| Medea Sirkas Documentary Film to Be Released in 2011 |
||||||
|
Founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in
1991, Medea Sirkas has been a global phenomenon in the dance industry over the
years, known for their precise, and synchronized, group strutting routines.
Medea Sirkas has toured Japan, Europe, and North America and has also had
several televised performances in its 19 year history. Recently Medea Sirkas
was featured in the Justin Bieber music video for “Somebody to Love” featuring
Usher, Paul Wall’s “Got to Get it,” and a Halftime Performance in 2010 at an
NBA Playoff Game.
Tommy “Fayzo” Washington and Mikel Fair
take the story of Medea Sirkas back to its beginnings as a hard stepping dance
group called “Black Velvet,” led by Charles Marshall, who inspired Tommy during
his childhood as a member of Peoples Temple. Charles Marshall perished in
Guyana. Until recently, Tommy has suppressed many of his experiences at Peoples
Temple, and is using the documentary to open up about his memories,
inspirations and tragedies leading back to that time, as well as his own
personal experiences with Jim Jones.
In the documentary, Fayzo speaks about
how, in the afterlife, Charles Marshall and the spirit of Black Velvet elevated
young Tommy Washington into the man named Fayzo, who has been dancing for
almost forty years, and shows no signs of slowing down.
