  • Eye Juggling: a Methodology for Interpreting Stories
    Eye Juggling: A Methodology for Interpreting Stories Eye Juggling Outline With modifications and additions, as an excerpt from: Rodney Frey. 1995. Eye Juggling: Seeing the World Through a Looking Glass and a Glass Pane. University Press of America: London, and other sources. The Eye Juggler There is an old man, with long, black braids. He stands there, beside that tall cedar tree, singing a song. As he sings that song, what should happen..., his eyes pop out of his head. He continues singing that song and his eyes go up the side of the tree to the top branch. There those eyes look to the east. Then they turn and look to the south. The old man with empty sockets in his head continues that song. From the top of the tree the eyes look to the west. And then the eyes turn once more and look to the north, the fourth direction. As the old man with long, black braids sings that song, who should come along the path there but Coyote, down on his luck. He sees the old man standing there and decides to pay him a visit. He's been out there in those hills a long time. But as Coyote gets a little closer he realizes that there is something odd about this old man. He's seen some strange things out there in those hills but nothing like this. The old man is singing his eyes to the sky! Now Coyote, who's been down on his luck, realizes a good thing when he sees it.

He imagined it looked like haole blood. But it wasn't his or anyone else's. He'd struggled all his life to avoid being labeled a haole. He knew everybody's blood was the same color, though it looked like it could've been spilled from a white man's veins. But the machine didn't bleed, it leaked. Taylor squinted up at the greasy stainless-steel mast of the stand-up fork lift. His forearm shielded his eyes from the drips but blocked his vision, and he brushed the graying blonde strands off his forehead. A tightly banded braid kept his shoulder-length hair from sticking in his moustache and beard like velcro. He rolled his tight neck muscles, shrugged his husky shoulders and stepped out of the machine to get away from the harsh glare of the big halogen light. He figured it must be that hose clamp again.

  • JUNE 2 - 3, 2018 CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL Programme Guide
    JUNE 2 - 3, 2018 CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL programme guide CALGARYUKRAINIANFESTIVAL.CA CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL 2018! On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Calgary Ukrainian Festival Foundation I would like to welcome you to the NINTH Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival! Only one year away from a full decade of Festival activities! The momentum continues this year with an entirely new stage show format with even more performers than last. Have a look around at our collection of Ukrainian vendors from across the country. They bring everything from the latest Ukrainian European fashion trends to collectible “hard to find” Ukrainian artistry. Keep looking around the pavilion and take note of our new bar modeled after an 18th century Ukrainian house with thatch roofing. Imagine what it was like to raise a family in such a simple structure! Sitting at “Baba’s” kitchen table is a treat like nothing else. Enjoying the simplicity and tasteful helpings of traditional hand-made perogies and cabbage rolls. Nothing “store bought” on our Festival food plates. Finally, our Festival After-Hours event returns Saturday evening at 9:00pm. Open to all. Our performers will be out of their stage costumes and back into street clothes. Come spend the evening with those you saw on stage and meet a new friend. This year our live Ukrainian Zabava Band from Edmonton, Steppe, will play everything from the fastest polkas, to the coziest waltz. But don’t leave before 10:30pm because around that time you will witness the infamous Canadian Ukrainian tradition of the “Kolomyka”. The chance for ALL to display the best they have in Ukrainian dance solos.

  • Dancing Through the City and Beyond: Lives, Movements and Performances in a Romanian Urban Folk Ensemble
    Dancing through the city and beyond: Lives, movements and performances in a Romanian urban folk ensemble Submitted to University College London (UCL) School of Slavonic and East European Studies In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) By Elizabeth Sara Mellish 2013 1 I, Elizabeth Sara Mellish, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the lives, movements and performances of dancers in a Romanian urban folk ensemble from an anthropological perspective. Drawing on an extended period of fieldwork in the Romanian city of Timi şoara, it gives an inside view of participation in organised cultural performances involving a local way of moving, in an area with an on-going interest in local and regional identity. It proposes that twenty- first century regional identities in southeastern Europe and beyond, can be manifested through participation in performances of local dance, music and song and by doing so, it reveals that the experiences of dancers has the potential to uncover deeper understandings of contemporary socio-political changes. This micro-study of collective behaviour, dance knowledge acquisition and performance training of ensemble dancers in Timi şoara enhances the understanding of the culture of dance and dancers within similar ensembles and dance groups in other locations. Through an investigation of the micro aspects of dancers’ lives, both on stage in the front region, and off stage in the back region, it explores connections between local dance performances, their participants, and locality and the city.

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed. By touring together, Linkin Park & Busta are taking a cue from the chorus of their song: “…we took it on the road…”. As recently pointed out in Rolling Stone’s “Summer Tour Guide,” the tour will see nine acts joining rock superstars Linkin Park, who are also offering concertgoers a digital souvenir pack that includes a recording of the band’s entire set. As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.
