This training course is an introduction into knowledge discovery from unstructured data like text documents. It focuses on the necessary preprocessing steps and the most successful methods for automatic text classification (including Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machines, SVM) and text clustering. Many practical exercises for different settings (for example e-mail spam detection, automatic e-mail routing, adaptive personal news filtering, sentiment analysis of text documents like news, web pages, blogs, e-mail, or PDF documents) will enable the participants to transfer the gained knowledge to own text mining problems.

After the training course the participants will have the ability to:

• identify the processes for processing unstructured data
• transform textual data into a structured format
• apply different statistical text processing methods
• perform text classification or text clustering
• work on recent tasks like sentiment analysis or opinion mining

Details

• Target audience: users, analysts, developers, administrators
• Previous knowledge: foundations of data mining and RapidMiner
  
• Methods: lectures, discussions, individual and group work, exercises on realistic data.

Participants may introduce their own work and project specific questions in order to find particular solutions together with the trainer and other participants. The training course addresses intermediate learners and we recommend visiting the course Introduction to Data Mining and Predictive Analytics with RapidMiner.

Artemis has contributed to many publications. Her travel to 33 countries and intesive 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.

Knowing your Roots - Belly Dancing from the Temples to the Cabarets - the History of Belly Dance. Multimedia lecture by Artemis Mourat.

Melina of Daughters of Rhea proudly presents Artemis Mourat at Moody Street Circus in Waltham, MA.  We are kicking off a fabulous weekend of Artemis with her multimedia presentation:  Knowing your Roots - Belly Dancing from the Temples to the Cabarets - the History of Belly Dance.

As with all things in life, you have to know where you came from so that you will understand where you are now and where to go from here. This ancient art form has been much misunderstood. Its origins came from prehistoric worship, then to the Temples of Hathor and it has flourished for thousands of years in its various permutations, finally makings its way into cabarets worldwide. We will explore the many roots of the dance - sacred and secular. Dance was used to invite, entice and communicate with divinities and mortals alike. Dance was carried along the Romany (Gypsy) trail from India to the world. The Almees, also known as "the wise women...the learned females" entertained and educated the people of North Africa. Public performers made their ways to the cabarets of the Middle East and eventually to Europe. America and beyond. Egyptian, Turkish, Lebanese and American styles of Oriental belly dance have flourished. A new art form was born - American Tribal style and in its turn, that gave birth to many other wonderful newer art forms. Regardless of your style or level of dance, you are bound to enjoy many "Ah Ha! Moments" as this workshop connects the dots and fills in the gaps. There is ample DVD footage. Light refreshments will be served.

 

Space is limited.  Tickets are nonrefundable.

Circus Arts 1/2 Day Program for Kids Summer 2013. Session 1 - July 1 - 12, Session 2: July 25 - 26

Calling all kids aged 7 - 13! Run away with the circus without actually having to leave home!  Circus stars Sacha and Melinda Melina Pavlata are hosting and teaching two 2-week sessions of circus camp in their headquarters, Moody Street Circus in Waltham, MA.  Each 2 week session costs $625. Class size is deliberately kept low - to 10 kids per session, to maximize safety and ensure individual attention for all kids to learn circus tricks safely on all the equipment.  There WILL be a class held on the morning of Thursday July 4th for those who wish to attend. Students will participate in a mini circus show on the final Friday of each 2 week session at 11:30 a.m. Parents, caregivers and siblings are welcome to attend this show.  If your child has trouble following directions or listening to teachers in classes, please don't register them for this program! Safety is paramount in the circus arts and respectfully listening to your teachers is integral to the highest quality experience for all involved.  If you have any questions whatsoever, please contact Melinda Pavlata at Moody Street Circus: 781 893 2491

PROGRAM 2-WEEK SESSIONS

JULY 1 - 12 :: 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m :: $625

JULY 15 - 26 :: 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. :: $625

We would prefer students to sign up for the two-week session so they can build their skills up enough to the point to perform well in the mini-show we present at the end of the second week of the program.  However, this year we are letting people register their child for the one-week option -- just keep in mind that there will not be a show presentation at the end of the first week of each 2-week session.  Also, we would like you to contact us before you register your child so we can find out a little more about them and make sure there is room in the week you are choosing. The one week option price is $350 per week, and the options are July 1 - 5, July 8 - 12, July 15 - 19, July 22 - 26.

Students in the circus summer program will practice light assisted tumbling, pyramid formation, rola bola balancing, hula hoop, walking on the rolling globe, low wire tightrope walking, juggling, plate spinning and clowning skills, mini trampoline, and regular trampoline.  They will also learn the basics in circus aerial arts including cloud swing, static trapeze, web, lyra (aerial hoop), aerial web, aerial hammock and silks.

