Taibola — a way through the taiga (boreal forest), an
abandoned road in Arkhangelsk region. As a metaphor – the way to oneself.
Culture. The main objective of the festival — to involve people into creative activity. The guests will have
possibility not only to see the artists performances, but also to create some art-objects by themselves.
Voluntary activity. Non-commercial festival «TAIBOLA» is created and organized by volunteers. We need your hands, ideas, time, equipment, stuff and
financial support. Entrance fee — taking part in activities, positive attitude, and respect for the festival
philosophy. We propose the festival as a
gift,
there is no entrance fee.
Ecology. The event location will be cleaned of wastes before and after the festival. The wastes will be partially sorted and moved to
the specialized wastes deposit. We plan to attract specialists
of Moscow «Resources Saving Center» and employees of the organization «ETAS» (Arkhangelsk) to
organize lectures and seminars on
ecology.
Open-Air. The festival will be organized
in open air, on the White Sea shore. We position «TAIBOLA» as a family event (for all ages) with free entrance and intense cultural program. The festival is
a good occasion to go camping!
Our
mission:
· to promote cultural and social activity of people by involving them into voluntary
activities;
· to
clean the festival territory and adjacent areas from wastes and rubbish;
· to propagate healthy living, life in
harmony with nature, and ecological construction methods;
· to develop tolerance among young people, to
acquaint the festival guests with different cultural trends: music, traditional
crafts,
tee culture, etc.;
· to promote family activities in open air; first of all— for the young families with small children;
· to represent maximum possible variety of
non-commercial music – concerts of “live” bands, electronic musicians, DJ-sets;
· to involve festival guests into creative activities, to turn the spectator into a participant;
· to increase touristic attraction of the region, to develop the event tourism in Arkhangelsk region.
Project summary:
«TAIBOLA» is a small town with population of several thousand people, existing to the full for three days. It construction and deconstruction
takes a month. The festival guests and volunteers will have a possibility to change their social roles, to receive new skills and abilities, to feel happiness getting the results of own work, to listen to ethnic and modern music, to visit different
master-classes, to create and observe amazing
art-objects made off flotsam and drift wood, to make a part of
remarkable company and to admire nature
of the White Sea! All these issues make «TAIBOLA» a noticeable event, which is
difficult to be described.
Guests and volunteers:
For
80% - people form Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk and Novodvinsk. The rest 20% — guests from other areas of Arkhangelsk region
and Russia. 80% of participants — active young people from 20 to 35. But the festival is surely interesting for people of all ages – from small children to old persons.
Our estimates:
In 2014 we assume enhancing of the event quality to the level
of the Barents region. We plan to organize a contest among professional artists and architects; to invite performers from
different regions of Russia, Norway and
Finland, to invite several sailing yachts
with a special visit. We plan to organize several new festival locations, such as «Slave Settlement» (with a
functioning smithy, Russian stove and pottery wheel). «TAIBOLA» is already seen by local people as one of the main summer events. The festival is known in the central part of Russia.
