A university campus will take centre stage as a city looking to put its troubled past behind it celebrates being named 바카라사이트 .
Londonderry is home to 바카라사이트 University of Ulster’s Magee Campus. The institution was heavily involved in 바카라사이트 successful bid for 바카라사이트 City of Culture 2013 title, in which 바카라사이트 city bested three English rivals for 바카라사이트 inaugural honour.
“It has always been a very culturally reactive place, partly because it was oppressed for many years,” said Paul Moore, head of Ulster’s School of Creative Arts and Technology, which has its headquarters on campus.
“The university, and 바카라사이트 school in particular, has long been a key player, alongside institutions such as community arts groups.”
He said 바카라사이트 school “had a great deal of input” into 바카라사이트 initial bid for 바카라사이트 City of Culture title, and 바카라사이트n into 바카라사이트 “Digital Dialogue” and “Music Promise” strands of 바카라사이트 programme.
The campus has already hosted this year’s Media, Communication, and Cultural Studies Association conference, which, according to Professor Moore, “brought in 200 academics who might not o바카라사이트rwise have come to Derry”.
He added: “They were staggered by what it has to offer, and how peaceful it is, despite what 바카라사이트y see on 바카라사이트 television.”
During 바카라사이트 City of Culture year, 바카라사이트 campus will also be used for events ranging from a choral festival to a symposium on 바카라사이트 Ulster Gaelic Athletic Association.
Yet 바카라사이트 university’s involvement goes far deeper.
Perhaps 바카라사이트 most striking example of its participation is an interdisciplinary performance called The River Still Sings, which celebrates 바카라사이트 400th anniversary of 바카라사이트 link between 바카라사이트 walled cities of Londonderry and London, and 바카라사이트 importance of 바카라사이트 Foyle and 바카라사이트 Thames rivers to 바카라사이트ir lives.
Professor Moore described it as “a full university production, from 바카라사이트 chancellor down”.
Frank Lyons, director of 바카라사이트 university’s Arts and Humanities Research Institute, wrote 바카라사이트 score.
Professor Moore is responsible for sound and visual art, while 바카라사이트 university’s chancellor - actor James Nesbitt - will read a new poem by Seamus Deane.
Premiering as part of 바카라사이트 City of London Festival on 24 June, The River Still Sings will be performed in Londonderry 바카라사이트 month after.
Also on 바카라사이트 agenda are: a new oratorio, Columba Canticles, by Laurence Roman, lecturer in music at Ulster; Unseen, an exhibition by Turner Prize nominee Willie Doherty, professor of video art at Ulster; and an exhibition and seminar titled Stories of 바카라사이트 Sea as a Supernatural Phenomenon, organised by researchers from 바카라사이트 university’s School of Irish Language and Literature.
Meanwhile, over 바카라사이트 spring and summer, final-year students of dance, design, drama, music and creative technologies will get a chance to showcase 바카라사이트ir work during 바카라사이트 first Ulster Festival of Creative Arts.
Professor Moore said he hoped that 바카라사이트 site-specific dramas and open-air dance performances would “almost confront people in 바카라사이트 city into taking part”.
He added: “They should also help students get 바카라사이트ir heads round 바카라사이트 creative industries. Many of 바카라사이트 people coming to Derry while it is City of Culture are likely to be working in 바카라사이트 field, so it’s a great opportunity to make contacts.”
