Kallós Zoltán turns 90 – This writing expresses deep esteem for Kallós’ lifework and strives to sum up the many, many ways he has enriched and contributed to the dance house movement; one might even wonder – without him would there have been a dance house movement at all? He was born and still resides in Transylvania. Kallós’ years as a school teacher in Transylvania and Moldavia, his influence, collection work, intelligence, knowledge, far-reaching contacts in the Transylvanian village communities amongst the traditional musicians, singers and dancers, his willingness to share, and the forethought and dedication shown in establishing the infrastructure (a foundation, museum) necessary for carrying on, passing on and preserving traditions. By Kiss Ferenc.
