Additional info: The seminar will be held in Pieria (the land of the ancient Thracian tribe ‘Pieres’ and the Muses), on the flanks of Mount Olympus, the mythological residence of the ancient Greek pantheon, and close to the coasts of the blue Aegean Sea.

The seminar will take place from 17 to 26th August 2012, when most traditional feasts (‘glendia’ or ‘panegyria’) take place in the area, as well as famous festivals of traditional ‘gaida’ (bagpipe), and ancient Greek drama festivals in the theatre of Dion, the sacred town of the ancient Macedonians.

The seminar program will offer courses of traditional Greek dances and customs, including women’s ritual dances, from different regions (Pontus, Black Sea, Serres, Drama, Pieria and Olympus) as well as lessons in traditional Greek culture, philosophy, language, music and singing from well-known teachers, researchers and musicians (Yvonne Hunt, Laura Shannon, Giorgos Pavlos, Kostas Nikolaidis, Katerina Asteriou-Kavazi, Vassilis Komatas, Panayotis Pagonidis, Vassilis Gerovasileiou, Lefteris Pavlou, Yannis Kakaras, Panayotis Pavlos, Panos Zikidis).
