WORKSHOP MEAD „The long years have gone as quick sips of sweet mead in the high halls at the other side in the West, under the blue vaults of Varda, where the stars tremble at her royal and sacred chants. "Who is now filling my cup?“ (The Lord of the Rings, Namárië second book, chapter 8) The wish that Galadriel brings forth in her song Namárië will at the EFF very happily be fulfilled. Sebastian Kleinen will once again show us his art in brewing mead.

FERUN NAMID - Tribal Style Dance This originally in the US created form of dancing is becoming more and more popular in Europe. Tribal Style Dance is a group-dance that allows its dancers to dance without a particular Choreography. Small hints, called a Cue, signal a change in steps, which can exist out of one step or small combinations. The steps are taken from different Folklores and dances, which is the reason you can find a lot of elements from different cultures in this style of dancing. From Spanish turns to Oriental movements, this style of dancing shows a unique, new Choreography time and time again. Everybody that enjoys dance and movement is invited to join.
