Sylvia Sweeney, Mr. Peterson’s niece and a force in her own right, told that story Wednesday in Toronto, at the inaugural conference for the ArtsGames, which plans to revive the practice of recognizing excellence in the arts with gold, silver and bronze medals.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.83em; padding: 0px;">
“He couldn’t help himself but follow this black man,” Ms. Sweeney said of the Peterson story. “That ripple effect of valuing another culture happens because we can’t help what happens at a visceral level. And this is what my motivation is.”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.83em; padding: 0px;">
Ms. Sweeney, a former Olympian, has poured 20 years of her time, energy and grit into the ArtsGames project, an idea that stemmed from a conversation with her uncle about staging festivals that could foster cross-cultural understanding. It will launch next year, with its first online competition sandwiched between the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The first full-fledged Games is slated for 2018, in a host city that has yet to be selected. The finalists are in Switzerland, Canada and the United States.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.83em; padding: 0px;">
The ArtsGames is not part of the Olympics, although the Olympics at one point included awards for the arts. But it is modelled on the international governing body of sport. Qualifying rounds will be held in music, dance, literature, visual arts and film and television.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.83em; padding: 0px;">
“It’s a watershed moment for us,” said Peter Howlett, chairman of the International ArtsGames Committee, trademark holder of the ArtsGames. “We live in a world that is focused on promotability, rather than ability.”</div>

The Games will use “competition to advance a sustainable future for the arts.” Revenue is expected to come primarily from sponsorships, now being negotiated.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.83em; padding: 0px;">
The conference included representatives with a spectrum of expertise, from Jeff Neiman, the exclusive licensing and promotions agent for Universal Studios, to U.S. author and scriptwriter Khephra Burns to Zelma Badu, an associate professor of African dance at the University of Ohio.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.83em; padding: 0px;">
Speakers pitched the Games as a way to tear down inaccurate perceptions of cultures, provide a broad platform for artists and expose audiences to talent from every corner of the globe. Mr. Neiman also suggested the product and branding possibilities are endless, pointing out most of the 4.7 billion viewers of the Olympic and Paralympic Games tune in during the opening and closing ceremonies — which are a pageantry of art.</div>

Fethi Karakecili, a York University professor and founder of the Dilan Dance Co, which focuses on Kurdish and Middle Eastern styles, said the Games can change how people view the Middle East. “I think ArtsGames will save the region’s instruments and dancers in this case. We need it, we need it more than every one else, to be part of ArtsGames.”</div>

Michael Wendt, president of the International Dance Organization, said, “We must be very careful we are not competing with national pride, with traditions, philosophies, histories. There is nobody who is better or worse than somebody else. There is different.”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.83em; padding: 0px;">
Added Ms. Sweeney, “It’s not about culture. It’s about art forms and disciplines.” ArtsGames is a way to “change the picture” about the world.</div>

“I’ve been speaking about this a long time and I think everybody is so caught up in how much money they can make, they don’t understand the impact … It’s this kind of environment where you just want to be near something that is good.”</div>

<span style="outline: none;">TORONTO, Canada – At this year´s annual Turkish Language Olympiads, one of the performances at the opening and closing ceremonies will be a Kurdish Halparke dance.</span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">That is thanks to Toronto-based Fethi Karakecili, a Kurdish dancer, choreographer, educator and scholar who has trained a multinational group of folk dancers to represent Canada at the Olympiads in May and June.</span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">Karakecili’s group is an honorary team that will perform during ceremonies in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir, and travel to Turkey’s Kurdish regions for events hosted by Gaziantep, Diyarbakir and Mardin.</span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">For the dance team, learning the Halparke has also meant learning Kurdish history, culture and a few words.</span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">“The touching, the same-sex hand-holding and the movements of knees were all challenging and awkward at the beginning,” students say, “but we are now comfortable and enjoy the dance much; in fact we love Kurdish dance.” </span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">“Supas, Fethi! Roj bash,” students have learned to say to their beloved trainer. </span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">The group is called “White Eagle Polish Dance Group” and is going to represent Canada in Turkish Language Olympic, held May-June 2014. Although the group is called Polish, the dancers come from a variety of nations, Ukraine, Russia, British and other countries.</span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">The artistic director and choreographer of the first Kurdish Ballet Dance, Mem-o-Zin (2011) and a PhD Candidate at York University, Karakecili has been able to showcase the beauty of Kurdish dance, music, literature and customs at various settings across Canada including University of Toronto’s Isabel Bader Theatre. </span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">Since 2013, Karakecili has been training Canadian High school dancers_ folk, ballet and contemporary dancer_ to link hands, move their shoulders, feet and ankles and perform Kurdish dance.</span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">As a member of Board of Director of Community Folk Arts of Toronto, Karakecili was invited by Turkish Olympic Committee to take a group to Turkey to represent Canada.</span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">Karakecili was born in Urfa, Turkey. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Folk Dance at the State Conservatory in Turkey and completed his Master’s in Dance at Istanbul Technical University – Social Science Institute. </span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">During the time that even the word “Kurdish” was sinful, he taught for 7 years as a full-time faculty at Gaziantep University and Istanbul but moved to Canada in 2001 and completed his second Master’s at York University, Dance Studies. </span></div>
<div style="outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="outline: none;">For his PhD dissertation, Fethi is working on an ethnographic approach to Kurdish wedding rituals, dance and music in Kurdistan and Diaspora.</span></div>
<span style="outline: none;">His other upcoming plan is to take another Kurdish Ballet on stage in Toronto. Newroz and Dance of Colors, is a Kurdish epic story of Kaveh and Zahak that will be performed on May 16, at Isabel Bader Theatre: 93 Charles Street West, Toronto</span></div>
