Dodo Holland Festival journal becomes Dodo Holland Festival Hangout #HF12
We already have one episode on it, and it was of course a huge success, but right at the climax you have to start something new. That's why tonight at 22:30 we have a new thing: The Dodo Holland Festival Hangout. Live, interactive and online. Innovative, in other words, as you know it from us. You know them: those reporter trucks with metres of spaghetti...

The Dodo goes out of its way to tell you all about the Holland Festival 2012 #hf12
Top theatre from all corners of the world, big names we had never dared hope for, and a newsreel that we will broadcast at unexpected times. Festival day newspaper The Dodo, now a household name in festival land, is going all out at this year's Holland Festival. Of course. It is the dream of every blogger, professional or amateur, to be at the performances of the...
The Cultural Press Bureau goes full on for ten days with The Dodo at Springdance
It may be a crisis and the cultural winds may also be blowing from the wrong right corner, but that doesn't stop The Dodo from flying. The festival day newspaper we launched two years ago as a new commercial product is ready for another 10 days of Springdance. We're going to review a lot of performances, and compare even more. And we're going to make a journal. It...
Free: Festival diary Writers Unlimited 2012
They were great days, the four days we reported on Writers Unlimited (v/h Winternachten) in The Hague. We saw a new self-confident generation of writers from Africa, experienced debates and - in the foyer of The Hague's Theater a/h Spui - played for VJ during the salsa dancing class. Daniël Bertina and Wijbrand Schaap did their best to attend as many...
Holland Festival: diary of the 2011 edition
On 28 February, Pierre Audi will present the programme of the 2012 Holland Festival at the City Theatre. As in 2010 and 2011, we will follow that festival closely with our online festival daily newspaper at www.dedodo.nl. That daily newspaper has now proven its right to exist, as more and more festivals want to collaborate with the Cultural Press Agency on this unique initiative. To the 'product-range'...
PEN Award voor Iraanse oprichtster ‘Stop Stenigen voor Altijd’-campagne #wu12
Asieh Amini Ze woont inmiddels in Noorwegen, nadat ze haar vaderland Iran moest verlaten wegens eigen mening. Ze zat vijf dagen vast, en in de beruchte Evin-gevangenis in Teheran is dat een eeuwigheid. Nu is Asieh Amini vrij in een vreemd land, en krijgt ze van Oxfam-Novib de PEN-Award uitgereikt. Een mooie opening voor het Writers Unlimited Winternachtenfestival, dat met…
One hundred and thirty thousand visitors for the Cultural Press Office in 2011. The bar for 2012 is high.
That frightens us quite a bit ourselves. We knew that the Cultural Press Agency was doing quite well, but we didn't really think a reach of more than 100,000 people was possible. After all, we had done nothing in the way of marketing. Just posting content and not giving away free tickets. And only once something with a bare female breast in it. Enfin....
Rebellion and resignation hand in hand during beautiful opening weekend The International Choice at Rotterdam Theatre. #hechoice
Opinion pollsters take note: "People give the moderate answer to most questions they are asked in life. The characters in 'This is not a love story' are very ordinary, very average. In that, it clicks between those two. It's an ending where you feel an enormous satisfaction." Enthusiasm prevails after the opening weekend of The International Choice of the...
Hot and sunny weekend at Soesterberg airbase: time for new experiment with The Dodo
Het wordt met temperaturen boven de 25 graden een broeierige, maar ook unieke zomerdag, die 10e september. Het Cultureel Persbureau is die dag en zondag met 4 journalisten aanwezig op de voormalige Vliegbasis Soesterberg om verslag te doen van festival De Basis. Wanneer u daar komt, maakt u veel natuur, nog meer indrukwekkend oorlogsverleden en een stuk of wat theatervoorstellingen…
Rotterdam Theatre's International Choice has always been a personal choice
Annemie Vanackere Vorig jaar ging het nog om ‘a sense of belonging’: om het vermogen je ergens thuis te voelen, je ergens bij weten te horen. Dit jaar staat het motto van het eigenzinnige Rotterdamse festival De Internationale Keuze daar bijna lijnrecht tegenover: de parallelle werkelijkheid. In plaats van één plek die warmte biedt, zegt het festival nu dat die…
Cackling fresh location artists prepare for Festival DE BASIS
With a few creative friends and a nice budget, romp around in a playground of many tens of acres of pristine nature. Surrounded by the remains of military might. It automatically makes you go roaring. But that's how it goes sometimes. With art. So, to get right to the point: cuts are not always bad. For instance, divesting the...
Successful Holland Festival closes record edition amid uncertainty over future
Photo: Pierre Nydegger To conclude. The 2011 Holland Festival could well be historic. Not only was it the festival that attracted the most audiences for years, it was also the festival that took place while a minority government of populists, nationalists and materialists proclaimed the end of art subsidies. We therefore look back on a festival in which we were able to meet with...
#HF11: We chat with Jeroen Stout, Daniël Bertina, Fransien vd Putt and Wijbrand Schaap.

De Dodo herleeft voor Holland Festival editie 2011 #HF11
Deze week barst het Holland Festival los en wij zijn erbij. We maken met een flink team professionele journalisten een Dodo Festivaldagkrant, zoals we dat eerder ook deden voor bijvoorbeeld Springdance en De Internationale Keuze van de Rotterdamse Schouwburg. We volgen het festival op de voet om nieuws te brengen wanneer het zich voordoet. We gaan voorstellingen zien waar anderen…
De Dodo doet verslag van de 27e editie van Springdance
Sideways Rain – Guilhermo Botelho / Alias – foto Yves Genoud De 27e editie van Springdance in Utrecht is in volle gang.

Zo bezocht Fransien van der Putt de openingsvoorstelling Sideways Rain van de Braziliaan Guilhermo Botelho en de jazzy tapdansvoorstelling van…
