Riverdance

Riverdance is a theatrical show consisting mainly 
of  traditional   Irish  music and  dance . Featuring 
Irish dancing champions Jean  Butler  and Michael 
Flatley, and with a score composed by Bill 
Whelan, it originated as an interval  performance  
act  during  the 1994 Eurovision  Song  Contest. 
Shortly afterwards,  husband  and  wife   production  
team  John McColgan and Moya Doherty  expanded  
it into a stage show, which opened in  Dublin  on 9 
February  1995. Since then, the show has visited 
over 450  venues   worldwide  and been  seen  by 
over 25 million people, making it one of the most 
successful dance productions in the world

 
 
Background

Riverdance is rooted in a three- part   suite  of baroque- influenced  
traditional music called Timedance composed, recorded and performed 
for the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest, which was hosted by Ireland. At 
the time, Bill Whelan and Dónal Lunny composed the music, augmenting 
the Irish folk  band  Planxty with a rock  rhythm  section of  electric   bass  
and drums and a  four - piece   horn  section. The piece was performed, with 
accompanying ballet dancers, during the interval of the contest, and 
later  released as a Planxty single. Whelan had also produced EastWind, a 
1992 album by Planxty  member  Andy Irvine with  Davy  Spillane, which 
fused Irish and  Balkan  folk music and influenced the  genesis  of 
Riverdance.  Thirteen   years later, Bill Whelan was invited to do the 
intermission piece for  another  Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, and 
composed Riverdance. In a book about Planxty (The Humours of Planxty, 
by  Leagues O'Toole), Whelan says, "It was no mistake of mine to  call it 
Riverdance because it connected absolutely to Timedance".

 
 
Legacy 
Riverdance continues to be performed all over the world, 
in a diminished  format  and in smaller venues.  Current  
productions are geared towards smaller theatres, 
whereas past productions have been performed in large 
theatres and arenas. Sets have therefore been simplified 
and some numbers  contain  fewer performers than in past 
productions ( such  as those seen on the  Live  from New 
York  (1996) and Live from Geneva (2002) DVDs). Each 
production company is  named  after an Irish river: Liffey, 
Lee, Lagan, Avoca,  Shannon , Boyne, Corrib, Foyle, Moy 
and Bann. Bill Whelan created a Symphonic Suite from his 
original  score, which had its United Kingdom premiere at 
a matinee performance of the 2014 BBC Proms on 25 
August 2014 at the  Royal  Albert Hall; it was performed by 
the Ulster Orchestra conducted by Jac van  Steen .

Estonian holidays, festivals, cultural events

Holidays, Festivals, Cultural events TALLINN - If you're looking for entertainment in Estonia this summer, you are really spoiled for choice. Festivals and events dedicated to the consumption of beer are a lot of fun, but if you want to get the true feel of the country, you need something a little more ethnic. Like a town fair. Just as July becomes August, the seaside town of Haapsalu will host a grand spectacle of rural Estonian entertainment. The White Lady Days is a summer celebration filled with amusement for all the family. Held in and around the remains of the Teutonic-knights-era castles, the fair combines enchanting medieval legends with modern countryside charm to create a comprehensive experience of Estonia beyond the big cities. But the legend of the White Lady of Haapsalu, which is at the heart of the festival, is perhaps the most famous tall tale of the many that are so abundant in Estonia's folklore. It is the story of a poor girl who falls in love with the son of the

The art of dance

The art of dance Kristiina Moosel, N-14 There’s 7,3 billion humans on the planet Earth right now. [1] All of us know how to dance. Some of us just might not know it. But why are people dancing? With the latest decades more and more people have started dancing. They all have their own reasons and ways how and why they’re doing it. Some of us do it to entertain others and themselves, some are doing it as an art form. There’s people, who are communicaiting by dancing and those who work out or even meditate by doing it. In my case, I’m doing it because of all the above. [2] What is „A Dance“?

Ireland is the third largest island in Europe. It lies in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. Politically it is divided into a sovereign state, the Republic of Ireland, that covers about five-sixths of the island (south, east, west and north-west), and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, covering the northeastern sixth of the island.[1] The name 'Ireland' derives from the name Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word 'land'. The population of the island is just under 6 million (2006); just over 4.2 million in the Republic of Ireland[2] (1.6 million in Greater Dublin[3]) and just over 1.7 million in Northern Ireland[4] (0.6 million in Greater Belfast[5])).
