  • Collecting Thoughts on Collectivity Det Ferösche Compagnie, Cph
    ! Collecting Thoughts on Collectivity Det Ferösche Compagnie, Cph. & Tórshavn #6! By: Ida-Elisabeth Larsen ! Months back, I think it was during the winter of 2013, Fanclub approached me upon receiving con- firmation that a Nordic tour of their latest production DEATH would be possible to schedule. They explained to me that they were concerned about the current culture of touring, which to them felt somewhat depleted – presenting work, but not having time to establish an understanding of the different contexts and cities visited under such circumstances. Fanclub was interested in doing something different – something that would in one way or another engage, or at least to some ex- tent make conversation, with the local communities of makers and audiences. So, with this in mind we worked together to develop a little side project called Collecting Thoughts on Collectivity. We imagined it manifesting itself through three different initiatives; a series of talks, a series of inter- views and a subsequent article. Firstly, the series of moderated talks – between Fanclub, myself, and whomever else would be interested in participating – would discuss openly the way Fanclub functioned as a collective and how they organised themselves in periods of producing stage works. Secondly, the series of interviews with local artist collectives discussing their works, methods, etc. And lastly, the formulation of a small article, which would further expand upon some of the ideas about collectivity discovered along the way. This is an excerpt from an interview done in June, 2014 with Kristina Sørensen Ougaard, a member of the Faroese collective Det Ferösche Compagnie. Even if most of the collective’s members are based outside of the Faroe Islands, their research into the Faroese saga’s and myths keeps them closely connected to what seems like a bigger collective movement, namely the local tradition of storytelling where everything and everyone is a potential player.

This pandemic has presented health, social, economic and pedagogi- cal challenges worldwide, which has included the cancellation or postponement of many events. This included the postponement of the 31st Symposium of the ICTM Study Group on Ethnochoreology, which was due to have taken place in July 2020 in Klaipeda, Lithuania, but on public health advice, the Executive Committee made the decision to postpone the symposium to July 2021. With the prospect of COVID-19 vaccines being rolled out in different countries in early 2021, delegates were offered the opportunity to present either face-to-face presentations at the symposium in Klaipėda in July 2021 or online presentations.

  • Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: an Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance
    Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: An Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance Chloe Elizabeth Middleton-Metcalfe MA, BA (Hons) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of PhD Department of Dance University of Roehampton 2021 1 Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020 CEMM Abstract This thesis is a genre-centred investigation of one dance form which is known by a variety of names including: barn dance, ceilidh, country dance, and (English) folk dance. A hitherto academically neglected dance genre, this thesis takes a mixed diachronic and synchronic approach to explain and contextualise the developments of English social folk dance from the mid-twentieth century. In so doing it contributes to an under-studied area of research: the experiences of occasional, or novice adult dancers. In order to answer the central question of ‘why do people hold English social folk dances?’ this thesis examines the genre’s recent history. The approach of Douglas Kennedy, head of the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) from 1924-1961 is examined. Consideration is given to the influence of other dance genres (in particular square dance and old time) on the formation of an English folk repertoire. The neo-traditionalist approach of the ceilidh movement in the 1970s and the quest for an English sound and dancing style is examined. Folk dance in English schools is charted, providing a counter- story to modern educational dance centred histories. The second half of this thesis utilises ethnographic fieldwork from thirty dance events (2017-2018), supplemented with interviews and questionnaire data.

  • Integrating Into the Faroese Society
    Integrating into the Faroese society A study of the cultural challenges for foreigners and how these challenges can be prevented Kirstin Joensen Master’s Thesis│MA in International Business Communication Academic Supervisor │ James Menzies Characters: 154007 (68 pages) 2015/08/12 Copenhagen Business School 2015 Resumé Denne afhandling undersøger de kulturelle udfordringer hos udlændinge, når de prøver at integrere i det færøske samfund, og hvordan disse kulturelle udfordringer kan forhindres. 14 udlændinge, der bor på Færøerne, er blevet interviewet for at finde frem til de kulturelle udfordringer, og hvordan de kan forhindres. Det teoretiske grundlag for denne afhandling fokuserer på kultur, kulturelle forskelle og interkulturel kommunikation. I afhandlingen er der fundet fem kulturelle udfordringer. Den første er udfordringen i at immigrere til Færøerne, som inkluderer, at den formelle immigrations proces tager for lang tid til at blive godtaget, og at det er svært at få svar på spørgsmål vedr. immigrationspapirer. Den næste er udfordringen i at tilpasse sig en ny kultur, som består af udfordringer vedr. det at opleve kulturelle forskelle og kultur chok. Den tredje er udfordringen af sproget som en barriere, og den fjerde er udfordringen i at finde et arbejde. Den femte og sidste er udfordringen i at socialisere med færinger. De tre sidste udgør en Catch 22 (en ond cirkel), som gør det svært at integrere i det færøske samfund, da det er svært at finde et arbejde og socialisere med færinger, hvis man ikke kan det færøske sprog. Desuden er der svært at lære det færøske sprog, hvis man ikke har et arbejde eller socialiserer med færinger.
