This Website

On this Studio Lied website, we will learn about the Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul artists and performance and explore conflict and creativity as they relate to life and identity in Ireland today. You will be introduced to the artists themselves and their cultural heritage. Included in this site are opportunities to interact and consider your own ideas on issues related to conflict and creativity.

Teachers

The artists in this year’s World Series performances come from countries challenged by conflict, revolution, reform and hardship. This theme will lend itself to a wide range of teaching and learning opportunities, which we will support with activities on this site and with other websites to explore. World Series performances offer exciting gateways through which to expand awareness of such areas as current social-political events, the importance of history and geography, and the challenges and opportunities of living on a culturally diverse planet.
