the dancers express the language of feminine energy through choreographed and improvised movements.

Together, the music and dance showcase the old and new, reflective at one moment and intense the next. Let the spirit and soul of the Keshvar Project inspire you.
-Ancient art with modern heart.
