De cultuursector kan best nog wat beter luisteren naar het publiek dat nu wegblijft. 

Vandaag in Trouw een paar nuttige tips aan cultuurbrengers. Het zijn reacties op de lezersvraag van een paar dagen terug, over waarom de zalen leeg blijven in onze musea, concertgebouwen en theaters. Vijf reacties zijn opgenomen, en ze zijn stuk voor stuk uitstekend. Ze tonen ook iets aan, en dat is dat de gretigheid, waarmee de zalen door de directies… 

Jam-packed opening weekend of Festival Circolo - Audiences' ears and eyes are in short supply during first weekend of Netherlands' biggest circus festival

Na twee jaar van dromen en plannenmaken, is het vandaag eindelijk zover: Festival Circolo – het grootste circusfestival van Nederland – is terug! Van 22 tot en met zondag 31 oktober verandert het Tilburgse Leijpark in een oase vol spektakel, acrobatiek en humor. Omlijst door de prachtige herfsttinten van het park, worden bezoekers getrakteerd op modern circus van internationaal topniveau.… 

Museum association sounds alarm: even strong museums will not get out of the one-and-a-half without support

De #unmuteus-optochten van afgelopen weekend zouden je kunnen doen geloven dat, zodra het weer kan, de cultuurwereld in minder dan geen tijd uit de ellende is. De tienduizenden die de straat opgingen, bevolken snel weer de zalen, en met iets meer water bij het bier, en iets duurdere muntjes, is de nacht- en evenementenbranche – die er ook voor de… 

NTF Pro: professionals zoeken naar houvast op Nederlands Theaterfestival.

Wie bang is – wegens het zijn van witte man of vrouw – dat de nazaten van slaafgemaakten hen komen bestraffen wegens grove schuld aan de gevolgen van de inmiddels beruchte VOC Mentaliteit, kan weer een beetje rustiger gaan slapen. Tijdens de eerste dag van het Nederlands Theaterfestival, donderdag 2 september in Amsterdam, klonken verrassend verzoenende geluiden toen het over… 

Daan Roosegaarde falls through. But what about Zara?

There is a bit of a buzz about Daan Roosegaarde. Again, we might say, because Daan Roosegaarde, it turns out, cannot be described as a creator of original work, but as someone with a rather remarkably sensitive antenna for other people's ideas. Which he then presents as his own work. From the article in the Volkskrant on this, one and... 

A tribunal to prosecute intergenerational climate crimes: the Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC)

The Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC) is a collaboration between Indian writer, lawyer and activist Radha D'Souza and Dutch artist Jonas Staal, produced by Framer Framed, Amsterdam. The project consists of a large-scale installation in the form of a tribunal prosecuting intergenerational climate crimes. The tribunal's inauguration will take place on 24 September 2021. From 28... 

Theatre Festival Boulevard provided a stage for the stories we hear too little. #tfboulevard

According to Linde van Schuppen, philosopher and linguist, medics do not really listen to people with psychosis. At least, they do listen to someone suffering from obvious delusions, but that is to establish that the person is indeed off the track. 'But, how then?" is the question a psychiatrist or neurologist is not trained to answer, she argues. That is why she is doing her PhD. 

TOBIAS KOKKELMANS NEW DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR NEDERLANDS THEATRE FESTIVAL AND AMSTERDAM FRINGE FESTIVAL

Vandaag maakte de Raad van Toezicht bekend dat Tobias Kokkelmans per 1 september is aangesteld als de nieuwe directeur/bestuurder van Stichting de Theaterdagen, organisator van het Nederlands Theater Festival, Amsterdam Fringe Festival, NTFJong en het verdiepingsplatform voor professionals NTF-Pro.

This year's Theatre Festival Boulevard feels greener than usual - and you'll notice it in the performances #tfboulevard

The permanent site of Boulevard's festival centre has largely turned into a construction site this year. This forced the organisers to move to Zuiderpark. Although this is a bit outside the city centre, it is much more spacious and green than the Parade square. It gives the festival a nice feeling of air, space and proximity to the... 

'You don't know where you stand.' Non-visitors of theatre make it clear where art goes wrong

The vast majority of Dutch adults never go to the theatre. Interestingly enough, the question among theatre people is never really about why people don't go to the theatre. After all, our arts sector is a supply market. At an art school, you are not trained to please the public, but to express your most individual emotion. And then preferably... 

A danced ode to a Polish harpsichordist - sounds inaccessible, but Jan Martens makes it compelling #tfboulevard

I have seen a lot of genre mash-ups in my lifetime. But I think a danced documentary about a musician was a first for me. The focus of choreographer Jan Martens in his new dance solo Elisabeth Gets Her Way is the famous harpsichordist Elisabeth Chojnacka. The Polish left for Paris at the age of 23. There she set her sights on... 

Benjamin Verdonck renews, for a moment, your view of the world. At Theatre Festival Boulevard #tfboulevard

One of the things that make Boulevard so special in the Dutch festival landscape is its generous focus on Belgian performances. Where Dutch theatres programme less and less work from across the southern borders, Boulevard continues to offer a stage to a large number of Belgian makers. Learning to live together This produces very varied work again this year. At the heart of the festival is... 

