An exciting new dance work has been brewing in the past several months within the Blue Mountains. The Winter Magic festival will host the “première” showing of this brand new & exciting production, “Intertwine” as part of this years Winter Magic Month program.
Devi Mamak has drawn together dancers, musicians and artists of varied disciplines and styles, braiding their talents together into a compelling and cohesive whole, creating a joyful, mysterious, colorful and diverse show that intertwines cultural traditions and an ebullient creative spirit. Audiences can expect to experience a visual & audio feast of dances and music from around the world from current re workings of the ancient Middle East, through to the gypsy dances of India, Temple dancers in Bali, the raw energy of African dance, passionate Flamenco styles, and right through to modern day Hip hop and back again.

"It has been a dream of Ghawazi Caravan's to not only work with other dancers from various dance genres but to also work with fantastic musicians. “Everyone in the show is so hugely talented and this project has been so much fun to work on. These mixes of dance styles & musical instruments have never before been put together in this way so we all feel extremely excited about it.” Says Devi
"Intertwine" will be a joy for all ages, so come and see what happens when gifted people come together to share, collaborate and make a show supremely beautiful to the senses!
