\"Kasik Oyunu\" |
 |
he Spoon Dance is performed from Konya to |
|
Silifke and consists of gaily dressed male and female dancers |
|
\'clicking\' out the dance rhythm with a pair of wooden spoons |
|
in each hand. |
|
he dance was /is danced in various regions of |
|
Greece, but mainly originates from Cappadocia, here from the |
|
regions around Farassa, Silli, and Ikonio. There is a wide |
|
breadth of variety of the dance: how and when it is danced and |
|
who dances it. In the spoon dance, each dancer dances with a |
|
pair of wooden spoons in each hand, in that they clap out a |
|
rhythm supplemental to the music, while the feet dance a |
|
different step rhythm (which is very confusing at first for |
|
those learning the spoon dance). Since the melody in the |
|
foreground does not repeat the rhythmic motif clapped by the |
|
spoons, the dancers are, so to speak, musicians, who, in the |
|
background, clarify the music being played. The dancers dance |
|
freely in the room in pairs comprised of the opposite or the |
|
same sex. The couples relate to one another and together they |
|
make various turns to the music. |
 |
|
 |
n some cases it is danced |
|
only by women, which is usually the case, or by men (whereby in |
|
these particular regions it was considered immoral for women to |
|
dance with spoons), or in other cases both men and women danced |
|
together, sometimes even married couples. It was danced on |
|
different occasions: engagements, weddings, carnivals, and |
|
religious festivals. Spoons were widespread as instruments in |
|
Cappadocia, and often dances were accompanied only by song and |
|
spoon rhythms. |
