Let’s dance!
Join the Balfolk dance workshops led by Emelie Manawa. While the upper class used to dance dull waltzes in the old days, the lower class knew how to throw a more exciting dance party. They danced their own unique style of dances, now known as Balfolk.
Experience the fun of these dances, which have brought people together for centuries. No dancing experience required - all are welcome, from farmers to princesses, trolls to fairies!

The workshops will be accompanied by the music of Bert Leemans. You may know him from his performances with the balfolk group EmBRUN.

In deze lezing vertelt Annabella van Wortel & Cruydt over de runen van het Oude Futhark en hoe ze voor haar zijn gaan leven. Hoe ze los kwamen van enkel de boekenwijsheid en historische overlevering. Leer dat runen een gevoel voor humor hebben, je keihard de waarheid kunnen zeggen, en een fantastische tool zijn om jezelf, je onderbewuste en je wereld te ontdekken.

Annabella neemt je mee op reis op het Pad van de Runen, en brengt hun wereld tot leven voor je!

Deze lezing wordt in het Nederlands gegeven in de Castlefest Academy. Meer info: bit.ly/CF24runen

DE KOOI [the cage] has been around for more than a thousand years. No one remembers where it was first organised and who really pulls the strings behind the scenes. The fights are a showdown without firearms. Contestants enter with blank weapons and, if they possess them, magic and special powers.

Which fighter will fight his way through three rounds and may call themselves winner of DE KOOI for an entire year? Come and find out in the Arena: bit.ly/CF24DEKOOI

Google staat er vol mee: Keltische Godinnen.

Van koningin Medb, die we uit de middeleeuws Ierse literatuur kennen, tot de Welshe Rhiannon uit de Mabinogi verhalen, en de Sheela-na-Gigs die we gebeeldhouwd vinden in Romaanse kerken.

Dit veelvoud aan godinnen, sterk geassocieerd met een Keltische achtergrond, wordt vaak aangegrepen om te beargumenteren dat voorchristelijke Keltische culturen een vrouwvriendelijkere insteek hadden dan het Christendom dat erop volgde. Maar is het wel zo feministisch om al deze verschillende vrouwfiguren het stempel godin te geven? En is het überhaupt wel terecht?

In deze lezing door dr. Nike Stam kijken we naar een aantal van deze figuren, naar wat we van hen weten, en naar de mogelijke implicaties van de stempel ‘Godin’ voor hoe we hen zien.
