Aliah Selah
dances colors, shapes,
& the poetry of movement...
Aliah
loves learning Sign Language
& Indian Mudras so
she can combine them
with the lyrics of her songs.
One day she wishes to have these movements
be taught to background vocalist/dancers
for live performance as
well as in
future music videos.
Aliah has danced since she was 3
and she feels it is her most natural
form of expression.
In Austin, she made several music videos
that played on several TV Shows
(Trippin' In Austin, Multi-Media
Cafe
SOTV, &
Wake Up & Smell the Incense!)
as well as several Austin Music Network's shows:
Remote Control
and award winning shows
Rawtime and Capzeyes with Dave Pruit.
Among the favorites:
"Split Second Inspiration"
from her Like an Angel EP
"Marliyn"
from Aliah's 1st solo CD Acoustic Perfume
"Shades Of Images"
from Aliah's 2nd solo CD Shades Of Images
"Bless The Water"
to be on Aliah's 3nd solo CD
that helped to promote the S.O.S
(Save Our Springs) issue in Austin, TX.
and the HomeTown Music Video Award finalist
"Kaleidoscope Rainbow"
that was used as part of the leader for
the popular Austin TV show:
Trippin' In Austin.

As
Aliah tells it,
"Your body is your instrument."
Tired of looking for music
through which she could
express her choreography,
she opted to make her own.

A
photo by Jake Gooze from her
A DANCER FOR PEACE Tour
to Israel, France & Amsterdam.
The
Dancer For Peace Tour was inspired by Peace
Pilgrim who walked 7x's across the US
in the name of peace -
both inner and outer peace.
Aliah's show
in Amsterdam was on the same bill
as Timothy Leary's Evolution Tour at De Kosmos.
(An amazing huge space that was like an alternative YMCA
-
besides a Theater, it had a Restaurant, Health Food Store,
Library, and co-ed Sauna.)
Her show included multi-media slides behind her and
she performed to a packed house.
Recently, while playing in the
A2A
Music Festival
she re-connected with old friends
that she had met during her first stay
in the magical city of Amsterdam.
Interestingly, it was her song
"Little Shelf"
that they chose to showcase -
a song that she performs
as a Performance Art Dance Piece
much like her show
A Dancer For Peace
did years ago.
She's in pre-production on a video for
"Little Shelf" and now she sees video
as another element for her dance choreography
and a way to preserve the performance
& sacred intention with inspirational visuals. |
