your romance with me your host meghan late here's a look at what else we've got coming up on today's program. how a passionate car lover from austria recreated the from scratch cars from hollywood movies and the getaway to the canary island of gran canaria far and taste of their unique increasing. but we start off the show with a little spring in our step irish dancing or irish step dancing has a long history and tradition on the emerald island now you may be familiar with it thanks to shows like river dance the movements are similar to fast tap dancing where the feet and legs do much of the work but the arms remain still the music is also generally traditional folk tunes but one group of young irishman is looking to bring irish dancing into the modern day and age.

skilled irish dance with a modern twist in breathtaking locations but that's the recipe for the success of the irish dance company. there might not be you know they're not. irish for friends and the 7 friends are ethan quinten ronan o'connell frances fallon seamus morrison brian culligan stephen mcguinness sandara kelly. is what we do just want to show the rest of the world how good irish dancing can be especially when paired with modern music we're trying to bring it forward to a new audience and really show like what ireland can do and what we can do. irish dance as part of the national culture hard to choreograph to trending pop songs instead of celtic tune and we're relaxed outfits instead of tailored uniforms there

are modern performances our unique blend of john rhodes. what we're trying to do is fuse jazz dancing tap dancing even hip hop with our own irish dancing to try and elevate a modern life or something and really taken to a whole new level. it may look straightforward and simple to put it in up but it's the result of years apart training also. and started dancing at a very young age some have known each other for years from the country's dance competitions they learn the variations and techniques of irish stands almost from day one. irish dancing shoes are made out of leather and they also have a tape that is made out of ceramic that is made out of plastic and using these 2 pieces we can make a variety of different beat so you can make a click like that or you can make a sort of a more toadying be with your toe. they

got the group together in 2020 but then the pandemic hit and they couldn't perform live so they began producing videos and posting them on the tick tock social media site. yeah we do try to make our videos look as spontaneous and it was possible but really years of work is going to what we do takes over 15 years. just the center that we've run a series together and can often take 2 or 3 days to choreograph just a very short video. the dance company had their breakthrough and august 2020 with this video it got almost 90000000 views and made social media sensation overnight. our lives changed like dramatically from there to talk to we began to get recognized by some people in the

streets we. read every newspaper every local radio station is really wanted to talk with part is what we're about there's a sense of excitement that we're going to group as. followers of day. just. shocked now the company is based in a sleepy little town near galway among their fans are international stars like the colombian singers. akira the make it talent to dancers barely 20 years old have inquiries from all corners of the world they have a manager now but for the time being georgia is still unable to accept any invitations to perform because of the corona pandemic. the young men recently moved into this house on the coast one of the 1st fruits of their success here they eat and from lax together. playing chess. exercising. and developing the ideas for their dance routines.

they were hearst's in the kitchen or on the terrace. we have such big dreams for the future we just want to tour the words doing something that we absolutely love doing you know we're making viral videos out there and if we can show that to a live audience and get the response just from them it would be absolutely amazing . traditional dance with a contemporary look. the new generation of irish dance. birds of a feather flock together and it is precisely in these moments that danish photographer saren pulls out his camera the images he captures of starlings in flight look like

giant creatures or even abstract paintings in the sky well what started out as a temporary project for this photographer has turned into a journey lasting several years. you wait for a week or 2 weeks nothing. but then within a few seconds everything changes and suddenly the sky explodes. it is one of the most exciting things i've ever experienced in my life. my name is sun sorcha i'm a danish photographer i photograph starting memory since some very fascinated by the shapes that make in the sky. the magic usually happens when the flock of starlings is attacked by birds of prey.

as a defense mechanism they create bees very organic shapes like these black waves going through the flock and actually it happens so quickly that you don't even realize sometimes what you've seen. the. difference land region in the north of the netherlands photographers in zeiger has travelled here from denmark for his project black sun. i've worked in 6 different countries so far and so i do a lot of research to find out where the birds are. all i can do this research and turn up and then hope for the best. i've been out probably 120 days in the last 4 years and i probably had between 5 and 10 very good nights.

