DESCRIPTION:The 2011 preview of Mosaic was described by author, professor, activist and 
 2006 Peace Scholar of the Year Stephen Zunes as the "most powerful on 
 target creative effort I have ever witnessed on the issue" in the nearly 40 
 years he has spent "working actively on Israel/Palestine". In 2013, Karl 
 Schaffer, Maria Basile, Saki and other well regarded area dancers will join 
 forces with Fattah Abbou of the Moroccan fusion musical group AZA and the 
 women's a cappela choir Zambra to cast an artistic light on the struggles, 
 culture and politics of the Middle East, with a sharp focus on the 
 conflicts between Palestine and Israel.\n\nKarl has received numerous 
 grants from the NEA and other institutions for his dance and choreography. 
 Soloist Maria Basile was a nominee for the Isadora Duncan Award for best 
 dance performance in the Bay Area; she performs with Limón West and 
 sjDANCEco. Saki, Simon Harrison and Jane Real perform with Tandy Beal as 
 well as Karl and other area dance companies.\n\nAnn Simonton, founder of 
 Media Watch,  says "Karl is brilliant at combining exciting dance movement 
 with information". Mosaic will include the premiere of Karl's latest solo 
 choreography, performed by himself. As yet untitled, the piece combines the 
 personal and the political with fast paced challenging choreography, all 
 based on Karl's awakening to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict while he was 
 growing up Jewish in the segregated Birmingham Alabama of the 
 1960's.\n\nThe 2011 Mosaic shows sold out- buying tickets in advance at 
 http://www.motionpacific.com/event/karl-schaffer-mosaic/ is 
 recommended.\nMore information on Mosaic is also available on this webpage.
