| Sydney plastunka Stefanie Kowal at Virsky Summer Dance Workshop | |
It was an adventure of a lifetime! An experience so inspiring and exciting, one i'll surely never forget. After two enduring weeks spent at the Virsky Summer Dance Workshop in Kyiv Ukraine, I have since returned to Australia with an eager desire to share my new-found dance knowledge, and to ensure the spirit of Ukrainian dance in this country continues to flourish. I was quick to disregard my overwhelming tiredness, as I arrived in Kyiv on July 13 with a desperate sense of curiosity to discover what was to lie ahead over the next 14 days. Being one of only two Australians attending the workshop, I was relieved to be warmly welcomed to Kyiv by a troop of Canadians- belonging to the ensemble "Dovbush", from Vancouver. In no time at all, I felt right at home, surrounded by a lovely group of people, who like me, were intending to develop their dance technique, and similarly, shared my enthusiasm for Ukrainian dance.
Day after day, despite our feet being left in a state of agony, the dancers were thrilled to have the offer to part-take in excursions around the city of Kyiv. A trip to the Pecherska Lavra and a boat ride down the Dniper river, were just two unforgettable experiences, not to mention travelling to Lviv on the weekend as a surprise treat.
Sadly, it wasn't too long before the two weeks were coming to a close. The improvement amongst us was remarkable! It was incredible to see how far each and every dancer had come, we now looked like professionals. The two weeks were concluded with a final "examination" performance; a showcase of newly acquired repertoire and technique. It had been an emotional journey, and to top it off, I would be celebrating the end of the workshop on my 20th birthday. With great pleasure, I'd like to the thank VESELKA Ukrainian Dance Ensemble of Sydney, PLAST Sydney, Karpaty Foundation and the Ukrainian Studies Foundation in Australia for their generous sponsorships; without their contributions, my trip to the Virsky Summer Dance School would not have been possible. I would also like to thank Slawko Iwanec for organising the finer details, in ensuring my trip ran smoothly. My trip to Kyiv 2013 has certainly influenced my life. It was such an honour to dance in the presence of Ukraine's finest mentors of the P. Virsky Ukrainian National Folk Dance Ensemble . The experience allowed me to connect to my Ukrainian heritage and appreciate the true genius behind Ukrainian folk dance; inspiring me to keep the Ukrainian culture and spirit alive in Australia. | |

On Saturday the 14th of September, novachky Natasha Popovych, Nadia Sapun and Ola Sapun tried out their stunt-kite skills during a прогулка to South Bank. The novachky - and their vyhovnyky - successfully didn't take out any seagulls or many pink bunny statues with rogue dive-bombing kites. After a picnic lunch and games, we read poshta from Ukraine and chose postcards for their new 'pen-[po]druhy' in Novoyavorivsk. With iceblocks and spiv, they headed back to the domivka for their final zbirka and molytva before the school holidays. (Thanks to Maryna Jolly for sharing her photos, and helping launch the Blue Delta!) - ст. пл. Томас Мілєновіч
