50.Olympic Games : in summer and winter once every two years

Thousands of athletes from different countries around the world participate in various sports. Spectacular opening ceremony.

Previously, this list also included the Love Parade held in Germany. This is one of the largest festivals in the world, it was celebrated in 1989-2003 and 2006-2010. The celebration included electronic music, costumes, and frivolous behavior. Unfortunately, due to the tragic death of 21 people in 2010 due to overcrowding, the Love Parade was canceled forever.

Having visited the International Festival-Competition “The Whole World is Art!”, which took place in Moscow on October 14 at VDNKh, I felt myself in the incredibly creative atmosphere of the holiday. Great amount participants who came from Moscow, the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Tver, the Republic of Belarus and many other regions of Russia and abroad. The kind and open faces of the organizers, who were very sensitive to the competition participants, answered their questions, and helped with organizing their time.

- In May, we staged the play “Bylinka” at the art school, which we performed today. We decided to come, show ourselves, find out what we are capable of.

- How did you learn about the festival-competition?

- Do you want to take part in some master class in the future?

- I would love to attend some master class on acting. So that we could exchange experiences with other teams and teachers. It's always interesting to listen and learn from famous people. But it’s difficult to name a specific person with whom I would like to attend a master class. However, it would be interesting to listen and talk with the stage masters.

Children's Soligorsk School of Arts, Kotsuba Olga Vasilievna.

- We came from Belarus, Minsk region, the city of Soligorsk. We represent the Soligorsk Children's Art School - the only art school in our small city. By the way, this is the same city that provides us all with salt. This is us - the city of Soligorsk.

- Tell us why you chose the “The Whole World is Art” festival-competition?

- You know, when we called the organizers of the competition for the first time, we heard kind voices on the other end of the line, immediately felt a friendly attitude, everything was explained very competently and intelligibly. We wanted to be at this competition-festival. And you know, we didn’t regret our choice for a minute.

- What about studying? Is it vacation time now?

- No, unfortunately it’s not the holidays now. But our children manage to do everything because they are infinitely talented. I believe that the less free time a child has, the better.

- What did you especially like about the festival-competition? Were there any memorable or “disastrous” performances? Did you gain something new for yourself, did you learn something?

- Yes, I liked the insane number of performances. We met many groups. We found new acquaintances. It seemed to us that there was some special creative, comfortable, cozy and pleasant atmosphere here. The presence of a beautiful hall only brightened our performance.

-Would you like to visit the festival-competition “The Whole World is Art”?

- Yes with pleasure. We have only the best impressions from organizing this event. We will look forward to the next festival, but we will not refuse other offers. We will consider new options with great interest.

- What do you think about the master classes? Would you like to participate? If so, who should lead it?

- Undoubtedly, it would be an interesting experience. I would like to attend a master class of some teacher who works with children. Not seasoned actors, but the same teachers from art schools and creative houses. Perhaps some theater studio or studio at the Moscow Art Theater, some specialized schools.
