International festival-competition "The whole world is art!" will be held in March 2018 in Moscow. The Flamenco House "Flamenqueria", located on Dobroslobodskaya street, will hospitably open its doors to him. Artist competitions will be held in the field of vocals, choirs and theater.

Many nominations

Everyone is invited to this show of young talents, performing solo or as part of creative teams. The organizers informed the participants in advance that the piano would not be on stage. A large number of nominations will provide an opportunity for artists working in a wide variety of fields to participate. It will be possible to take part in the festival only after submitting an application.

So, for example, the competition program for theaters includes screening of masters of artistic expression, drama artists, and participants in musical or plastic theaters. Participants must submit performances or compositionally completed fragments to the jury.

The competition of vocalists and choir singers awaits representatives of such genres as pop and academic vocal, author's song. Jazz musicians and populists will also find their spectators and connoisseurs here. As at other festivals, the participants of the All World is Art! will be divided into age categories, where the youngest includes children from 4 to 6 years old, and the oldest boys and girls from 18 to 25.

All performances in the competition will be held in one round. If we talk about collectives, then their attitude to a particular age group will be based on the majority of members. At the festival, they will strictly monitor the observance of the timing of performances, if it is violated, the artists will be demoted or asked to stop the performance.

Accurate information

At the same time, participants are not prohibited from performing in several nominations (www.art-center.ru). The organizers advise you to be careful with the choice of numbers for each category. Speakers in the "Fiction Word" nomination, for example, must perform their work within five minutes if their composition includes 1-4 people. Requirements for larger teams can be viewed on the specified site.

As for those who will present the performances, they have no more than 30 minutes. Miniatures and compositions should take no more than 10, the participants will have the same amount of time to install the scenery. Singers and ensembles are given 4 minutes to perform here. The performance can be accompanied by your own accompaniment or phonogram.

The organizers require the submission of a phonogram recording either on a flash drive (MP3 format) or on a CD. The composition of the jury of the competition is not disclosed in advance, the names of its members will become known only during its holding. Competitive performances will be discussed by participants and jury members at round tables. In the description of the event, information is highlighted in a separate line that those artists and their teachers will be removed from the competition who show inappropriate behavior towards the members of the jury.

Around the world, a variety of holidays and festivals are held annually, differing from each other in the national characteristics of different peoples of the world. There are many such events that have made a great impression on the whole world and represent the most interesting excursions with dancing, parades and all kinds of entertainment.

It is a popular holiday celebrated not only in the United States of America, but also in Europe. At its core, Mardi Gras is somewhat reminiscent of the Russian Shrovetide, however, it is in New Orleans that it is celebrated more than gorgeous. The Mardi Gras Festival here turns into a grandiose carnival procession with colorful costumes and noisy festivities. The most interesting event of the holiday is the Bacchus parade, which consists of several platforms, each of which depicts one of the vicious entertainments in fantastic costumes. The brightest performances take place on Charles Avenue and Garden District.

This is one of the most famous festivals in the world, watched by millions of people on our planet every year. The Brazilian carnival, which takes place before the beginning of Lent, is celebrated throughout the country on a grand scale, but the most enchanting performance can be seen in Rio de Janeiro. The symbol of the country and the carnival is the fiery samba dance, which absolutely all Brazilians can dance. The holiday is accompanied by rhythmic music, national songs, a huge number of beautiful girls in open costumes with bright feathers and the most unpredictable entertainment shows. The festival takes place along the streets of the city for 5 days, during which all residents of the country are freed from work and are completely transferred to the cheerful atmosphere of the great holiday.

Every year on April 30, Amsterdam celebrates the Coronation Day of the reigning Queen Beatrix, as well as the birthday and memory of Queen Mother Juliana. This event lasts exactly one day throughout the Netherlands, but the most significant events take place in Amsterdam. The festival starts from the royal palace and moves throughout the city with a huge orchestra, traveling attractions and theatrical performances. The brightest symbol of the holiday is the parade of flowers, marching from the city of Aalsmeer to Amsterdam. On this significant day, numerous shops and markets with souvenirs, flowers and other goods open on all streets of the city, attracting tourists with good discounts and bright slogans. All residents of the country wear orange costumes and drink national drinks for the health of their beloved queen.

Camel Festival in Bikaner

This is a very unusual holiday in the Indian state of Rajestan, which is celebrated annually in early January and lasts three days. The festival is a camel parade with beauty contests, dances and exotic shows. On the same days, you can see a camel race on the desert dunes of the surrounding area, and the whole fire show ends with an impressive fireworks display on the last night of the holiday. Most of all, the camel festival is notable for the special haircuts of animals, which are made in the form of real works of art and unreal paintings. For the sake of such a spectacle these days, not only residents of nearby countries and cities come here, but also foreign tourists who want to see the true art of camel hairdressers with their own eyes. This vibrant event is accompanied by beautiful Indian dances and songs that we see so often in the movies.

