Broadway Philadelphia Presents the Legendary Dance and Music Spectacle Returns to Kimmel Center's Academy of Music As Part Of Tweet it! .@Riverdance returns to Philly June 14-19, celebrating 20 years of the global phenomenon with new costumes, lighting, and a new number! Press Contact: Amanda Conte (215) 790-5847 [email protected] BROADWAY PHILADELPHIA PRESENTS THE LEGENDARY DANCE AND MUSIC SPECTACLE RETURNS TO KIMMEL CENTER’S ACADEMY OF MUSIC AS PART OF 20TH ANNIVERSARY WORLD TOUR JUNE 14–19, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, May 23, 2016) — Broadway Philadelphia presents the triumphant return of Riverdance – The 20th Anniversary World Tour to the Academy of Music, June 14 – 19, 2016. This tour of Riverdance celebrates the rich history of the legendary production featuring new costumes, lighting, projections, and a brand new number – Anna Livia, featuring the female members of the Irish dance troupe in an a capella hard-shoe number. “For the past twenty years, Riverdance has been treasured by audiences around the world and we are proud to celebrate this milestone in Philadelphia,” said Ed Cambron, Executive Vice President of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “Whether this is an audience member’s first time seeing Riverdance or their 20th, this is sure to be an unforgettable experience.” Riverdance – The 20th Anniversary World Tour is an innovative and exciting blend of dance, music, and song. Drawing on Irish traditions, the combined talents of the performers propel Irish dancing and music into the present day, capturing the imagination of audiences across all ages and cultures. The production features set design by Robert Ballagh, lighting design by John Comiskey, costume design by Joan Bergin, and sound design by Michael O’Gorman. For more than 20 years, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance. Riverdance began its journey as the interval act in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, produced for television by Moya Doherty. This electrifying and innovative seven-minute dance piece was then developed into a full-length stage show by producer Moya Doherty, composer Bill Whelan, and director John McColgan. With its fusion of Irish and international music and dance, the show broke all box office records during its World Premiere run in Dublin in early 1995. When the show transferred to London in June of that year, the reaction was unprecedented, with the original 10 performances being increased to 151 in subsequent months. There followed a hugely successful tour starting in New York in March 1996, where eight sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall heralded the start of 16 years of non-stop touring by Riverdance companies throughout North America. Since its inception, Riverdance has packed theatres throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and most recently South America. Facts about 20 years of Riverdance: Played 11,000 performances Seen live by over 25 million people in over 465 venues worldwide Played in 46 countries across 6 continents Travelled 700,000 miles (or to the moon and back and back again!) Played to a global television audience of 3 billion people Sold over 3 million copies of the Grammy Award-winning CD Sold 10 million Riverdance videos & DVDs For more information, please visit www.riverdance.com/usa.

We’re looking for students who have already made a significant commitment to their studies, and who could use some help to get to the next level. It may be that students are ready to improve their skills (like fiddler and teacher Mary Vanorny who used her grant to study Sligo-style fiddling with Brian Conway at the Portal Irish Music Week) or it may be a student who wants to attend a special class (like Irish dancer Annie Wier who traveled to Boston for the Riverdance Academy). These are examples of great reasons to apply for an IMDA Educational Grant – as these students did in 2017. 2018 will be the twelfth year of this program, with help extended to 43 musicians, dancers, language students and artists over the years. The applicant may use the grant in any way that furthers his or her study – help with the purchase of an instrument, tuition to a workshop or class, travel expenses – the options are endless.

  • CCN-BALLET DE LORRAINE Thu, Feb 16, 7:30 Pm Carlson Family Stage
    2016 // 17 SEASON Northrop and Walker Art Center Present CCN-BALLET DE LORRAINE Thu, Feb 16, 7:30 pm Carlson Family Stage Devoted Fabrications Sounddance Dear Friends of Northrop, Northrop at the University of Minnesota and Walker Art Center Present Tonight, we collaborate with Walker Art Center as part of their major survey: Merce Cunningham: Common Time, offering two of Cunningham’s groundbreaking choreographic works. The program begins with Devoted, a commissioned work by the trend setting choreographic duo Cecilia Bengolea and François Chaignaud. Infused with current dance hall and pop culture, CCN-BALLET DE these French choreographers are clearly influenced by modern and even post-modern American dance history—history that was forever changed by Cunningham's impact. LORRAINE Fabrications, the second work on our program, actually had its world premiere right here at Northrop in 1987, with Cunningham dancing, as he did in every performance by his company until he was 70. When he died a few months after his 90th birthday, he Choreographer and General Director had won every choreographic award and accolade imaginable, PETTER JACOBSSON Christine Tschida. Photo by Tim Rummelhoff. and left a legacy of nearly 200 works. It’s interesting to think about the audience who sat here at Northrop 30 years ago, and their world. Choreographer and Coordinator of Research Ronald Reagan was in his second term in the White House and had just struggled through a government THOMAS CALEY shutdown. News of the Iran-Contra Scandal had recently broken. Mad Cow Disease was discovered in the U.K., and the Minnesota Twins would go on to win their first World Series later that year.

    Riverdance as Music Adrian Scahill Riverdance: Representing Irish Traditional Music As the archetypal example of the globalization and commodification of Ireland and Irish culture, 1 Riverdance can justly be described as one of the emblems for the now rapidly fading Celtic Tiger. 2 The show also was arguably one of the pri - mary catalysts in the transformation of Irish traditional music from a primar - ily geographically (and ethnically) situated music into what Mark Slobin has described as an “affinity interculture.” 3 Now, participation in the music is gov - erned by choice, and the possibility of “becoming Irish music” is open to all. 4 This connection between the show and the tradition has been utilized and emphasized in a range of contexts, from tourist promotional literature 5 to aca - demic course descriptions and writing. 6 The link with tradition has also been adverted to by its composer Bill Whelan himself. 7 In the show’s promotional material, Sam Smyth’s description of Riverdance as a “two-hour celebration of traditional music and dance” appears to conflate the two. 8 In the same vein, Fin - tan O’Toole has noted that what “made Riverdance so exhilarating was the 1.
