Cultuurverkenning

Toneelschrijvers en cultuurverkenning (3): ’Hedendaagse musical, een nieuwe traditie onder schrijvers?’

Op 25 januari 2018 zijn de Musical Awards uitgereikt met, zoals we gewend zijn, veel vertaalde heropvoeringen en geijkt repertoire. Ook viel op dat er waardering is voor nieuw Nederlands werk. Menig schrijver zal juichend op de bank hebben gezeten toen ‘Was Getekend, Annie M.G. Schmidt’ in de prijzen viel. Belooft dat iets voor de toekomst? Kan de hedendaagse (kleine)… 

Playwrights and cultural exploration (2) Sophie Kassies: 'A pool of plays that don't find an audience is an erosion of the profession'

The previous cultural exploration among playwrights gives cause for further exploration. From the earlier article, we take away that further privatisation only partially captures public money and objectives. See also from elevation ideals to efficiency thinking. We also take away that a public as all-important leads to one-sided popular culture, entertainment and false competition with the free circuit. It all has very little... 

Good news for Urban artists in need of money. Three cultural funds are proposing eight 'Matchmakers'. (But at least 12 are needed)

Opinions differ on the size of the pot of money waiting for them, but 'urban' makers in particular do not yet know how to find their way to our art subsidy system. That is why the three cultural funds that deal mainly with performing arts have appointed ambassadors in a number of Dutch cities. These 'Matchmakers' should narrow the gap between The Hague and 'the region'....

Joop Daalmeijer Marathon (closing): 'But who knows anything about it? They are all generalists sitting there.'

Wijbrand Schaap: 'The amateur arts. I have personally experienced the cutbacks at the Utrecht Centre for the Arts in Utrecht. First, they were heavily cut back there back in 2001 under Leefbaar. They survived that, and now they were just recovering a bit...' Joop Daalmeijer: ' ...and now everything is going to the schools.' Wijbrand Schaap: 'There are... 

Joop Daalmeijer Marathon (7): 'If the knowledge is lost, so is the heritage.'

Wijbrand Schaap: 'Just one more point. Then we're almost through.' Joop Daalmeijer: 'Continue quietly, we have until half past five.' Wijbrand Schaap: 'We have a problem with real estate. A lot of inner cities are empty. Shop premises are empty, downtown office buildings are unrentable. What do the municipalities say? Put artists in them. Cost nothing, because for free rent they do... 

Joop Daalmeijer Marathon (6): 'The Rijksakademie will go to pieces if we don't intervene'

Wijbrand Schaap: 'The basic infrastructure was keelhauled by Zijlstra while it was not yet ripe. That, in its smaller version, now runs the risk of leading to further rigidity.' Joop Daalmeijer: 'That's a good observation. We are also working on that in our Culture Exploration. We are having a lot of discussions, which we are also taking out into the country. We are starting... 

Joop Daalmeijer Marathon (5) "All balls on Amsterdam", I'm not into that at all.

Wijbrand Schaap: 'Now on the role of cities. One of the reactions on our site is about the role of the randstad in cultural policy. Melle Daamen puts the primacy in the randstad, and goes further than the council in this.' Joop Daalmeijer: 'The council has no position yet.' Wijbrand Schaap: 'But there is something in the Culture Outlook. Cities form... 

Joop Daalmeijer Marathon (4): ‘Omroepen knijpen artiesten uit’

Wijbrand Schaap: ‘Volgende hot issue. Auteursrecht staat in een paar passages van de Cultuurverkenning genoemd. Daar heb ik op diverse manieren ook mee te maken. Er is natuurlijk dat nieuwe auteurscontractenrecht, dat in de kamer ooit, misschien, gaat worden behandeld. Mooi daaraan is dat de positie van de maker in dat recht is versterkt.’ Joop Daalmeijer: ‘Terecht.’ Wijbrand Schaap: ‘Maar… 

Joop Daalmeijer Marathon (3): "The arts sector should have reached out to consumers"

Wijbrand Schaap: 'There has been much talk about the change in Council attitudes under your leadership. After the confrontation course under your predecessor Els Swaab, you seemed appointed by Halbe Zijlstra to act as a kind of applause machine.' Joop Daalmeijer: 'I was not hired by Halbe Zijlstra, I was appointed by the queen. Isn't that nice?...

‘Bezuinigingen leiden wel degelijk tot kwaliteitsverlies.’ Het grote Raad voor de Kunst-interview (1): “Het mecenaat is natuurlijk flauwekul.”

Joop Daalmeijer: ‘Ik autoriseer nooit. Dat vind ik zo’n onzin. Een journalist moet gewoon goed zijn werk doen.’ Wijbrand Schaap: ‘Daar zijn we het dan over eens. We schrijven alles integraal op, maar omdat gesprekken over alles nogal eens oeverloos willen zijn, wil ik het ophangen aan de Cultuurverkenning. Dat is het meest concrete stuk en het meest actueel, en het… 

Melle Daamen op @cultuurpers: 6 redenen waarom het kunstdebat in Nederland zo moeizaam is.

Twee artikelen publiceerde ik vorig jaar in NRC Handelsblad. Het eerste (6 juli 2013) was kritisch over het overheidsbeleid. Daar kwam weinig reactie op. Het tweede artikel (7 december 2013) was kritisch over de kunstensector: die moet zelf scherpe keuzes maken. Dat zorgde wel voor veel beroering, hoewel ik ervan overtuigd ben dat veel collega’s het met de inhoud grotendeels eens…
