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

Halbe Zijlstra heeft geschiedenis geschreven.

Na de presentatie van de Rotterdamse en Haagse kunstadviezen, en een paar dagen tot weken voor de harde oordelen van de Raad voor Cultuur, en een paar maanden voor de vernietigende rapporten van het Fonds Podiumkunsten, begint duidelijk te worden hoe ingrijpend de Nederlandse cultuursector geraakt wordt

Slack start to art lottery, production houses don't fire, Krabbedans, Rivierenland Library, MuZIEum et al.

Poor economy hinders new art lottery The business market is not yet warming up to the National Art Lottery launched in July. The organisation is looking for sponsors, but the poor economic climate is playing tricks on the lottery. (...) The number of cultural organisations that applied to supply lottery tickets actually exceeded expectations (...) Only when there are enough sponsors will the...

Performing Arts Fund announces plans; institutions must perform with performances

Since the decision in June to reduce the BIS, many eyes have focused on the Performing Arts Fund, which has an annual budget of €60 million to give away. However, the Fund is also facing a cut: the budget for the multiannual scheme will be reduced by 40% from 40 to 24.5 million euros. The multiannual scheme is meant for... 

'Conceptual thundering won't get you far in London': guest column Teunkie v.d. Sluijs

"I can fire anyone here. Except the actors." Sam Walters, artistic director of London production house the Orange Tree Theatre does not mince words. "Everyone in the office could leave. The directors too. But without actors no performance." The actor is unequivocally central to this theatre. As a director, you only prove yourself here when you get top performances out of your... 

Rutteleaks 3: we weten nu hoe kaal het er de komende jaren uit gaat zien: decimering cultuur en bibliotheken, regionale omroepen ontzien

We hadden zelf al het nodige researchwerk gedaan, en toen bleek er ook iets naar de Tweede Kamer gestuurd te zijn, waarin nog veel meer cijfers stonden. We vroegen die cijfers op en schrokken ons een klein tot middelgroot hoedje. Na 2012, wanneer het huidige kunstenplan afloopt en na een jaar van nietsdoen en afwachten voor de hele sector een… 

"RutteLeaks": Prime minister and state secretary don't know their own figures: income requirements for arts institutions already met in 2007 and most subsidy already going to successful institutions

We dachten al dat er iets niet klopte, toen Mark Rutte in zijn door velen bejubelde krachtdadige optreden in Buitenhof sprak van ‘al die lege zalen met 10 mensen op de eerste rij’. Ok, hij was zelf al jaren niet meer geweest, maar volgens zijn Staatssecretaris Halbe Zijlstra was de leegte in ieder geval in Den Haag schrijnend, wist Rutte… 

National Travel Opera possibly first victim of culture cuts

The rapid austerity operation of at least 200 million on the cultural sector has yet to be fleshed out, but one thing is already clear.
