Zillfest 2008 This year's Zillfest schedule began with a full day of workshops in Denver in March, then Albuquerque in June, and next I'll be teaching an intensive for Group ZillWork in Boulder in October: FROM NOISE TO MUSIC - Inspiration & pleasure in the art of playing finger cymbals TOGETHER. This intensive will give you a taste of some of the revolutionary material from The Dancing Cymbalist, transforming your group zillwork. (Books will be available for sale at all Zillfest events.) All Zillfest workshops are for all levels of experience, musicians and dancers, beginner to seasoned professional, and all styles of Oriental dance: Cabaret, American Tribal, Ethnic/Folk, Interactive Freestyle and Fusion.
