Notes in Music, Adults in Europe

The workshop idea was inspired by an analogy between harmony of different notes in a beautiful melody and cohabitation of different cultures of Europe. The participants are going to sing together, act together, work together and finally experience unified taste of intercultural exchange during the workshop.

One week long workshop will take place between 25/11/2012 and 01/12/2012  in Ankara. Our adult learners will separate into groups according to their abilities, wishes and interests and each group will perform a different folkloric dance belonging to a different region of Turkey. The participants will have a chance to show their own national or regional cultural and artistic traditions through workshop activities.

The workshop envisages thematic cultural visits to important spots of Ankara city and will be finalized by a folkloric dance performance of all groups in front of local audience.
