Building a Belly Dance History Talk
Behind the Scenes of “The Belly Dance Historian’s Toolbox”
If you’ve been following me for a while costume history is my jam! I began presenting slide-history lectures as an art history student in college. That’s way back before the turn of the century.
By special request from one of my Patreon members, I’m sharing my current process of “Doing” belly dance history. Over the next three months, watch for my latest class series, “The Belly Dance Historian’s Toolbox.”
“But how DO you put together one of these history classes?”
I’ve spent the past few days, recording my process and flow for the key steps in the process of starting from the initial concept to recording and sharing the video. Here’s the loose schedule coming up in the Patreon History level:
- November: “Building a History Talk” a step-by-step process discussion.
- December: “The Belly Dance Historian’s Toolbox” Part 1 “Preparation and Planning”
- January: “The Belly Dance Historian’s Toolbox” Part 2 – “Crafting Intellectual Tools”
- February: “The Belly Dance Historian’s Toolbox” Part 3 – “Tech Deck & Data Storage”
Each class in this features 30+ slides with loads of gorgeous historical photos. Maybe some pictures that you haven’t seen before. This mini-course includes a .pdf handout which includes live links to research tools and archives around the globe. Does this deep dive into history sound like your jam too? Come join me next week when I post the first class on Patreon.
Happy Dance and Costuming,
Dawn Devine ~ Davina
