Description:
International Folklore Festival in Veszprém, 2010
Our project aims to create a biennial international meeting and cultural exchange possibility
for (amateur) folk-dance ensembles (preferably with own accompanying instrumental
group), with a special thematic focus for each festival (such as dances of different
professions; from childhood to youth; neighbours’ dances – cross-cultural influences;
authentic dances parallel to choreographies; love and wedding; “Four seasons” – special
dances on special days; “Pastime with good company” – dances of social occasions, balls;
“Story-telling” by dance, etc.)
The number of invitees: 8 groups.
The event would be held in August, (more specific dates are still to be defined), starting with
arrival on Thursday, leaving on Monday.
Specialty: a group teaches another group one national dance of their own and vice versa, and
the results are performed together on the gala-evening. (It means 8 dances, performed by 4
“united groups”. These are to be performed at the end of the gala-evening, after the
presentation of the individual choreographies of 15-20 min.
International jury + audience award (not money)
Individual performances in Veszprém and vicinity.
Free time by the Lake Balaton. Closing party.
Besides the active dancers and musicians, accompanying persons (sponsors, spouses, friends,
etc) are welcome to attend, for them, special touristic programmes are organized, at
reasonable cost.
Participation fee is charged, accommodation in double-rooms with private facilities, halfboard
(or – hopefully – full board, according to the financial circumstances) is provided.
