It may be a lonely road, but it is where you will find your truest self—away from the noise of the world—peace carved to reflect, redefine, and grow. You must embrace a journey that diverges from conventional routes, requiring a willingness to step into the unknown. It is about seeking unique experiences, following intuition, and finding new perspectives undefined by societal expectations.

Under the direction of Alexandra Bodnarchuk, Doma Dance Theater creates dance works for the stage and screen that explore the body as a tangible site of culture. Doma, the Carpatho-Rusyn word for “at home,” cultivates a sense of belonging, curiosity, and exuberant self-expression for its performers and audiences. Doma's cross-cultural approach creates powerful contemporary dance works that examine shared experiences of diaspora and displacement. Informed by Bodnarchuk's pan-Slavic cultural upbringing in Pittsburgh, PA, Doma's work incorporates cultural influences, circular spatial patterning, and intimate partnering. As the first Carpatho-Rusyn American choreographer to make contemporary work with a folk lens, Doma's works blaze a trail for Slavic representation in contemporary dance, demonstrating the enduring necessity of unearthing the cultural legacies each of us carry.Founded in 2024, Doma represents an evolution of Alexandra Bodnarchuk Dance Projects (ABDP), founded in 2017. Building upon Bodnarchuk's past focus on body identity and societal expectations of womanhood, Doma continues to unfold the embodied experience in an ongoing search for the elusive feeling of home.Doma'a inaugural season includes performances at Candy Box Dance Festival, and Thistle & Rose at Celtic Junction. For more information visit domadancetheater.org or follow them on Instagram @domadancetheater. Doma Dance Theater's new work for the 2025 Candy Box Dance Festival is set against an aural backdrop of Carpatho-Rusyn folk songs from the Šambron and Poloniny regions of Eastern Slovakia. Featuring dancers Alexandra Bodnarchuk, Non Edwards, Odessa Rain, and Yukina Sato accompanied by Mila Vocal Ensemble, the women weave in and around each other in syncopated harmony.

Fyrir nokkrum árum síðan varð myndlistarkonan Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir vör við fjölgun flóttamanna í heimabæ sínum, Hafnarfirði. Hún tók líka eftir því að þar var fátt sem greip fólkið og ákvað að hafa frumkvæði að því að búa til vettvang þar sem fólk með ólíkan bakgrunn hefði tækifæri til þess að kynnast og taka þátt í samfélaginu. Úr varð fjölbreytt starf með reglulegum listasmiðjum, viðburðum og samverustundum og stofnun hjálparsamtakanna GETU, sem styður við flóttafólk og umsækjendur um alþjóðlega vernd í Hafnarfirði, Kópavogi og nágrenni.

Við lítum við á vinnustofu þeirra í hafnarfirði og heyrum af viðburðinum og samstarfinu. Sinfóníuhljómsveit unga fólksins var stofnuð fyrir 20 árum og heldur upp á það með tvennum tónleikum í Langholtskirkju um helgina.

Nýja íslenska bíómyndin Eftirleikir var í 8 ár í bígerð. Við hittum leikstjóra myndarinnar, sem er lýst sem ógnartrylli, Ólaf Árheim. Sviðslista- og danshátíðin Reykjavík Dance Festival er hafin. Við kíkjum í Iðnó á norska svartmetalhljómsveit, sem er að fara að troða upp í kvöld, Witch Club Satan.

Reykjavík Dans Festival hefst með pompi og prakt á morgun, miðvikudag, og stendur yfir fram á sunnudag. Hátíðin var stofnuð árið 2002 og hefur fyrir löngu fest sig í sessi sem einn af hápunktum menningarársins. Síðastliðin ár hefur reykjavík dance festival tengt sig við Lókal svo úr hefur orðið ein allsherjar sviðlistahátíð. Við tökum forsmekk á sæluna í þætti dagsins sem verður undirlagður undir dans. Listdans á sér rúmlega hundrað ára sögu á Íslandi, og nú gefst unnendum og áhugasömum tækifæri til að lesa um sögu danslistarinnar í glænýrri og veglegri bók sem ber titilinn Listdans á Íslandi. Þar rekur Ingibjörg Björnsdóttir, dansari, danshöfundur og sagnfræðingur, sögu þeirra sem ruddu braut listdansins hér á landi á síðustu öld og segir frá stofnun og starfsemi Listdansskóla Þjóðleikhússins. Saga Íslenska dansflokksins, barátta hans, andstreymi og sigrar, er síðan meginefni bókarinnar. Ingibjörg segir söguna af innsæi og þekkingu, enda sjálf þátttakandi í sögu danslistar á Íslandi í sjötíu ár, og hún lítur við í hljóðstofu í lok þáttar. Við hugum líka að tveimur nýjum dansverkum sem frumsýnd verða á hátíðinni, When a duck turns 18 a boy will eat her, eftir Birtu Ásmundsdóttur og Eitthvað um skýin, eftir Ólöfu Ingólfsdóttur. Birta rannsakar mörk kvenleikans með hjálp anda. Hugmyndin kviknaði í París, þar sem Birta, á ferð sinni ein um götur borgarinnar, upplifði hvernig karlmenn horfðu á hana á annan hátt en á Íslandi, og hvað það gat verið þreytandi. Í verkinu Eitthvað um skýin veltir Ólöf Ingólfsdóttir fyrir sér eðli og fjölbreytileika tilfinninga, sem svífa um vitundina og eins og ský yfir himininn. Verkið fléttar saman barokksöng og samtímadansi og markmiðið er að sögn höfundar að heiðra tilfinningar í öllum sínum myndum. Umsjón: Halla Harðardóttir og Melkorka Ólafsdóttir

