| BEFORE LOLA THERE IS DELILAH BLUE! Long time New Edge Theater followers are familiar with the audacious one legged bank robber Delilah Blue and her adventures with Johnny Taps; now for the first time since introducing the tale as part of the Spic Chic trilogy (S.panish P.eople I.n C.ontrol, Lola Magdalena and Buckwheat Morales Rides Again) New Edge Theater has planted an actual photograph of the real life Delilah in our streaming presentation of the Blue wild woman. http://www.newedgecabaret.com/delilahblue.html DELILAH BLUE produced by Papo Vasquez NEW EDGE CABARET PREMIERE: The centerpiece of El Extremes repertoire DELILAH BLUE is centered on the premise “cut away the past and walk into the future”; the story of one of the most unique relationships created out of the Bronx Nuyorican experience. Delilah Blues Roots: While the performance piece emerged as a slam poetry narrative in 1999, the “form” used in the selection is rooted in 1976’s Narrative of a Hybrid first performed in the spring of 76 at the Octagon in Amherst College (published 1977 The Polemic edited by John G. Russell Ph.D. and subsequently performed at the New Rican Village (1977) and original Nuyorican Poets Café (1977). Part of the cavalcade of New Edge videos being featured on newedgecabaret |

| Color | Delilah is an internationally acclaimed belly dance performer and instructor. . . she was the first dancer to receive the Dancer of the Year Award from the International Academy of Middle Eastern Dance in Hollywood, California 1997.
Delilah grew up in Southern California, learning the dance form as it was passed on and popularized in this country by first and second generation immigrants from Lebanon, Armenia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Morocco and Greece. Her years of devoted study and practice have led her to become one of the foremost teachers and innovators in the field of bellydance today. She is widely known for her breathtaking and deeply inspiring performances. When Delilah was 18, belly dance was fast becoming an American phenomenon. As thousands of women absorbed this dance by way of diverse cultural experience, a new style of American Bellydance evolved. Delilah is an active part of this transformation. While dancing in ethnic nightclubs, fairs, theater productions and folk-style house parties for almost twenty years, she has learned many different styles of dance, and has also learned about music, food, customs, religions, politics and people. Her bellydance experience fuels her interest in studying the fields of mythology, archeology, history, women's studies, bio-ecology, psychology, healing practices, and other movement forms such as tai chi, yoga, modern dance and movement therapy. |

Delilah continues to disseminate her philosophies, techniques and performing artistry on a highly-acclaimed bellydance instructional video series produced by Visionary Dance Productions. These tapes and DVD's cover a wide range of material: hip lifts, undulations, bellyrolls, veilwork, make-up, costuming, finger cymbals, conditioning exercises, choreography, philosophy; and include performances demonstrating a multitude of styles; American Classic , Egyptian cabarett, gypsy, tribal, fusion, character, pharaonic, ritual, healing, therapy. . . Her emphasis is always on health, creativity, and fun! Delilah supports diversity in the dance and enjoys all of its styles; she sees the bellydance as never stationary, but always in a state of creative flux and growth. She encourages the student to examine and experience the dance in its variety of disciplines. In addition to openly sharing her technical knowledge with her students, Delilah imparts the idea that by opening our bodies to these ancient, earthly, and natural movements that connect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we will become more aware environmentally. This gives the dance greater purpose.... "When we are more aware, we are better artists, enjoying a fuller life experience. When we stretch our awareness, we are more equipped to heal our bodies, our relationships and our earth. Belly dance empowers women!" Inspired by this wisdom, Delilah held her first ten-day Visionary Belly Dancing Retreat on the island of Maui in 1992. This annual retreat is now frequented by dancers from all over the world.
