"From the East to the West" is a 3 day long mini-festival on traditional music and dance.
The series of events will highlight commonalities in traditional music and dance practices from the Eastern Mediterranean and the Celtic World. Interesting themes that will be explored are songs, circle dances and immigration. The project will provide three separate master classes introducing tradition to dancers/instructors, visual/audio artists and musicians through a holistic approach, which will offer a forum to compare and exchange experiences, and also to foster creative practices.
