Things we do for members and partners.
De eerste balans van de kille sanering door Rutte 1 is er. Bussemaker stuurde hem naar de 1e kamer. In Nederland zijn 41 kunstinstellingen opgeheven, terwijl 132 andere clubs dapper volhouden zonder subsidie (en dus ook zonder personeel). Hoe lang deze firma’s op vrijwilligers door zullen draaien, is nog onbekend. Volgend jaar zullen we er vast een paar kunnen bijvoegen in het rijtje overledenen.
Members of the Dutch Circle of Film Journalists (KNF) and other film critics reviewed the Italian tragicomedy La Grande Bellezza voted best cinematic film of 2013. According to the same critics, Borgman by Alex van Warmerdam the best Dutch film of this year, the KNF announced.
La Grande Bellezza by Paolo Sorrentino received the most points after
We congratulate Marwan Kenzari! He has been selected as one of the Shooting Stars, the ten best young European actors to be showcased at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival.
This annual showcase of new talent could, with some luck
How can a usually very ordinary, amiable theatre director suddenly come out with the notice That a few orchestras can go away and the National Ballet should be outsourced? We wondered so and headed to the car park at the Concertgebouw yesterday.
De Pianoman, de jongen die dit weekend viral ging omdat hij piano speelde tegenover een peloton ME in Kiev, kwam in Hoog Catharijne op zijn idee. NRC Handelsblad meldt dat. De 22 jarige Markian Matsech liep deze zomer als zovelen door het Utrechtse winkelhart, net toen daar de kunstmanifestatie Call of the Mall plaatsvond.
We hebben een culture index. Vandaag werd hij gepresenteerd door de Boekmanstichting, een cultureel onderzoeksbureau. De cultuurindex, eigenlijk een AEX voor cultuur, is bedoeld om inzicht te geven in de stand van de cultuur. Probleem is wel dat de cijfers een beetje oud zijn. Dankzij de index weten we nu dus dat het er in 2011 best aardig voorstond met de cultuur in Nederland. Maar ja. Dat is twee jaar geleden.
Erwin Olaf has a thing for wallpaper. The art photographer, known for his hushed and ominous compositions, thinks what is on a wall is at least as important as what is in front of it. The New Institute has now managed to combine that idea beautifully in an exhibition which shows both the sets of Erwin Olaf's most famous works, and a few wallpaper designs from the quivers of great artists.
It is the turnout of the evening: riding around on a scooter, barber Figaro gets involved in a crazy adventure in which Count Almaviva wants to snatch the beautiful Rosina from the hands of her guardian Doctor Bartolo. Three Bertas, meanwhile, literally tear Basilio's clothes off in an ingenious dance in front of three sets in which the action moves at lightning speed from inside to outside and...
Tonight at Vredenburg Leidsche Rijn, the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra plays the Flute Concerto Dances with the Winds by Einojuhani Rautavaara. Originally Peter Schat's Spring Concert was scheduled, but soloist Jacques Zoon chose to swap it for the Finnish composer's piece.
'Give me a shopping list and I will set it to music,' the Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini is said to have said. Perhaps apocryphal, but fitting for the man who composed faster than musicians could rehearse his scores. Where Wagner needed a lifetime for 14 operas, Rossini wrote triple that. In barely fifteen years.
Een beetje decadent was het wel gisteravond. In feestelijke stemming met het glas in de hand naar de aftrap van de 26e editie van het documentairefestival IDFA in Tuschinski, en dan anderhalf uur kijken naar de lotgevallen van een groepje Syrische opstandelingen in de volledig kapotgeschoten stad Homs.
Forget the hours that preceded, don't think about the two hours to come. This is the moment. The Nibelungenhaat motif and the Hagen motif resound, but distorted. They clash. They cannot agree, We hear something vaguely triumphant, but at the same time threatening.
The fact that it is difficult to get a job after graduation is also well known in the dance world. Therefore, partly at the government's insistence, companies are putting in on talent development. They also hope to A better connection with schools. Jun dancers are now more likely to be on the front line of ballet: the theatre, and that is good news for audiences. Because the energy is fresh and the level has shot up considerably.
We kept a liveblog. Nice and old-fashioned, from the days when every month there was uproar somewhere about the government's handling of art. Now there is peace in the tent, as the PVV sardonically points out, because 'The Left' is now the bearer of policies devised by the PVV. The PVV predicts a black future for 'The Left' once the PVV comes to power.
Even before she graduated from mime school, Boukje Schweigman swore off language. She worked out a wordless philosophy in her performances. She seeks the mystery of life. However vast and elusive her starting points may be, her performances give the audience the most direct, immediate, skin-tight sensation imaginable in a theatre.
Een verlaging van de ww-premie besteden aan een regeling om meer mensen aan het werk te houden, gaat niet door omdat er steeds meer mensen werkloos worden, waardoor de premie omhoog moet. Zie hier het positieve effect van bezuinigingen door de regering. Hoe minder je uitgeeft, hoe dieper de problemen, hoe minder je kunt uitgeven, hoe erger het wordt, hoe minder je kunt uitgeven. En de kunst mag dat weer als eerste duidelijk maken.
"Children are the best judges of what makes a good children's film," a member of the Cinekid children's jury spoke confidently. There may be room for improvement on that, but the fact is that at the awards ceremony on the festive closing night of the Cinekid festival, there was remarkable agreement with the adult jury.
Not only did both juries nominate the same film twice
We hadden nog zo besloten om niets te zeggen over de Zwarte Pieten Discussie. Maar toch. Wie er ook gelijk heeft, en wat er ook historisch over gezegd, geschreven en gefantaseerd is, inmiddels hebben we beelden. Op die beelden, uit 1935, zien we Sinterklaas (een glansrol van de beroemde acteur en regisseur Eduard Verkade) (dank Peter van Bokhorst voor de info), omgeven door mannen in een soort edelenkostuum, te paard. We dachten even
Those who think the library's collection is so important, then, should see how they fund its preservation. So says culture minister Jet Bussemaker in response to questions by MP Bergkamp (D66). Bergkamp had asked these questions in response to the message That the post-1950 collection is not considered heritage by the ministry, and therefore shreddable is.
A joint press conference by two companies. In the post-Zijlstra era, that often does not bode well. A merger then seems obvious, especially when it involves the two largest opera companies in our country: De Nederlandse Opera and the Nationale Reisopera. Only now we have to turn that around: the Netherlands Opera will become the National Opera. And the building will be called National Opera and Ballet.
The photo documentary made by photographer Rob Hornstra on the preparations for the Sotchi Olympics will be shown in Moscow after all. At least we hope so, now that after an earlier sudden cancellation a venue has been found at the Sakharov House in Moscow. Next Friday, Dutch fans can watch the opening from Amsterdam's Stadsschouwburg (bring your own beer) attend. Unless
I see a lot, but an exhibition that gives access to that contemporary art for outsiders is rarely among them. You have the Rijksmuseum with a nice overview of culture through the ages, but from 1900 onwards, the space for it becomes very small. So you don't know what's going on now. For that, you can go to the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, which shows the world's best. If, however, you want a handy overview of what Dutch artists have created, the best place to go is Schiedam.
De Amsterdamse Stadsschouwburg is op zoek naar een bedrijfsleider voor het restaurant. Gebeurt vaker, maar dit keer is het wel nieuws. De Amsterdamse Stadsschouwburg heeft namelijk een plek terug te veroveren. Op het restaurant. Toen dat restaurant openging, een paar jaar geleden na een ingrijpende verbouwing van het 19e eeuwse pand aan het Leidseplein, was de stadsschouwburg opeens soort van onvindbaar geworden.
