This week it bursts Holland Festival loose and we are there. With a sizeable team of professional journalists, we make a Dodo Festival day newspaper, as we did previously for, for example Springdance and The International Choice of the Rotterdam Theatre. We follow the festival closely to bring news as it happens. We go to see performances that others don't go to, or look with different eyes at plays that everyone is going to see anyway. Our reviewers write reviews, but also tell on camera what they experienced and, if possible, do not shy away from a discussion with a performing artist. Independent, critical and committed.
Over the past few weeks, some of our reporters have already hit the road in search of what the festival has in store. Fransien van der Putt saw in Rouen the dance performance Nya, in which hip-hop, modern dance from France and Algerian street culture merge into an Arab spring piece. Leo Bankersen saw the films by Schlingensief and Spalding Gray and wondered what the two tormented souls would have to say to each other if they had met. Wijbrand Schaap spoke in Antwerp with Elizabeth Lecompte of the Wooster Group about Tennessee Williams and Daniel Bertina travelled to Berlin for a preview of Schlingensiefs Via Intolleranza.
Later this month, you can also expect contributions including Maarten Baanders, Margriet Prinssen, Henri Drost, Jacob Haagsma, Rianne van der Molen and Lonneke Regter.
