Edinburgh Multilingual Stories Festival - Bilingual Ceilidh

Edinburgh Multilingual Stories Festival EMSF is bringing together artists, researchers, children and communities for the first time in Scotland to celebrate the diversity of our city at Assembly Roxy.
Organised by Bilingualism Matters, Theatre Sans Accents and the Polish Cultural Festival Association, this unique event is a chance to represent and empower the different voices from here and beyond gathered in Edinburgh.

The festival will offer an opportunity for bilinguals to creatively explore and express what it means to learn and speak more than one language, and for monolinguals to get a glimpse of the bilingual experience.

Our programme includes a multilingual ceilidh with Science Ceilidh Band, and a series of FREE workshops, talks, performances, concerts as well as scratch nights showcasing the best of our local talents across music, dance, theatre and visual arts.

Physics Ceilidh

Are you ready to Strip the Electron? Or try the Planetary Festival Dance? Join the award-winning Science Ceilidh band along with researchers from the School of Physics at the University of Edinburgh. On Saturday evening, we’re going to get down and physical with a full-blown proper ceilidh for the big kids with a mix of traditional and physics-themed dances touching on space, electrons & everything in-between! No partner, science or dance experience required! 

On Sunday daytime, families will get hands-on with our DIY Science Orchestra workshops all about the science of music. Experimenting with a series of unlikely instruments from fiddles to pipes, including making your very own kazoos to take away, we’ll learn all about physics of sound before we make some music together as a DIY science orchestra! Finally, the end the busy day, there'll be a family-friendly science ceilidh to put your physics learning (and dance moves) in action!!
