Exciting Blog 第１話：ヨーロッパ方面で流行ってる（リークされた？！）事

勝部です。
ついに、やっと、今頃になって、お待たせしましたのブロク、スタートです。
3月開幕のCIFJ2010に向けての、オーガナイザーからの日々の動きを皆さまにお届けします。
少し、内側からのフェスティバルの成長の様子を、垣間見て下さい。



今、ヨーロッパを中心に、ナタンニャを発信源に、以下のようなメールが飛び交ってます。（らしい）
こそばいような表現も含まれていますが、第1回のフェスティバルにも来てくれて、今回3度目の来日である彼女が、掛け値無く、日本の事を評価してくれているのが伝わります。とても嬉しいです。が、その代わり、正真正銘、良いフェスティバルにしなきゃ！と心地良い緊張感、プレッシャーを感じちょります。
頑張りますね〜！
英語の中に、ん？気になる、の部分がある人は、ご質問下さいませね。






Dear friends and colleagues,




through this mail I would like to bring your attention to the Contact Festival in Japan, which will be happening from march 14-28 this year.

I just heard that this will be the last time that Chico Katsube and Shoko Kashima will be organizing their festival.

So if you thought: "Yeah I heard about it but will go another year", it's time to see if there isn't a hole in your schedule this year!

Chico and Shoko are wonderful organizers and they bring to gather great East-Asian dancers and musicians.
And ofcourse dancing is always a nice way to arrive in a country and meet people and see places. This is certainly true for Japan!

The Japanese Yen hasn't been a strong currency the past years, so actually being in Japan is not nearly as expensive as we tend to think in the West.

On the website of the festival there is a lot of useful info about travel, cheap accommodation and things to do. There are for example Japanese style inns with dormitories, which are very ok. And there are abundant possibilities for eating out, some very cheap and wholesome.

The website is: http://www.geocities.jp/sholoverfg/festival/cn3/index.html

It would be great if you could pass this mail on through your network, to anyone you think might be interested!


Warmly,

Natanja den Boeft
