I can't resist mentioning it, because I think they were doing it for a reason, the dancers in the musical Wuthering Heights making really visible big rounds with their arms one time: this was a half-second reference to Kate Bush's world-changing 'windmill swings' in the music video to her legendary 1978 pop song. A subtle nod as in my...
Op 11 juni 2023 vindt in het Holland Festival de Nederlandse première plaats van de Britse 5-sterren muziektheatervoorstelling Wuthering Heights in DeLaMar in Amsterdam. Een van Londens invloedrijkste regisseurs, Emma Rice, bewerkte het literaire meesterwerk van Emily Brontë tot een vurige theatrale ervaring, met livemuziek, humor, poppenspel en dans. Wuthering Heights werd lovend ontvangen in Londen en toert op dit…
4 million Dutch people have a brain disorder. The Brain Foundation comes up with that figure in a campaign to make people more aware of the consequences of brain injury. Often that injury leads to extreme sensitivity to stimuli. Then loud noise, bright light or sharp smell is suddenly a big problem. People affected by these can find it difficult to go outside. That is why ...
News arrived this week that Andreas Fleischmann, the highly esteemed director of Amsterdam's DeLaMar Theatre, has now officially become director-director of Stichting MusicalMakers, the foundation he had set up last year, a day before the deadline for grant applications for four-year state funding. And that is not allowed.
Weismann strikes me as too brilliant and intelligent a director to throw himself into an adventure that could break him for good. An alpha male, a big ego, it was well known. And couldn't keep his paws off young women.
Nederland is niet groot genoeg voor twee grote musicalproducenten. Dat is de enige conclusie die getrokken kan worden uit het vertrek van Albert Verlinde bij Stage Entertainment.
Voor ik iets inhoudelijks zeg over Lazarus, zondag 13 oktober dé musicalpremière voor mensen die nooit naar musicals gaan, een paar misverstanden de wereld uit. Allereerst, het album Blackstar, dat David Bowie drie dagen voor zijn dood op 11 januari 2016 uitbracht, is níet de soundtrack van Lazarus, de musical van zijn hand die een maand voor zijn dood uitkwam.…
Dragan Bakema gaat de hoofdrol van Newton spelen in David Bowie’s Lazarus. Gijs Naber heeft de rol noodgedwongen teruggegeven, nadat hij tot de conclusie kwam dat hij de afgelopen tijd te veel hooi op zijn vork heeft genomen. Gijs Naber: “In de aanloop naar de repetitieperiode ben ik tot de conclusie gekomen dat ik de afgelopen jaren te veel hooi…
In a chock-full DeLaMar theatre, deputy director Robert Guijt presented the 2014 Dance Audience Award and Dance Photo of the Year on 23 February 2015. This fitted well with the festive premiere of Crazy Blues by winner International Dance Theatre. Many acquaintances from the dance world performed at the DeLaMar. 'Hans van Manen is sitting beautifully on Princess Beatrix's chair,' joked Guijt. The same...
After a nerve-wracking final and precise assessment of votes, the winners of the 2014 Dance Audience Award have been announced. Favourite Dance Performance is FADO of International Dance Theatre, Favourite Dancer is Merel Janssen of Introdans Ensemble for Youth.
Since the Amsterdam Uitmarkt is no longer run by the Uitburo but by a separate foundation, things have become a tad more commercial. The folder-fair-with-bands that has become the national opening of the cultural season over the past decades has to. The government has found art scary for a while now, usual suspects are pulling out as sponsors, and malaise is hitting...
A gala should be festive. So the Ballet Gala of Dancers' Fund '79 Foundation celebrates. On Monday 20 January 2014, the fund's 17th gala took place at the DeLaMar theatre in Amsterdam, Joop van den Ende's glamorous stronghold.
A few tips for a successful gala.
'Everseller' author Arthur Japin is to make a stage adaptation of his novel Vaslav, about the legendary Russian dancer Nijinksi. He is making the adaptation at the request of theatre patron Joop van den Ende, who is a big fan of the book. The theatre production goes into
Het grote publiek kent haar als de keiharde advocate Claire uit Gooise Vrouwen. Toneelliefhebbers kennen haar al langer als die actrice met die markante stem. Een diplomatendochter, geboren in Afrika, later opgegroeid in Bussum. Tjitske Reidinga durft er nu wel voor uit te komen:
The Utrecht Games (DUS), with its successful production August Oklahoma, immediately wins three nominations for the theatre awards to be handed out in September: Ria Eimers for best female lead, and Peter Bolhuis and Tjitsjke Reidinga compete for the prizes for best supporting actress. Percentage-wise, however, much more successful than DUS is De Kus, a production by Hummelinck Stuurman, because there the...
