We will be hosting 7 great multilingual and multiinstrumental music groups on our stage: Ayanbeyan, Deli Reçel, Imvros Ensemble, Ruşen Alkar, Seyyah, Serbest Bölge and Sinafi Trio.
There will be 7 dance workshops and participatory performances from different parts of the world: Anatolian, Balkan, European and many more.
We’ll discuss how to improve our working conditions, solve our professional problems and build solidarity economy models among our community.
Imvros (Gökçeada) is an island in the North Aegean, in the province of Çanakkale/Turkey. Check information about the bus and ferry schedules before coming to Imvros at the link below.
Music and dance workshops and performances in a variety of languages and styles from different traditions and cultures will be accessible free of charge for everyone and are a vital part of our festival. No experience necessary for the workshops!

‘A life without dancing is not worth living’, so we’ve added many easy-to-learn and practice dance workshops with group activities in the festival programme.
In addition to the many music and dance performances, there will be plenty of interactive and participatory workshops to attend during the festival.
ImvrosFest is organised collectively by a group of language workers, musicians and dance performers. We have been organising wide-reaching public events on translation, music and dance over the past five years.
