The Folk Music and Folk Dance Ensemble 'Venyige' was established in
Székelyudvarhely city, (in Harghita county, Transylvania, Romania) the autumn
of 1977 - of initiative and board (between 1997-1987) of Adalbert Béla Fodor.
The World Universal Center Of Total Development and the World University..,
(the 'ITEK University': I.T'E.K-, TEKIA & W.U.T.E.C.S., EKTA) and within this
the transylvanian ETHNOCULTURE Academic Foundation and Academy by its formational
and developmental process is closely related
to the transylvanian VENYIGE Dance House Movement and to the "VENYIGE" Folkmusic
and Folkdance Ensemble, both playing
an important role in Transylvania.
Furthermore the process of establishing
and extending the above mentioned
movement and group provided a period
rich in activity and experience, with the
cooperation on a cultural field of hundreds,
maybe thousands of people with different
ethnical origins from Transylvania and its
regions, especially from Udvarhelyszék - in the Székelyföld.
This process mainly contributed to the formation of the spiritual-ideal ground and of the
actual content and formal criteria of thebWold University... (ITEK-University), it's leading
sciences and etablishing of the departament of Music and Dance, and m. more.
This - VENYIGE-Dancehouse Movement period - was the period when the ideal and formal
bases of the ITEK Academy were established, which could develop under the sign of the VENYIGE Folkmusic and Folkdance Center in Székelyudvarhely (1977-1978) - and later became further developed and integrated to the actualy cultural-educational and scientific development center C.T.D_ WUTC.
