Halbe Zijlstra: 'nothing to do with local arts policy'
Halbe Zijlstra is proud of his policy, and keen to come and tell it in front of the entire cultural sector. So on Sunday 26 August, he appeared on stage during the annual 'Paradiso Debate' to reiterate how well things had gone with the 200 million cut in the arts sector. He praised the resilience of the affected art world, and would be happy to do the same again.
‘Soms slaat het verlangen niet gezien te worden om in een overdaad aan exhibitionisme.’ – Yasmeen Godder over The Toxic Exotic Disappearance Act
Ze heeft het druk gehad. Hoogzwanger werkte Yasmeen Godder (Jeruzalem, 1973) aan haar eerste choreografie voor Batsheva Dance Company. In een maand tijd stampte ze onder de vleugels van Batsheva haar nieuwe voorstelling The Toxic Exotic Disappearance Act uit te grond, en beviel tussendoor van een gezonde dochter. scenefoto Voor de derde keer presenteert de Israëlische choreografe Yasmeen Godder haar…
Benefit Giving Act, cultural budgets, Brabant, Amsterdam, Arnhem, Eindhoven, Goes, Utrecht et al.

With effect from 2012, under the new Giving Act, there is an additional tax facility for donations (incidental or via periodic donations) to charitable institutions (non-profit organisations) designated as cultural institutions. Those cultural donations may be multiplied by a factor of 125 per cent for the gift deduction. This...
Culture day: not a penny for Oriëntalis, no brake on Amsterdam cutbacks and Vlissinger library unsaleable
PVV-provinciebestuurder Faber eerder dit jaar over het voormalig Bijbels Museum, nu Orientalis: "Ik heb geen 20 miljoen euro nodig om met een moslim te praten. Ook niet om met een jood of christen te praten overigens. De PVV heeft al een hekel aan subsidies, maar als het iets met de islam te maken heeft geven we niets." Staatssecretaris geeft museumpark…
IDFA 2011: Ramon Gieling, Frank Scheffer and the magic of music
Coincidence? The two Dutch documentaries in the main competition of the IDFA documentary festival both explore what music can mean to people. Two films that also complement each other perfectly - one starts from the perspective of the listener, the other from the musician. In About Canto, Ramon Gieling outlines the profound influence that Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato...

Sculpted Ovation for 'ingenious' conductor Iván Fischer
"Programmatic ingenuity goes hand in hand with Fischer's ebullient and finely crafted performances". So when someone says that about you, you have earned a prize. So that is what the jury of formerly the Classical Music Prize thought of Iván Fischer, the Hungarian-born conductor who was therefore awarded the 'Ovation' on Monday 17 October 2011. And so then the 'Ovation'...
New Culture Council president? 'Van Klink creates a crisis himself so he can then solve it'
Pim van Klink is his name. He has been popping up everywhere lately. Especially when the malign subsidy orientation of the cultural sector needs to be pointed out, every medium calls Van Klink first. Last week, he once again threw his hobbyhorse into the henhouse in the NRC and was invited to join Buitenhof. And according to our trench-coat-clad...
Argentine lives inexorably turn to destruction at Mariano Pensotti's hands
Turntables and theatre have something in common. Especially in recent years, theatre-goers increasingly run the risk of facing a so-called rotating stage. After Johan Simons made use of this technical style figure in his direction of Hiob at the Munich Kammerspiele and Christoph Schlingensief made the stage turn spectacularly in his swan song Mea Culpa, it is now...
Prize winners Go Short: Swedish Incident by a Bank best short fiction

The award for best short fiction went to Incident by a Bank by Swedish director Ruben Östlund. He took a failed 2006 bank robbery as the starting point for...
Rutteleaks 3: we now know how barren it will look in the coming years: decimate culture and libraries, spare regional broadcasters
We had done the necessary research work ourselves, and then it turned out that something had also been sent to the House of Representatives, which contained many more figures. We asked for those figures and were shocked. After 2012, when the current arts plan expires and after a year of inaction and wait-and-see for the entire sector, a...
Peter Van Straaten wins Inktspot Prize 2010 with strikingly placed crucifix.
'The drawing is literally and figuratively striking, painfully comic and wry: it brings tears and laughter at the same time. The combination of the boy's peaceful pose with the cruel assault on his body lingers in your mind. The print needs no text; it could appear in any European, even global newspaper, so powerful and universal is...
Anything to get amateurs into the stands: money for 'Dance Gardens', local residents and the Concert Hall
pr-foto van Zina neemt de Wijk, vorig jaar uitgevoerd in Groningen Ongeveer 8 miljoen Nederlanders doen iets met kunst. Ze hebben muziekles, macrameeën plantenhangers, verven borden of zetten kerstkaarten in elkaar. Maar ze spelen ook toneel, zingen in een koor, maken deel uit van een hiphopcrew of death metal-band. Dat deze beoefenaren van amateurkunst niet automatisch ook vaste bezoekers zijn…
NNT's 11 minutes not only makes you lose the desire to laugh, but all lust. My wife regrets that. #tf2010
Ola Mafaalani. That's a very fierce one. So you can never ignore that. The human is so full of passion and emotion that all her stage work, because she is a director, cannot possibly leave you cold. At least, so it was until recently, with me personally finding her last play at Toneelgroep Amsterdam 'Hemel boven Berlijn' the most beautiful, because it was also the most...
