Kerby Centre Malanka 2014

Sending the old year packing, and embracing the changes coming in the new year, Calgary's Kerby Centre is inviting seniors to MALANKA 2014!

MALANKA is the Ukrainian folk holiday celebrated in accordance with the Julian calendar, to welcome the new year.  Across North America, some MALANKA events focus on the traditional ancestral ways of Ukrainians, imbued with rich wisdom, filled with symbols, and images.  Tenaciously and precariously pitched between the old and new times, the Ukrainian New Year MALANKA is conceptually a treasure chest full of folk strategies for life enhancement, so good may ultimately conquer evil, paving the way for peace, good health and prosperity in the new times ahead.  Cold winter nights may be ripe for pondering, but Malanka isn't just an excuse to party, it is part of the ancestral lifestyle to create community together!  Of course, a modern-day Malanka function tends to embrace the social fashions of the day, frequently a New Year's banquet and dance with lovely entertainment of a cultural flair.   

The Kerby Centre's very enthusiastically received Ukrainian New Year's MALANKA 2013 celebration, has encouraged the leadership there to do it again! This year's KERBY CENTRE MALANKA 2014 is being held on January 21, 2014 - it's time to get your tickets!

KERBY CENTRE MALANKA 2014 will again showcase Ukrainian food (pyrohy, holubtsi, kovbasa and a sweet), dancing and music with the talented dedicated people from Suzirya Ukrainian Dance Theatre and Korinnya Ukrainian Folk Ensemble as ambassadors of Ukraine's great cultural traditions. The Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Calgary Branch (located at 404 Meredith Road NE Calgary) will provide cultural artifacts to enhance the traditional ambiance required of this important MALANKA event!

Located in the heart of Calgary, the Kerby Centre is an agency committed to enhancing the lives of seniors through education and recreation. MALANKA 2014 at the KERBY CENTRE is very soon, so it is important for families to pre-register their requests early to reserve a spot. Call 403-705-3233. For more information call 403.265.0661 or visit 1133-7th Ave. S.W.,  Calgary, Alberta. 

SUZIRYA MALANKA 2013

November 2004 a special constellation of many stars was born in Calgary - the Suzirya Сузіря Ukrainian Dance Theatre!  They are again hosting the Suzirya Ukrainian New Years Malanka Маланка in Calgary on Friday, January 18th, 2013.  For more information you can check www.suzirya.com.

Since their formation in 2004, under the direction of Serguei Makarov,  Сергій Макаров, Suzirya has entertained audiences worldwide.  Their choreographic work takes into account the spirit of the times, and the spirit of Ukraine. An expressive fusion of ballet which supports the traditional folk dance of Ukraine, they are an interesting group to enjoy.  Their thoughtful presentations of folklore, pensive movements to honor tragedies of the past, and purely joyful celebrations of youth showcase their professional training and experience. For those new to Ukrainian dance, to former dancers themselves, Suzirya gains many accolades for performances that inspire and enthuse.

See you at their Malanka!!
