CLOG AMERICA TO REPRESENT THE USA IN ISTANBUL, TURKEY AND ATHENS, GREECE

dhwoolsey — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:41:32 +0000

CLOG AMERICA, the International Festival Ensemble from South Jordan, Utah, has received an invitation to represent the USA at two prestigious folklore festivals in Istanbul, Turkey designated as the “2010 European Capital of Culture”. The group’s 22 dancers and 8 musicians will participate in the “5^th International Kucukcekmece Lake Festival” from July 8-17 and the “10^th International Yesilkoy folk Dance Festival” from July 15-20, 2010. CLOG AMERICA will join 19 other international ensembles from around the world for festival celebrations viewed by audiences estimated to be over 65,000 people with extensive press and media coverage.

Prior to arriving in Turkey, CLOG AMERICA will travel to Athens, Greece where the group will help promote American Arts in Greece by partnering with the Institute for Critical and Creative Thinking and Arts Center at ACS Athens. On July 6, the dancers and musicians will present an assembly for dance students from outside the school community who are attending the school’s summer program and have had little or no exposure to American folklore traditions. The ensemble will then present a concert for the Athens community which will also be a fund-raising event for the ACS Student Project of rebuilding a village school destroyed in the devastating fires near Athens 3 years ago. CLOG AMERICA will incorporate this fund-raising opportunity as part of their annual Humanitaria Project.

This year’s Humanitarian Project will also include a Bakırköy Municipality Rehabilitation and Therapy Centre in Istanbul for children diagnosed with Mental Retardation in Motor Skills, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Autism, Asperser Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Attention Deficiency Hyperactivity Syndrome Cerebral Palsy and Behavioral Disorders.

Donations to the CLOG AMERICA Humanitarian Projects in Athens or Istanbul can be made through this website.

The Utah group has represented the USA in 55 International Festivals throughout the world since 1991 and was designated by the Utah State Legislature as “Utah’s Ambassadors of Peace and Friendship to the World.”
