Northampton Chronicle & Echo - Northampton, U.K.Thursday, November 15, 2007
A spiritual order of the Whirling Dervishes will perform in Northampton for the first time this month.
The Turkish dancers derive from Sufism, a moderate form of Islam, which promotes mutual understanding and divine love.
Founded in the 13th century by philosopher and poet Rumi, the order will appear as part of a Spring Educational Society project, which supports Turkish-speaking communities in other countries.
Society spokesman Selcuk Bassoy said: "This is a chance for the people of Northampton to witness this intensely spiritual and inspirational performance without having to travel to Turkey."
As well as the Whirling Dervishes, the evening will include music, poems, the Turkish paper-decorating art of marbling and video presentations.
The performance is on November 22 at 7.30pm, in the main hall, Avenue Campus, University of Northampton.Tickets cost £10 and can be booked by calling Mr Bassoy on 07921 645887 or emailing info@springeducation.org.uk.
