Learn to dance with Ludus

You can take part in the final event of f.city 2006, Finale, an innovative new piece of dance. Via video podcasts you'll learn simple dance steps and receive tuition and instructions for a final performance in Dalton Square on 21 October

Register your interest by emailing [email protected] and you’ll receive full details of how you can get involved in this mass public performance.

You can receive the videos in a couple of ways:

- You can play the lower resolution series here on the website.

- You can subscribe to the podcast so that your computer automatically downloads the latest episodes. There is the lower resolution series, which are about 3.5MB each, and a high resolution series suitable for subscribing to in iTunes, which are about 20MB each.

You'll need some (free) software that can handle podcast subscriptions, such as Juice or iTunes. Whichever software you use there will be a menu item along the lines of 'subscribe to podcast'. Juice has a subscriptions tab for this and iTunes has it on the Advanced menu. You need to copy and paste one of the following URLs (links) into the podcast programme so it knows where to check for new episodes:

High resolution - http://www.folly.co.uk/?q=taxonomy/term/76/0/feed

Low resolution - http://www.folly.co.uk/?q=taxonomy/term/77/0/feed

To watch the videos you'll need software that can show .mov or .m4v (.mp4) files. iTunes can handle these as can the free open source player VLC . To watch the videos on the website you'll need Quicktime installed. Note to Linux users: try downloading the lower resolution files (.mov) and viewing with mplayer or xine.
