About the Actor
Artemis has been dancing, teaching and researching dance history in the United States and abroad for her entire adult life. Artemis is of Greek and Turkish descent. She fuses her love of these cultures with strong academic knowledge and excellent dance technique. She believes that we can all use art to build bridges across cultures. Artemis has contributed to many publications. Extensive travel to 33 countries and intensive research into the idioms of the East, women's issues, psychology, ancient history, oriental dance, Romany (Gypsy) dance and dance ethnology have yielded many manuscripts and articles. Artemis has an M.A. in psychology, an M.S.W. in social work (with specialized studies in cross cultural awareness) and has done postgraduate work in dance movement therapy. She was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Her research is used by Egyptian universities, the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. and the Library for the Performing Arts in New York. She has lectured, taught and/or performed for Cornell University and Princeton University, National Public Radio (NPR), Voice of America and in Spain, England, France, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Canada, Turkey and in 29 states within the United States. Artemis is a member of the Society of Folk Dance Historians. She uses her writing and her dance and history lectures to fight the racism which exists against the Roma. Her humanitarian interests extended to helping the survivors of hurricane Katrina and she received the key to the city of Lafayette for these efforts. She also continues in her efforts to have Middle Eastern dance receive the recognition and respect that every other legitimate dance form enjoys. Artemis has done field research in ancient dance, Middle Eastern dance and Romany (Gypsy) dance. She has collected wonderful video footage of Roma people in which they are dancing, celebrating and experiencing everyday life. Artemis also collects antique pictures of women and dancers from North Af
Product Description
In her first feature dance video, originally released in 1997, Artemis performs a variety of pieces adapted for the stage. These performances are interspersed throughout an intimate interview with the artist and rare footage of Roma (Gypsy) in Turkey. This production includes five complete numbers, including : Turkish Style Oriental Ancient Classical Improv American Cabaret Turkish Rom (Gypsy) Cabaret Fusion "The Turkish style of dance is less refined than its Egyptian sister. It is less elegant but not less articulate. What it lacks in composure, it makes up in spontaneity and passion. Both styles are artistic and legitimate and neither is superior to the other." - Artemis Mourat, M.A., M.S.W. Dancer, Teacher, Researcher, Writer
