Toch weer gedoe rond MusicalMakers: Fleischmann wordt directeur ondanks bezwaar Raad voor Cultuur

Deze week kwam het nieuws binnen dat Andreas Fleischmann, de zeer gewaardeerde directeur van het Amsterdamse DeLaMar Theater, nu officieel directeur-bestuurder is geworden van Stichting MusicalMakers, de stichting die hij vorig jaar, een dag voor de deadline van de subsidieaanvragen voor vierjarige rijkssubsidie, had opgericht. En dat mag niet.

The BIS is dead, long live the Puppets

Let's just start with the good news: De Staat is a regular fixture in the Netherlands from now on. And so we are talking about the band De Staat. Who make fantastic music videos these days. They have been promoted from a four-year grant with the Performing Arts Fund to a four-year grant according to the Cultural Basic Infrastructure (BIS). With 55 other newcomers. All weighed... 

Shout out! The big fill-in for the new arts plan.

The Council for Culture has just proposed the new Basic Infrastructure (BIS), and it has become a very big, in traditional terms 'prosperous', baby. Since the Council is not allowed to name names, and can only list functions, we have already made a fill-in list here, in which we list (very briefly, because little time and not knowing about everything) which existing cultural... 

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)…

Baldwin Live

On Wednesday 1 August 2012, the Performing Arts Fund will announce the results of the lottery that granting arts subsidies has now become. Huge cuts are looming: companies and creators that by now seemed to be a permanent part of the Dutch arts landscape will disappear. Exactly what it will look like, we know

Musical makers critical of future musicals in the Netherlands: "It's really going wrong in our industry because of touring!"

"What we lose audiences massively with is that if we give seven shows a week, quietly three of them are so substandard that people say 'And now I won't go for three years'. What we need to do is put the performance level back on a structurally high level." One of the statements made by composer Jeroen Sleijfer during the lively roundtable discussion - with no table... 

Eindelijk antwoord op prangende vragen uit toneelgeschiedenis

Ooit geweten dat ‘De bruiloft van Kloris en Roosje’ in 1707 voor het eerst werd opgevoerd, en dat dit de voorloper is van de huidige oudejaarsconference?

Just when it was announced that musical production house M-Lab is in financial distress, there comes a helping hand from Dutch theatre critics. Indeed, the annual Prize of Criticism goes to the laboratory that produces musicals that almost always matter.