so starting memory since when i was a little kid my parents took me to the west coast of that mark when i was 10 that was an image that never left me really and then i did portraits for 25 years. i suddenly it came to me that i wanted to go back to to see those starlings and try to photograph them. and continues to make for treats as well. taking photos of celebrities like anyone else. i doubt. the white stripes. and bjork. has really been my specialty and something that i've been pretty obsessed with. i've completed it's 5 different books of portraits of mainly famous people the new

project. that i've been. doing now for a while it's very different it's nature and. it's very humbling in a way it's. the heart to museum of contemporary art in the danish city hanging is now showing his photos in a major exhibition. i haven't moved one single bird in photoshop in this project. its nature. and its nature at its most surreal. these magic moments occur by themselves in the church. originally you seem to rector hard to remember plan to exhibits like us photos of danish pop stars but the pictures of the black sun series made such an impression on him that he changed his plan we know what's going on we can explain it and at the same time

we see something which is so incredibly beautiful that it is difficult to comprehend how. zoom has planned to spend one week with the starlings turned into a 4 year project. every picture is totally different i have not in 4 years experienced the same motive twice. so that gives me a great incentive to keep going and i'm far from done with this project i think i will keep going for a few more years. time now for a blast from the past and fans of the 1980 s. t.v. show knight rider may recognize this car. well this is the high tech talking trans-am kit which always came to the rescue when its driver got in trouble well

one man in austria is keeping kids spirit alive by recreating its and other hollywood movie cars. mountain hans mission in life is to resurrect cars the right film or t.v. history and put them back into action he pushes his rep the current kids to its limits just like david hasselhoff did in the night by the t.v. series and he takes his the original ice charger for a spin near his hometown crawfish low austria. true to its name because even cause a few good figures on ice in the 8th part of the fast and furious movie series it took months in han about 4 years working by hand to replicate the bottom of the you know it's hard to spot any difference to the jet turbine powered vehicle that overtake everything and in the batman movie of 1909. was obama because you know when you're driving a film car it's like

a little vacation from daily life you feel special everybody looks at you and you feel a bit like a superstar in the car. not in hans daily routine involves working as an insurance agent he's been collecting film cars since 2006 sometimes he buys the originals but often key recreates them himself like his latest version of the kits complete with the super to see the millions of fans of the t.v. show. after working on a car like this for years and investing so much time and money it's a priceless experience when you take a seat in the complete a car and you want to be of the meaning of a very high level michael if you're travelling at excessive speed because kids that you may not talk like the one to see to it but it looks much the identical it took him several years to transform the pontiac firebird into a night industries 2001. did they say all the parts are handmade or do i bend and welded all the metal vests the hardest

part about duplicating the car was always making the parts to scale you can't get any construction plans all i had to go on were screenshots from the series freeze frames rulers and excel tables to calculate the measurements for the car that was it. if you have to. honest recreated it doesn't movie cars in steel and teen from popular movies and t.v. show he's adding more every year he's got the full support of his family for projects that are always experiments. he also challenges taking on something new and overcoming new limits everyone asks me if i've got a plan how i proceed so i tell them no plan i just take a piece of metal a welding torch of flex and see what comes of it the best. well comes of it a faithful reproduction especially of cars that write media history in the 1980 s. such as the captain lack from the cult classic ghostbusters that carried the

intrepid heroes out on cruise with old she hates. this song's all the all these are the cars from my childhood but now that i've built the automotive highlights of my childhood i think i'm specializing in more contemporary cars. he's currently working on his fashions of rusty terry truck character and their race cars lightning mcqueen from the animated movie cars pets friends from human personalities. the car enthusiast town this mechanical life into the fictional models. if i get it working with sales i've got 2 little boys 2 and 4 years old and they're total lightning mcqueen and cars fans my kids don't have an emotional connection to my other movie cars i'd like the boys to develop a passion for cars and that's why i'm building this one to get the midst of martin hans re creations are not allowed on public rights but it's me because to bring

a little piece of hollywood to rural australia. tortillas and top are what most people think of when they talk about spanish food but when visiting the canary islands there's a greater x. like to mix now although the canary islands are part of spain they are geographically closer to africa so when it comes to food you can find specialties there that you can't find anywhere else. the island of gronk. whether you're high up in the mountains or down in sleepy fishing villages food is a big deal on the canaries 3rd largest island a cuisine influenced by the archipelagos location off the african coast and the mild climate here we find unique dishes like. on. the other. gallows are potatoes with

a spicy sauce. on those near the capital les paul must also serves what is probably the most famous canary inside dish carlotta d.s. race us uses local potatoes because they're the only ones to develop that characteristically wrinkly skin when they're cooked in salt water i get happy every refinery in the canary and it's in general this skin in the tasting is part of the pop us out about us because that's where the flavor is the salt and the moho sauce . and then there's again the moment. the potatoes are served with a sauce made from garlic chilies and peppers. oh short drive away this mill in some time but you gotta get busy producing these staple of canady and cuisine go feel flour it's made from roasted grains mostly corn some mailers still produce it by hand to this day like jose antonio has he only has the help of antique machines

