SPEAKING OF PICTURES … Teen-Age Ballet Was Inspired By “LIFE” Story. Steffi Nossen, who has taught modern dance in Europe and the U.S. for 20 years, frequently finds ballet ideas in news events. She also encourages her students to translate such ideas and their emotions about them into dance steps. When LIFE published an essay on teen-age girls, it looked like a natural for the Westchester County, New York schoolgirls in her Teen-Age Dance Workshop classes. It also looked like a natural to the girls, to whom the translation into the dance steps of their normal behavior was almost no translation at all. The “Teen-Age Ballet” was first perfomed at Mamaroneck, New York “… A long, hearty laugh at themselves,” opined Mamaroneck Daily Times. On this page the ballet enacts a teen-ager, Diane Walter, doing her homework while listening to the radio. ….. 1945 LIFE Magazine Picture, A5962. 19450528

  A common misconception with regard to the ‘Edinburgh Festival’ is that the festival is simply one large event, under one name. However, the Edinburgh Festival is, in fact, comprised of many different festivals – ranging from the Jazz and Blues Festival and the International Festival, to perhaps the most famous of the events – the Festival Fringe. Festival-goers have a range of events to pick from when visiting Scotland’s capital city during the summer months.

Another thing to keep in mind is that while the majority of the events within the Edinburgh Festival take place during August of each year, some festivals begin much earlier, while others run well into September. So, it’s important to do a bit of research regarding the festivals you’re interested in, taking special note of when each event is being held.

One of the earliest festivals under the ‘Edinburgh Festival’ umbrella is the International Film Festival. Running in June of each year, the Film Festival draws thousands of film fans to experience some of the industry’s freshest works.

The Edinburgh International Film Festival is the world’s oldest continually-running film festival, having started in 1947. The event is famous for hosting initial screenings of renowned blockbusters such as Steven Spielberg’s ET and a number of Woody Allen Films, and continues to run a wide programme with international premieres and retrospectives.

Another recently added feature of the Film Festival includes a film study section – called ‘Scene by Scene’ – which has hosted celebrities such as Steve Martin and the Coen Brothers. The event is now viewed as on-par with the world-famous film festivals held in Cannes and Berlin and the diversity of the festival ensures that there is something for everyone to enjoy – this is especially true if you consider yourself to be somewhat of a film fanatic. The 2009 Edinburgh Film Festival will run from June 17 – 28.

If you’re planning to attend the International Film Festival – or any of the other events for that matter – then you’ll want to ensure you make travel and hotel arrangements well in advance. Some half a million visitors flock to the city each summer for the festival events, making it more difficult to secure flights to Edinburgh – and hotel reservations – at a reasonable date.

So, it can be worthwhile planning in advance for your summer trip this year, especially if you want to experience one of the most world-renowned arts attractions.

Help answer the question about Festival

What date is the festival?
What do the tickets usually cost (I'm assuming they vary by seat choice)?
When do they announce the artists for the festival?
If you've gone, did you stay at a hotel close to the venue?

Thank you!
