UPDATE Céilí Camp 2009
Why has Céilí Camp Changed its format this year?
There have been many times over the past few months where Céilí Camp 2009 has come close to being cancelled, but due to the overwhelming support and dedication of our growing Céilí Camp community, and to Irish culture, we are able to continue.
With the increasing popularity of Irish culture world-wide, the Irish Dancing Commission has the ever more challenging job of implementing and managing rules that will allow Irish dancing, specifically with regard to competitions, to be enjoyed fairly by everyone. Most recently, in an attempt to keep the adjudication system fair, the Commission has made a series of changes to the rules governing open workshops, adjudication, and the association of schools.
Céilí Camp has been wound up in this red tape and is still in the process of getting things sorted. Drastic changes have been made to our activities for 2009 to comply with Commission regulations. The Irish dancing classes component has been removed and everyone is very excited and looking forward to changing the focus to working towards the production of “Céilí: An Seó” – Céilí: The Show.
What does Céilí Camp look like this year?
Céilí: An Seó – Céilí: The Show is a collaborative effort between Céilí Camp’s Director, Leslie Wilson, and its choreographers, dancers and musicians led by:
Choreographer – Jean Butler, dance
Choreographer and Musician – Joel Hanna, dance and bodhrán
Musician – Martin Nolan, whistle and pipes
Musician – Craig McGregor, guitar
Musician – Meredith Coloma, fiddle
To round out our cultural experience and cross-training practice, Céilí Camp is pleased to offer classes in the following:
Conditioning & Ballet – Charlene Hart
Gaelic Games – John O’Flynn
To purchase tickets to Ceili: An Seó phone 778 288-5695