This is another famous, but no less exotic holiday held in Japan. The name of the festival is translated as "iron penis", which actually fully reflects the essence of the celebration. The people of Japan proclaim this day as a holiday of fertility and childbirth. The procession of the festival begins in the temple of the city of Kawasaki, which served as a place of prayer for prostitutes asking for protection from various diseases associated in one way or another with their work. The Kanamara Matsuri holiday lasts for seven whole days, during which a huge number of various sculptures of the male genital organ of different sizes and colors are carried around the city, as well as all kinds of souvenirs of this theme are sold. The most significant procession of multi-colored phalluses takes place on the last day of the festival, where the celebration of this object ends.

This is a spectacular festival in Spain, celebrated in the Catalan town of Tarragon, near Barcelona. The festival takes place twice a year and is a massive show of living sculptures. Many people call this holiday in their own way: some consider it a kind of sport, others think that it is an art, and still others consider it to be entertainment. They are all somewhat right, but they are also all fascinated by the construction of human pyramids, trying to surpass the opposing teams and build the tallest sculpture of humans. In honor of this ancient Spanish tradition, a statue of the human castells was built in Barcelona, which is an attractive landmark of the resort today. All spectators with bated breath watch the figures of living towers under construction and sincerely rejoice at its successful completion. Often the children are the last "details" of the tower, and they complete the construction of the entire structure. The whole process is accompanied by a certain musical composition, and the audience evaluates the height of the structure and awards a prize to the most daring teams.

This is a unique holiday of pain, which is celebrated annually in one of the Indian cities of Parani. It is an ancient custom that allows Hindus to receive the blessings of the gods. This festival is dedicated to the god of war, to whom, according to tradition, the spear that killed the powerful demon is handed over. All festival participants inflict pain on themselves by piercing their cheeks, tongue, back skin and in other ways, in order to attach special hooks with ropes, at the end of which heavy weights are tied. It is them that the inhabitants of Parani are trying to move, trying to inflict as much pain on themselves as possible. This holiday is celebrated in January or February every year. There is also a massive celebration of the traditional festival, when several thousand Hindus dance the sacred kavadi dance. Such a spectacle looks frightening and cruel, so not all tourists can stand to watch the performance of true Hindus.

Tomatina is a favorite holiday of all Spaniards, held in the last week of August in honor of the passing summer. Like all Spanish festivals, Tomatina is accompanied by active musical rhythms, dances, fireworks, national treats and other entertainments. However, the most important event of the holiday is considered to be the tomato massacre, which is held on the town square of the city of Buñol. Every year at this time thousands of travelers come here to take part in a grand battle, for which tomato shells in the amount of more than a hundred tons are used. The only condition in such fights without rules is to avoid injury, for which each tomato must be kneaded.

Translated from Sanskrit, the name of the festival sounds like the Fiery bunch. The holiday symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and lasts five days. In every region of India, Diwali is celebrated in its own way. In most cases, the festival is dedicated to the goddess Lakshmi, for whom fires are lit everywhere, offerings with coins in a glass of milk are prepared, windows are opened at night and her blessings are awaited. In other cities, the Hindus grease themselves with coconut oil to cleanse themselves of sins, and also perform national prayers in front of the images of the goddess Kali and lower them into the waters of rivers and reservoirs. But in each of these corners of the country, streets are lit up with bright lights and fireworks, people dress up in their finest saris and costumes, and houses are transformed into dazzling works of art adorned with vibrant floral bouquets and elements.

Although the name of the festival speaks of a sad event, in fact, the festival is full of noisy entertainment and warm family picnics. This festival is celebrated everywhere in early November. At this time, Mexicans remember their relatives who have passed away and allow them to return to their family for a short time. To do this, the inhabitants of the country decorate local cemeteries with bright flowers and arrange picnics here, communicating with people who have gone to another world. The next day, various processions are held, people decorate their faces with unusual drawings and masks in the form of skulls, and also dance, sing and have fun. But in some cities of Mexico, you can also find gloomy funeral processions that once again say goodbye to the dead and release them to a better world.

Every year on the last day of June, a colorful body art festival is held, which attracts thousands of foreign tourists from all over the world. A similar holiday has been celebrated since 1998 and every year makes an indelible impression on the audience. Anyone can become a model for the artists gathered here. The action of the festival takes place against the backdrop of the stunning nature of the Alpine villages of Austria, picturesque mountains and the fabulous beauty of lakes. At the end of each day, a luxurious procession of painted models takes place on a special catwalk.