The World of Music, Arts and Dance Festival has all the ingredients for a good time – food, dancing, arts, and an incredible line-up of local and international artists. English/Kiwi rock band The Veils were announced this week in the first line-up of acts to headline next year's WOMAD festival. The enigmatic indie band have a reputation for their intense live performances, and they'll be teaming up with a few classical musicians for their performance at the festival. Frontman Finn Andrews told Jack Tame that it'll be a “pretty raucous affair”. He said that working with classical musicians gives them the option to lean into the extremes. “It kinda just intensifies that even more. I think it's gonna be really full on and really quiet and intimate as well.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

more:fluentfiction.org/the-journey-of-the-wrong-tram-uncovering-the-magic-of-budapests-folk-dance-festival Story Transcript:Hu: József valójában nem is szeretett utazni.En: József never actually liked traveling.Hu: Szeretett a tuti, a megszokott dolgokban hinni.En: He preferred believing in the secure and familiar things.Hu: Az otthona, a munkahelye és a két hely közötti 47-es villamos megszokott és rutin lett számára.En: His home, his workplace, and the 47 tram between the two became familiar and routine for him.Hu: Azon a napon azonban József rossz villamosra szállt.En: However, on that day, József boarded the wrong tram.Hu: A Dózsa György úton kacskaringózó 14-esen találta magát.En: He found himself on the 14 tram that zigzagged on Dózsa György út.Hu: Szállingózó hóban keresztül sodródtak Budapest utcáin.En: They drifted through the streets of Budapest in falling snow.Hu: A villamos a városligeti Műjég pálya megállónál állt meg.En: The tram stopped at the Műjég ice rink in Városliget.Hu: Távolról zene szólt, és áradt belőle az élet.En: Music played from afar, and life flowed from it.Hu: József érezte a ritmust, amint csöppnyi szívét belengte a pezsgő, élettel teli energia.En: József felt the rhythm as his little heart resonated with the vibrant, energetic atmosphere.Hu: Kíváncsiság hajtotta, hogy felfedje, mi rejtezik a zene forrása mögött.En: Curiosity drove him to discover what lay behind the source of the music.Hu: Belépett a városligeti Műcsarnokba, ahol a zene szólt.En: He entered the Műcsarnok in Városliget, where the music was coming from.Hu: Hatalmas hangversenyt talált, néptáncosokkal és zenészekkel.En: He found a grand concert with folk dancers and musicians.Hu: József szeme megakadt egy elfeledett délutánon a földön hagyott, hatalmas néptánc csizmán.En: József's eyes caught sight of a pair of forgotten, large folk dance boots left on the ground one afternoon.Hu: Leült a székre és kilátása nyílt az egész helyszínre.En: He sat down and had a view of the entire scene.Hu: Bámulattal nézte a néptáncosok mozgását, ahogy könnyedén léptek a parketten.En: He watched in awe as the folk dancers moved gracefully on the dance floor.Hu: A feldobott vzsgálódások közepette József meglepődve vette észre, hogy a táncmesterekől az egyik odalépett hozzá.En: In the midst of his contemplation, József was surprised to see one of the dance instructors approaching him.Hu: Felajánlotta a színpadon a főszereplő helyét.En: They offered him the leading role on stage.Hu: József nem gondolkodott sokat, felállt és a színpadon találta magát.En: József didn't think much, he stood up and found himself on stage.Hu: Először rémült volt, de aztán valami különös és ritka belső erőt érzett magában.En: At first, he was frightened, but then he felt something peculiar and rare within him.Hu: Kezeit a mellkasára tette, lábait szélesre tárta, és hozzákezdett.En: He placed his hands on his chest, spread his legs wide, and began.Hu: Nem tudta, mit csinál, de a zene hajtotta.En: He didn't know what he was doing, but the music drove him.Hu: Néptáncosok és a közönség ujjongásukkal biztatása közepette, a meghökkent József valahogy végigvitt egy hihetetlen néptáncot.En: Encouraged by the cheers of the folk dancers and the audience, the bewildered József somehow performed an incredible folk dance.Hu: A színpadon megvoltak a boldogság, a vég nélküli vidámság és az őszinte öröm pillanatai.En: On stage, he experienced moments of happiness, endless joy, and genuine delight.Hu: Mikor végül a zene elcsendesedett, József felkapott levébe esett, elgyötört, de boldog.En: When the music finally quieted down, József was breathless and exhausted but happy.Hu: A közönség hatalmas tapsviharban tört ki.En: The audience erupted in thunderous applause.Hu: Új barátai körében ünnepelték, mint a nap sztárját, akinek még néptánc lépést sem tudott.En: Among his new friends, they celebrated him as the star of the day, even though he didn't know a single folk dance step.Hu: A nap, amely úgy kezdődött, hogy József rossz villamosra szállt, zártkörű, pezsgő, ünnepi magyar néptáncfesztivállal ért véget.En: The day that started with József boarding the wrong tram ended with an exclusive, lively, festive Hungarian folk dance festival.Hu: Budapest, a város, amit korábban csak munkahelyének tekintett, most az ő színházává vált.En: Budapest, the city he used to only view as his workplace, now became his theater.Hu: Végezetül József hazatért a saját járata, a 47-es villamosra, amelyik most nemcsak a munkahelyéhez, de egy új, kalandos életéhez is elvezetett.En: Finally, József returned to his usual route, the 47 tram, which now led him not only to his workplace but also to a new adventurous life.Hu: Azóta József sokkal nyitottabb lett a váratlan eseményekre, és rájött, hogy a legnagyobb kalandok néha a legváratlanabb helyeken kezdődhetnek.En: Since then, József has become much more open to unexpected events and has realized that the greatest adventures sometimes begin in the most unexpected places.
