Creating an archive in memory of
Ibrahim Akef

“The great maestro and choreographer died on 9th March 2006. And with him an important part of the history of oriental dance. Who had the privilege to study with Ibrahim Akef will always conserve and treasure his teaching.

Yet, this is not enough to keep his memory alive. Important names in oriental dance sustain that there are no filmed images of him.

I knew him for years and thanks to the special friendship we had, he allowed me to film him in not one, but three different choreographies, I would like to show these films to oriental dance fans during the “stages” which will be held in Italy and abroad.

Moreover, I ask whoever has a filmed image of the maestro in their possession to contact me in order to create a Fund and an Archive to allow those who did not have the privilege of meeting Ibrahim Akef, to see the art which emanates from his movement and his way of interpretating music.

The contribution derived from such an initiative would be an immense enrichment to the understanding of oriental dance.
