Arts Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

This signals a move away from the more self-protecting attitude of the traditional arts to one where there is room for the influence of other cultures. Although an outside influence is apparent in the music of Hayes and Cahill, it sounds very much as one would expect, despite the fact that they learned their music in an American context. Traditional dance culture has been considerably enriched by the influence of dance from other cultures, as can been seen in the phenomenon of Riverdance.
