Kalászi Contemporary Dance Meeting celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , .

The Kalászi Contemporary Dance Meeting will celebrate its 20th anniversary in the last week of January. The festival, which will take place between January 28th and 31st, is organized by Duna Táncműhely, who this time also invited contemporary dance performances for children and adults based on “traditional” movement forms to the stage of the Budakalász Village Hall.

The roots of the Kalászi Contemporary Dance Meeting go back to the Duna Táncműhely company,
since the Kós Károly Cultural Center/Kalász Village Hall in Budakalás
has regularly hosted its experimental performances since its inception, and over the years, there has been an increasing demand for the audience to see other contemporary dance performances at the Village Hall.

The Kalászi Contemporary Dance Meeting has gradually gained regional significance, as it undertakes the concentrated presentation of contemporary dance works in a unique way in the Szentendre micro-region, serving the audience’s demand for modern dance.

Xmas festive preparations @ the Ethnographic Museum Budapest.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

Xmas is inseparable from traditions. The Ethnographic Museum works all year round, and especially during the holiday season, to bring the present into contact with the past, science with teaching, and cultures and generations into dialogue with each other.

In connection with the festive preparations, the museum’s online platforms pay special attention to the traditional world of the winter holidays: customs, stories and inspirations help to see how they can be incorporated into today’s everyday life. It is also worth trying the museum’s Motif Creator application, with which you can create unique motifs – even as the basis for personal gifts. It is also a great way to spend time browsing through holiday-related objects and photos in the renewed collection database or visiting the Etnotube channel, where we can deepen our knowledge of Xmas traditions through archive films or recently recorded interviews.
