Op 28 februari presenteert Pierre Audi in de stadsschouwburg het programma van het Holland Festival 2012. Wij zullen dat festival, net als in 2010 en 2011, op de voet volgen met onze online festivaldagkrant op www.dedodo.nl. Die dagkrant heeft inmiddels zijn bestaanrecht bewezen, nu steeds meer festivals met het Cultureel Persbureau willen samenwerken aan dit unieke initiatief. Aan de ‘product-range’…
He barely showed his face in recent months, rarely engaging in debate with artists or the public. Now that the mega cut in culture is law, and nothing can be changed about it until 2016, we can follow Halbe Zijlstra's victory lap again. Also on twitter.
Voor sommigen leken sociale media dé oplossing voor de manier waarop bedrijven hun waar aan de man kunnen brengen. Je verkoopt iets aan één persoon, en die persoon vertelt zijn goede ervaringen door in zijn of haar sociale netwerk. Zo zou je met relatief weinig inspanning veel mensen kunnen beïnvloeden. Niet dus. Vriendennetwerken op facebook zijn nauwelijks geïnteresseerd elkaars smaak.…
A wheel cannot be invented often enough. After all, someday something truly new will emerge. In marketing land, this is pretty much the constitution. That is why it is so moving to see how
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....
Entrepreneurship is in young theatre-makers' blood (...) A new theatre circuit seems to have emerged in recent years. More and more young groups, such as Stichting Nieuwe Helden, PSTheater and Circus Treurdier, work relatively independently of subsidies and almost always outside the theatre building. They seek out their audiences anywhere, whether on the street, by a canal or in a...
Tax benefits to be gained this year (...) 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 sector signs agreement on youth pass Eight umbrella organisations in the culture sector signed a covenant on Wednesday advocating the continued existence, albeit in modified form, of the Culture Card. It should remain free, but will henceforth only give discounts on cultural outings. The 15-euro credit will disappear because the state will no longer provide subsidies. Instead, students in the...
The crisis rages on and the Arab world is in flux, but in the documentary world, the time for big stories is over. At least that was the conclusion drawn by festival director Ally Derks at a press conference ahead of the 24th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (16-27 November). Unlike a decade ago, documentary filmmakers now focus...
Regisseur, actrice en theatervormgeefster Sarah Moeremans houdt een jaar lang kantoor in de hal van de Rotterdamse Schouwburg. Onder de titel “My First Camp” heeft zij haar intrek genomen in het voorhuis, om meer in contact te staan met de verschillende gebruikers en bezoekers in het gebouw en de wereld daar omheen. Is de publieke ruimte een wildernis geworden, die…
On Sunday evening 11 September, the VSCD Drama Awards, the VSCD Mime Prize, the VSCD Youth Theatre Awards and the AVRO Toneel Publieksprijs 2011 were presented at the Gala van het Nederlands Theater. And that you then know that VSCD stands for the Association of Theatre and Concert Hall Directors and AVRO for General Free Radio Broadcasting. The award for the best male lead of the past...
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…
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? Dankzij de theaterencyclopedie die vanaf 1 september online te vinden is, zijn deze en nog vele wetenswaardigheden te vinden. Het Theaterinstituut Nederland (TIN) is initiatiefnemer en levert een groot deel van de inhoud van…
Last year, it was still about 'a sense of belonging': the ability to feel at home somewhere, to know you belong somewhere. This year, the motto of the quirky Rotterdam festival De Internationale Keuze is almost diametrically opposed to that: parallel reality. Instead of one place offering warmth, the festival now says that place is there...
OK. A pilot. When Jeroen Stout lost his Wednesday film fork in Radio Kunststof on Radio 1 in December 2010, we made him an offer he could easily refuse: to do something like that with us. But that we would then look for a way that suits The Dodo. After all, audio online may be the...
Interesting things are happening these days. The digital revolution is beginning to have traces of a real revolution. No one has yet set themselves on fire, as in Tunisia, but more and more people are taking to the virtual streets to overthrow the old powers: after the record companies, which let themselves be overwhelmed by people downloading, and the newspapers, which let themselves be overwhelmed by people searching freely for information, it now seems to be the turn of book publishers.
On Thursday 14 April, the Springdance festival 2011 opens with the opening performance Sideways Rain by choreographer Guilherme Botelho and his company Alias in the Stadsschouwburg Utrecht. Springdance 2011 presents innovative and high-profile contemporary dance from around the world. Besides many premieres, the festival has an extensive fringe programme including street performances, lectures, an introduction to contemporary dance for budding...
Tomorrow begins The International Choice of The Rotterdam Theatre. A festival that for years has presented remarkable theatre from all over the world at the Maasstad's theatre in September. Except this year, that is, because the 'chest of quist' is being rebuilt and that will take some time. Not something with Amsterdam metro builders, but whether the official reopening on 2 October 2010 will be...
Then you just have to have Twan Huys. The presenter of Nova who managed to kill all Job Cohen's election ambitions in a few schoolmaster questions. He will be able to pull the same trick on Sunday 29 August with a few left-wing politicians and arts bobos in the traditional Uitmarkt debate in Paradiso.
Text Maarten Baanders (photo Herman Sorgeloos) After sensory labour had already been reduced to a minimum in Keeping Still - Part I and The Song, dance philosopher Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker confronts the most extreme reduction possible in life in the final part of the trilogy, 3Abschied: death. Her choice of music strikes again Der...
