Is ón tSiombáib ó dhúchas é Tura Aratura ach é ina chónaí in Éirinn le tríocha bliain anuas. Tá a chroí istigh sa Ghaeilge agus i gcultúr na hÉireann. Is speisialtóir ar damhsa ar an sean-nós agus ar damhsaí na hAfraice é mar aon le ceol an dá thír. Beidh muid ag cur fáilte mhór roimh Tura Aratura go Leitir Ceanainn agus ag súil go mór leis na ceardlanna agus seónna damhsa agus ceoil a éascóidh sé dúinn.
Beidh sé ag tabhairt cuairt ar chúpla de na scoilteacha áitiúla ar an Déardaoin agus ag caitheamh lá iomlán sa Ghaelscoil ar an Aoine. Beidh Lá Teaghlaigh againn ar an Satharn 23ú Bealtaine i nGaelscoil Adhamhnáin ó 12-3pm agus beidh Tura i láthair chun ceardlann a éascú do theaghlaigh an cheantair. Chomh maith le Tura beidh seisiún ceardaíochta Spraoi le Cré againn le Donna McCauley! Beidh sólaistí ar fáil, beidh péinteáil aghaidhe ann agus tá lá speisialta geallta gan dabht.
Tura Aratura comes from Zimbabwe and has been living in Ireland for over 30 years. He is passionate about the Irish language and culture and blends Irish sean-nós and African dance as well as music. We look forward to welcoming him to Letterkenny and are so looking forward to the dance and music workshops he will facilitate for us.
He will visit two local primary schools on Thursday 21st and will spend the full day in the Gaelscoil on Friday 22nd May. On Saturday, May 23 we will have a Family Day in Gaelscoil Adhamhnáin from 12 to 3pm and Tura will be there to provide a dance workshop. We will also welcome Donna McCauley who will provide a Fun Session with Clay! There will be refreshments, face painting and a memorable day is in store for sure.