Nerd podcast #s2e1: On the necessary lightness of something heavy. A conversation about reviews and witches with Club Gewalt #tfboulevard

There is a huge amount happening in theatre, this summer, as many summer festivals have special corona editions where they show a lot of what was made in attic rooms last year during the forced closure of theatres. One such show was Die Hexe, by Club Gewalt, a fresh point theatre band/theatre collective that is/was showing at Theatre Festival Boulevard this summer. Nerd... 

Why laughter is best left to us more often: Joseph Toonga teaches theatre rage #tfboulevard

Think Pussy Riot, think Rammstein, maybe think Nina Hagen before she found Jesus and mix that up nice and fierce. Then you get something that is basically an insane festival act. Raging female punk in a beer- and smoke-soaked nightclub, ferocious moshpits full of people who really have something to dance out of their souls. It's all in there... 

Better listening, watching, feeling, smelling and tasting thanks to Theatre Festival Boulevard #tfboulevard

We don't look upward enough. Maybe we do a quick glance at the horizon to see if that shower is really going to ruin our terrace afternoon, but that's not looking for the sake of looking. And I was able to do that thanks to the people of BLOOS. In Bossche Zuiderpark, they have a... 

Unaccustomedness was to be expected at this rare summer festival #TFBoulevard

For a year and a half, there was hardly any playing, festival tents remained in mothballs and artists were busy doing living room concerts or attic sessions on Zoom. Now everything is allowed out again and the discharge is just barely there. Unaccustomedness characterises the fresh start of Theatre Festival Boulevard, which has moved to a park south of downtown Bossche for the next few years,... 

PODCAST: Joseph Toonga at Theatre Festival Boulevard: 'My daughters help me bring empathy to Hiphop' (English)

This podcast is recorded in English. For those who do not speak the language, or who do not have time to listen to the full podcast, here are some quotes. 'Originally I didn't have a title. Someone came up with 'Born to' and then I thought it would be nice to put 'manifesto' after it. After all, it is about appearing,... 

PODCAST - Naomi Velissariou's permanent quest: 'I wonder if I should do interpretation or connection as an artist.'

Naomi Velissariou (1984) zou tijdens het Bossche Festival Boulevard 2021 eigenlijk met meer voorstellingen staan. Dit jaar zou haar hele trilogie ‘Permanent Destruction’ in een setting als clubrave worden uitgevoerd. Woest muziektheater, gebaseerd op toneelauteurs Sarah Kane en Heiner Müller, en afgesloten met het meer ingetogen werk ‘Pain against Fear’. Alle delen zijn lovend ontvangen door publiek en pers, maar… 

Amsterdam Museum runs conversational campaign for Golden Coach

Het Amsterdam Museum voert een vernieuwende campagne voor de tentoonstelling De Gouden Koets in samenwerking met verschillende bureaus en creatieven. Het delen van kennis en het opstarten van een nationaal gesprek over het controversiële rijtuig is het doel. Hoofd Communicatie & Marketing van het Amsterdam Museum Maurice Seleky legt uit waarom hiervoor gekozen is: ‘’De tentoonstelling De Gouden Koets vertelt… 

The NUT delivers splendour with Never Work Again.

On the day that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the world's Facebook, announced his launch to the 'Metaversum', in order to trounce his collegatechies Bezos, Musk and Branson, who had only had a little sniff of the Universe, I attended the performance 'Never work again' by the Nieuw Utrechts Toneel in Utrecht Leidsche Rijn. In these times of lockdown and... 

Judith Uyterlinde (World Editions) • Animatie sluit goed aan op het artistieke en fictionele karakter van onze romans

Net als in de animatiesector is het boekenvak enorm divers ingericht. Binnen Nederland zijn ca. 4500(!) uitgeverijen actief. Van koken en bakken tot zelfhulp, van feit tot fictie, er wordt ontzettend veel geschreven en uitgegeven in Nederland. Maar er is ook een uitgever, World Editions, die wel vanuit Nederland werkt, maar zich richt op de Engelse markt. Zij vertalen bestaande… 

Ilay den Boer pushes boundary between theatre and journalism with 'Solomon's Judgement'

Je Maintiendrai. Holland's motto of arms ('Ik zal handhaven') adorns the beautiful hall of Utrecht's old Post Office, now Library. The motto also watched over the premiere of the performance 'Solomon's Judgement' with which Ilay den Boer now returns to the public. After all, he was not here for a while. He worked for just under a year at the IND, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service,...

Michiel Peeters (TivoliVredenburg) - We want to make visual art a more prominent part of our programme

Public space is dressed up with visualisation, music video and art in many places, including TivoliVredenburg. Either via projection mapping on buildings during events, or via LED panels in shop windows and abris, but also as digital art during performances and lobbies in theatres. In TivoliVredenburg, in the heart of Utrecht, they even create separate events for it. Canvas is a programme that...

The bizarre world of Euripides Laskaridis - Julidans opens with guts

After a year of forced inactivity, Julidans kicked off yesterday under the slogan Never Stop Dancing. And so do the wondrous creatures that populate Elenit, the opening night in the hands of Euripides Laskaridis. His Elenit is a universe of grotesque and sometimes endearing characters held hostage by a huge windmill on stage. Against their will, they carry on, or...
