Irish Folk Theatre to Perform in U. S.
Siamsa Tire, the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, -will stage performances at nine centres
throughout the United States from October 31st through November 15th. Siamsa recaptures in music, song and dance the many facets of rural life in Ireland during the period when Irish was the spoken language. It is performed nightly during the summer months in Tralee, County Kerry.
Directed and devised by Father Pat Ahern, the three-act performance, with cast of twenty-five,
skilfully portrays traditional household and farm chores—churning the butter, plying the spinning
wheel, threshing the corn, milking the cows—and features Ireland’s many folk customs, blessings
and strange superstitions. All ends in a lively harvest festival dance. In bringing to life Ireland’s ancient culture in its many moods and merriment, Siamsa Tire offers the theatre lover unique and spectacular entertainment. More at

On 30 April this year, Riverdance celebrated its 30th birthday. In the months leading up to the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, held in the Point Theatre in Dublin, it’s unlikely that any of the dancers, singers or musicians envisaged that their seven-minute item would develop into a globally successful theatrical production.

CLOUDS: While identifying and photographing clouds may not sound like a highly useful contribution, it’s in fact an easy and beneficial way to contribute to scientific research. After all, explains Marilé Colón Robles, Project Scientist for NASA GLOBE Clouds, the puffy white masses hovering above your head play an important role in transferring and diffusing energy from the sun to different areas of the Earth and can signify a wide array of weather patterns and anomalies to come. But clouds can change rapidly, meaning frequent observations are required, including from citizen scientists who can (quite literally) help complete the atmospheric picture.
