From the East to the West will take place in Dublin, from the 5th - 7th of December. It consists of a series of events that will demonstrate common themes in traditional music and dance practices from the Eastern Mediterranean and the Celtic World. Interesting themes that will be explored are songs and circle dances, immigration, or carnivalesque.

The project will provide three separate masterclasses introducing tradition to dancers/instructors, visual/audio artists and musicians through a holistic approach, which will offer a forum to compare and exchange experiences, and also to foster creative practices.
