Serena Spears and Ebony Quails Duet

Serena Spears is a New York City-based fusion dance performer and teacher.

She has performed across the country at festivals such as Art of the
Belly, Tribal Fest, Elevation, Tribal Massive, and Rakkasah, both as a
soloist and as part of group projects working with other fusion

current core member and principal dancer of Solstice Tribe, directed
by Sera Solstice.

As a soloist, Serena is known for her boundless energy, precise
technique, and commanding stage presence. A lover of unpredictable
movement, her work flows seamlessly from African to salsa, bellydance
to ballet, and hip hop to modern. Serena is ready to bring some
Afropop swagger to the Electric Vardo Tribal Fest After Party in the
form of a duet with Ebony.

For over 10 years, Ebony has been teaching and performing both
traditional raqs sharqi and her own dynamic fusion belly dance style.

Ebony has taught and performed throughout Asia, Canada, Europe and the
United States. She has toured internationally with the world famous
Bellydance Superstars and Bellydance Evolution and has performed in
and choreographed for Zoe Jakes’ House of Tarot. Ebony has performed
onstage with Grammy nominated band Thievery Corporation, with
electronic musician and performance artist Peaches, and with

The Samwich. There’s not much to say about this pair of Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey loving sass pots. Suffice it to say that providing entertainment is at the top of their list when working together.

Leon Mancilla is a performer at his core. After witnessing his set at Tribal Trove in San Diego, Amar immediately decided to grab him for the Tribal Fest Afterparty. Leon’s exuberance for life and dance shine through every move he makes.

Verbatim and Amar go WAAAAAAYYYY back. They’ve made regular appearances at the Tribal Fest Afterparty since it’s start, and we’re excited to have them back as part of the Electric Vardo 10 year celebration.

Finally, the man himself. Amar has been with Electric Vardo since its beginnings. He continues to use it as a platform to further the knowledge of world music and provide a way to elevate belly dance in all of its forms. Come find him at Tribal Fest and say hello!

KAZOO PRODUCTIONS

Two years ago, Kazoo productions covered our afterparty- this year, we are pleased to welcome them back!!

Proudly providing a direct gateway to the ego for over a decade.

KAZOO PRODUCTIONS is a grass-roots multimedia company located in the Edmonton, Alberta region. We provide professional photography, videography, graphic design and media consultation services for local events/performances.

As a husband and wife team with a lifelong interest in the creative use of audio/visual media to tell a story, we decided we’d dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of what we both loved to do. So, surrounded one evening by the Kaplan zoo, our family of rescued pets, “KAZOO” was born.

When asked about our capture of performance art and dance, we like to say we take the “Fred Astaire” approach. In Mr. Astaire’s contracts he specifically stated that all filming should include the entire dancer’s body and movements without zooming or cutting. In doing so you capture the creation of dance. This leaves the artist direction not in the hands of the videographer or editor, but in that of the dancer where it belongs.

We met Rufio a few years back, and since then- it’s always been a pleasure to see him working events and shooting great photography. This year, he’s back at the Afterparty with a photo booth! He got some fun shots last year, so don’t miss your chance to make a memory of your Tribal Fest weekend!

Reckless Photography is blatant disregard for all that is content with normality, and creative expression that attempts to juxtapose the everyday with both passion and grit. Otherwise known as Rufio van Hoover, Reckless Photography has notably worked with Kami Liddle’s Gold Star Dance Company and Zoe Jakes’ House of Tarot in 2014, and regularly with Luciterra as their official photographer. Commonly found at side stage shooting performances, and tempting you into the photobooth at afterparties, Reckless Photography is excited once again to see you at Tribal Fest. Please take the time to introduce yourself when you get the chance!