. do it all go along i do everything by hand i clean your corn civet i put it in the machine to roast i take the book it's and put it in at the top we're working hard so this isn't lost because this is gold for a canary interview this is gold. jose antonio had none does sells the flour to clients. from all around the island they take it home to have it for breakfast with milk or to bake it or cook it one of the favorites is real is that the at the pits a typical canary dish. goldfield puree is a traditional mix of go feel and vegetable bishop or meat broth. and then peeno had none of those cooks this dish every sunday at the. chop though. she likes to

serve it with spearmint momo sauce and onions these will be used as spoons. didn't. say you know i love to cook the smells remind me of my childhood and when the english and the germans come i love watching them eat because they eat with so much gusto and then they think me. these customers from germany are trying to go feel as though for the 1st time. it's a very rich delicious taste but it's also really a 1st it's a bit weird. but it goes well together everything melts in your mouth so it was very good. for dessert we continue to the center of the island to the village of take. this region is known for its allman trees and its treats. because this is

a very good. b.n. mesaba it literally means that tastes good to me cook somebody out maybe enough has developed one of the most successful recipes for this allman cream. first she needs to heat up lemon water. then she adds the famous all men's. finally she adds some egg yolks. yes it is what my mother in law and the people have to head that taught me is that you have to cook it to the right point but as i really don't look at the need to know that it's done it needs to smell like moments like good on and as we say here so. yes needs to cool for a few days but 1st a taste test. going through excellent it's very good.

and it reminds me of my childhood of our landscapes that. i'm not proud of our allman trees it's heavenly people didn't see one of my. lawn come arias cuisine is just as diverse as its landscape amat no enjoy your meal or as the canary and say. from generations. looks good now right and finally we've been living in a pandemic for a year now and if you had to represent your feelings from living in lockdown in an artwork well what would that artwork look like well for me it would resemble something like the scream or one german artist has found a unique way to make a statement about the liberties which have been curtailed during this time his installations with mannequins like this one here have been popping up all over germany now we met up with the artist to find out more about this project.

he's been found a ha i saw it and immediately thought that it had something to do with corona or not so it would not. actually i sort of it was about discounts and so i could social because of the color of the sticky stuff and it's a group of people women children men and even animals everyone has mastered these days. so you don't recognize people anymore very good art and it's colorful and that's why it brings joy to the heart and that's what we're missing. at 11 am right in front of cologne cathedral artist dennis josefa magic and his team set up $111.00 money came because his installation it is like it is a symbol for the corona pandemic and its social effects.

and represents the movement restrictions that we have during these carona times we can't do what we'd like to do and move around the way that we're used to especially in times of crisis we see how our lives can change and things we have taken for granted can suddenly become a thing of the past. the pedestrian area around the cologne cathedral is just one of the many places to stage his money. since the beginning of the pandemic last year they've already toured more than 30 german cities. they placed in front of the. conclave. and okupe by the old land bridge and. the figure is wrapped in red and white warning tape symbolize social distancing and the standstill of public life. even on the ski slope. own limits of the americans come from different places for

example from boutiques that have had to close their doors during the pandemic but also from a hobby hardware store that had to shut down so i was able to buy all the mannequins at a reasonable price messick studies it and on a scene for us to social sciences. he specializes in sculptures made of materials such as wood which he works on with a chainsaw as well as metal constructions. it's a. it's like it is is his 1st public installation later this year a book of photographs on the project is to be published the manikins experience what many cannot join in the pandemic. for example they go club and. hang out at boss to get. take a trip to the city. most recently the dolls were the only ones to celebrate because lone carnival as it had to be cancelled to the regret of

many just to give you an idea this was the place to plug not scare kids lucky that was touring installation can take place independently of temporarily close cultural institutions and it carries a message. worth of art and culture are also something for the mind you might not even consciously realize that it stimulates and inspires you mentally in different ways but you notice that you're lacking it somehow. in a dentist years if messick will be awarded the creator creativity prize in spirit for this project and if conditions permit he plans to take his mannequins own tools to other countries. and with that we come to the end of the show now don't forget to check out our website with this week's draw and a chance at owning this a d w backpack and some other goodies well as always thanks for watching and we'll see
