I am working with several <BR>student groups around the country to bring a Palestinian youth dance<BR>troupe to the Boston area on the weekend of Oct 29th. The group is<BR>from the Ibdaa Cultural Center in Dheisheh Camp, Palestine.<BR>(<A href="http://www.dheisheh-ibdaa.net/"> www.dheisheh-ibdaa.net</A>) . They are doing a national tour of the US.<BR>We want to hook them up with good people in Boston.<BR><BR>Elaine mentioned that you have an anti-war
rally scheduled for the<BR>29th in the Boston Area. I thought it might be powerful for the young <BR>people from Dheisheh to briefly dance and or speak for the rally if<BR>you have room in your program. This is the youngest of the Ibdaa<BR>Dance generations; they have never left Palestine before, and range<BR>in age from 10-15 years old. They are fantastic. They are politically <BR>very strong. Of course they are against the war.<BR><BR>So, a couple of questions for you:<BR><BR>Any chance you could spare 3 minutes in your program to give them a<BR>chance to perform in solidarity with the youth under occupation in <BR>Iraq?<BR><BR>Another question: We are still looking for a venue for them to do a<BR>substantial performance in the Boston area on the evening of the<BR>30th. Elaine thought you guys might have some ideas..... I am<BR>relocating to Boston from California, but as of yet don't know many<BR>people or have a sense of where people hold such event... do you
have<BR>any suggestions?<BR><BR>Thanks!