• We start the day with a warm-up and fun stretching and strengthening exercises. 
• We proceed to circus tumbling skills on the tumbling mats, including forward rolls, monkey rolls, wheelbarrows, candlesticks, cartwheels and pyramid formation.
• Throughout each session we introduce some of Sacha Pavlata's multi-generational circus family clowning skits, including Dead Man, Robin Hood the Coin comedy act, the Newspaper and more. KIds can practice their circus theatrics and comedy.
• When time permits we will be screening some great circus acts from our private collection!
• We break into small groups for safe learning on the aerial equipment.  
• Students have practice time on rola bola, rolling globe, low wire, plate spinning, juggling, trampoline.
• We end the day perfecting skills on the mini-trampoline.
• We will provide fresh fruit and bagel with cream cheese snacks daily. Please let us know if your child has any allergies or other medical issues.

Camp will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m.  Students can be dropped off at 8:45 a.m.  Campers must be picked up and signed for on time at 12:30 by their parents or care-givers.

Attire:  Moody Street Circus is a gum-free, street-shoe free zone, even for parents who are dropping off and picking up.  Students will work barefoot, but indoor-use only sneakers and/or acrobatic shoes are suggested for work on unicycle and low wire.  Long hair must be worn pulled back in a pony-tail or in braids. No jewelry or zippers! We go upside-down on equipment and always follow the SAFETY FIRST! Rule, so: Leotards and shorts or leggings for girls, shorts and shirts that can be well-tucked in for boys.  Campers should not be worried about tucking in their shirts when they are upside down, it is very distracting and dangerous when you are learning new tricks to be worried about your clothing. 

Waiver forms MUST be completed for each camper or participation in the program will not be allowed.

Call Melinda at 781 893 2491 or email her (melinda [at] cirquepassion [dot] com) with any questions. To secure your child's spot in a session, pay online now.  Once you are registered, we will email you waiver forms to fill out and send in for your child. This signed form is required prior to participation in any physical activity at Moody Street Circus studio.

Here's a fun video showing our circus students in action! (cut and paste YouTube link into your browser, or search the Moody Street Circus channel on YouTube!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emBSHF5q1o0

Artemis Mourat's Biography - Dancer, Teacher, Writer, Historian

With nearly 4 decades of experience, Artemis has been dancing, teaching, and researching dance history in the U.S. and abroad for her entire adult life. Of Greek and Turkish descent, Artemis fuses her love of these cultures with deep academic knowledge and excellent dance technique to present compelling, spirited workshops that include information on the history and cultures that generate the dances. She believes that we can all use art to build bridges across cultures.

Artemis has contributed to many publications. Her travel to 33 countries and intesive 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 holds an M.A. in psychology and an M.S.W. in social work with specialized studies in cross-cultural awareness. She has also done post graduate work in dance and movement therapy, and field research in ancient dance, Middle Eastern dance, and Romany dance in Turkey, Romania, Czech Republic, Spain, France, England, Morocco, Tunisia, Germany, Slovenia, Italy, Egypt and Greece. She has attended Romany festivals in France, Turkey and Romany, and has collected footage of Roma people dancing and in everyday life. Artemis' collection of antique photos of Roma and dancers from North Africa and the Middle East is among the largest in the United States, and some illustrations have been used by the International Encyclopedia of Dance, the Smithsonian Institution, the largest Romany museum in the world (Czech Republic), all of the major Middle Eastern Dance publications, and in several books.

When she's not traveling for performances or workshops, Artemis teaches regular classes and private lessons in belly dance in the Bethesda, Maryland area.

 

The Fred Elias Ensemble
Fred Elias turned 90 years old the week before his latest CD, Elegant Music for Belly Dance, Volume 3, was recorded.  He started playing with George and Nick when he was 42 years old, and with Mike when he was 54 years old! He has been a mentor to all three for all these years. There friendship and camaraderie transcends the music. Freddy's mastery of the intricate “maquams” of Arabic and Turkish music has been passed over the years to his comrades. At 90 his taksims are improvisational magic. Fred is a “real” survivor,who is an inspiration to all who know him.

George Kokoras is a technical and improvisational master on the keyboard. Whatever sounds he implements on his keyboard (whether it oud, kanoon, ney or santouri) he adapts his embellishments to that particular instrument. George, along with Fred, is responsible for the themes and arrangements on this CD. George has taken everything he has learned from Fred,and added his own musical persona to be the one of the greatest ever at Middle eastern and Greek music.

Nick Kokoras is the consummate “musician's musician.” His relaxed and subtle playing,is at the same time intensely emotional. Nick is all about the collective effort of playing impeccable music, as an ensemble. Nick has adapted his bouzouki to play “quarter tones” so essential to this music. Although he is capable of great speed on his instrument,his playing is a perfect example of “less is more.”

Mike Gregian has been playing doumbek and clarinet since he was 10 years old. Upon hooking up with Fred in 1977, he took his playing to a “master” level. Mike plays intricate patterns where appropriate to the piece being played,without out losing the feel and groove of the particular piece of music. He is known for being an ensemble player and adapting his style to the genre of music being played.
