Extractions: Ethiopian Treasures Text Only Home Religion Language ... Advertise Historical Sites Ethiopia 1855-1991 General Interest Ethiopia has a diverse mix of ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. It is a country with more than 80 different ethnic groups each with its own language, culture, custom and tradition. One of the most significant areas of Ethiopian culture is its literature, which is represented predominantly by translations from ancient Greek and Hebrew religious texts into the ancient language Ge'ez, modern Amharic and Tigrigna languages. Ge'ez is one of the most ancient languages in the world and is still used today by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has its own unique customs and traditions, which have been influenced by Judaism. The Tigrayans' history and culture is derived from the Aksumite Kingdom tradition and culture whereas the history and culture of the Amhara people is derived from the post Aksumite imperial reign of Menelik II and Haile Selassie. In Ethiopia, men and women have clearly defined roles. Traditionally men are responsible for providing for the family and for dealing with family contact outside the home whereas women are responsible for domestic work and looking after the children. Parents are stricter with their daughters than their sons; often parents give more freedom to males than females. The traditional view was men neither cook nor do shopping because housework tends to be women's job. This view continues to be held in many areas of the country.

Lapland lies in a geoglaphically interesting position. Lappland is a vast area of northeastern Europe, largely within the Arctic Circle. It is part of the northernmost re gion of Fennoscandia known as the 'Calotte'. Its southern border roughly follows the Actic Circle. Lappland covers northern Norway, northern Sweden, northern Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula of Russia. Relations with Sweden and Norway are close, and there are numerous border crossing points. The route to Europe's northernmost spot, the North Cape, runs right through Finnish Lapland. Contact with the Lapps in the Soviet Union was closed early in the Soviet era. The Lapps live in and have adapted to a severe Arctic climate. The vegetation in the Arctic includes both a sparse tundra except in the forested southern zone. Lapland is rich in flora and fauna that thrive only in Arctic areas. Lapland is a vast area that lies largely above the Arctic Circle. It has five distinct seasons, spring, summer, autumn, kaamos and winter. Finnish Lapland is the mysterious land of Santa Claus, and home to the domestic reindeer.

Extractions: Figure 1.British boys no longer wear the kilt, except for special occasions. Private schools in Scotland generally require it as part of the dress uniform. The Scotts were one of the important ethnic groups found modern America. As part of the United Kingdom after the Act of Union (1705?), they had free access to the American colonies. The English of course were far more numerous as Sctland is a relatively small country. Scottish immigration to America increased significantly as the English move to supress the Clans and Scottish culture. Immigration reached high levels after the brutal supression following the Battle of Culloden (1746) and the implementation of the enclosures. Scottish immigratiion was relatively small compared to the title wave of immigrants reaching America in the 19th Century. America, however, had a much smaller population in the 18th Century, only about 3 million at the time of War of Indpendece (1775-83). Thus the Scotts that arrived in America played a major role in the evloving American culture that proved to be the foundatiin of the national ethic. The Scotts have blended more into the American salad bowl then many other ethnic groups. Thus they are not nearly as well defined as the Irish and Itlalians and other 19th Century immigrants. The one thing that most Scottish immigrants had in common was a hatred of the English. Some Scotts might add, "And the Cambells." (The Cambells allied themselves with the English at Culloden.)

Men wear brown shirts and white trousers. Their headgear is simply a piece of cloth wrapped around the head and their footwear consists of a pair of plain sandals. For formal ceremonies men would have two additional items, a long gown with slits on either side, and a turban, usually in black or brown made of cotton or silk. In feudal times, there were strict dress codes. Ordinary people were not allowed to wear clothes with dyes other than black, brown or white. Costumes in yellow were reserved for the King. Those in purple and red were reserved for high ranking court officials, while dresses in blue were exclusively worn by petty court officials. Men's dress has gradually changed along with social development. The traditional set of a long gown and turban gave way to more modern looking suits, while business shirts and trousers have replaced traditional long sleeved shirts and wide trousers. Traditional costumes still exist and efforts are increasingly being made to restore traditional festivals and entertainment which incorporate traditional costumes. Young women wear light brown-colored short shirts with long black skirts. Their headgear consists of a black turban with a peak at the front. To make their waist look smaller, they tightly fasten a long piece of pink or violet cloth.On formal occasions, they wear a special three layered dress called an "

The emphasis is on Africa, but there are great pictures of the Tuareg, Berbers, Moroccans, and the Berber bridal fair. INCREDIBLE photography of costumes, jewelry, henna and facial tattoos. Wonderful photos of the people of Africa." Art of Arabian Costume: A Saudi Arabian Profile by Heather Colyer Ross. "This book would be a useful resource for middle eastern dancers looking for costume ideas, but is not as helpful for those looking for exact information about how the garments are made. Many of the poses used by the models are very dramatic (or even high fashion) and attractive, but make it difficult to make out the details of the garments. Historical information is sketchy. However, the wide variety of garments shown and the fact that they are shown in color, together with the extensive commentary in the text, makes this a useful book. There are few books covering Bedouin dress this extensively."

Extractions: Excuse the pun, but costume design has been the perfect fit for many talented and artistic dancers. Costume design and dance have had a love affair since the first steps were choreographed. Many dancers will tell you that the emotion of a routine is not set in stone until the routine has been performed in costume. Dancers don't just cross the stage in costume, as actors dothey lift, leap, and turn. A case in point is former dancer and costume specialist Lucio Boliver, now a designer, wardrobe consultant, and the president of Dynamix, a costume-building company based in Las Vegas. Boliver has created costumes for shows all around the world, from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, South America to Asia. He has designed costumes for shows such as "Imagine" in Las Vegas, "Masquerade" in Tokyo, and "Glamour" on the Crown Princess Cruise Lines. An exceptionally talented man, his dance experiences and girl for costume design have helped him to understand the practicality and movement needed in a dance costume. Dance Magazine: What advice would you offer someone in dance who is interested in pursuing a career in costume design?
