(Sun 28 Apr: 11am - PRE-SALE SOLD OUT) A big hoolie for all the family called by Caroline Brockbank of CeilidhKids, the trad dance artist-in-residence at Abbeyhill Primary School and accompanied on the accordion by Bernie Hewitt. ~~~~~ Join us for the first-ever Pomegranates Family Sunday, celebrating world trad dance. The day is packed with a lot of wee trad dance shows by and for the bairns, as well as a ceilidh expertly called for all the family accompanied by live music. "Ever since we launched Pomegranates festival in April 2022 we wanted to sow the pomegranate seeds of Scottish and world traditional dance in the hearts and minds of the new generation of dancers, especially after the pandemic when dance provision was badly affected. This Family Sunday celebrates our efforts to make trad dance one of the primary ingredients of the primary education of our children. We do hope to extend the residency opportunities for Scottish and world trad dance artists beyond the primary schools of Edinburgh and the Lothians and make them an essential part of the curriculum." (Iliyana Nedkova and Wendy Timmons, Pomegranates co-curators) Established in 2022, Pomegranates is Scotland’s annual festival of international dance. Initiated and produced by Traditional Dance Forum of Scotland in partnership with Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland, Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh City Libraries, Dance Base and the Scottish Storytelling Centre. This year, the festival features artists’ residencies and social dance sessions, exhibitions and tours, shows and workshops, plus our first Pomegranates Family Sunday.
