The story continues. Op 1 juli werd de BTW-verhoging van kracht, op 8 juli citeerde NRC Halbe Zijlstra dat ‘het niet de meest voldragen regeling’ van dit kabinet was, woorden die hij later nuanceerde tijdens kamervragen. Eind augustus kwam het Berenschot-rapport naar buiten met schrikbarende cijfers: de BTW-verhoging zou Nederland voornamelijk geld kosten in plaats van opleveren. Binnenhof TV Intussen werkten…

Het gebeurt niet zo heel vaak dat Nederlandse films de aandacht van het filmvakblad Screen International trekken. Nu de webeditie ScreenDaily toevallig twee besprekingen achter elkaar publiceert is het aardig daar iets uit te citeren. Onder ons Screen hoofdredacteur Mike Goodridge zag de Nederlandse Oscarkandidaat Sonny Boy en Marco van Geffens debuutfilm Onder ons (internationale titel Among Us) en kwam…

Nice, that secretary of state for hard rock and Tom Clancy. Mr Halbe Zijlstra-san has once again lived up to his change manager name in China. But in a slightly different way. In the land of eternally sealed mouths, he opened the Dutch stand at the book fair there, with a speech that once again rammed Dutch values into the Chinese. Anyway...

So up close, and so small occupied as at La Petite Bande, Bach's St John Passion comes in in a very distinctive way.

Gerlinde Sämann Ik ben geen kenner van de uitvoeringspraktijk van Bachs Johannes Passion en ken dat andere stuk, de Mattaheus Passion, vooral van een paar tv-fragmenten en verregaande bewerkingen zoals die bij Platels Pitié. Verwacht van mij dus geen oordeel over hoe goed de versie was, die op 5 april 2011 in het Concertgebouw te zien en te horen was,…

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...

Between 21 and 30 January 2011, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam will host the Flamenco Biennial, a music and dance fest around that mythical Spanish primal music that leaves no one untouched. A style of music, moreover, that developed in parallel with the history of the Iberian peninsula, where the culture of the Indian Roma gypsies came together with that of the...

Of course, we sometimes miss one. And of course Caro Emerald is cool and Graffity 6 is new. But there is more culture in the Netherlands than many users of mainstream media realise. Deep into the 1980s, sports halls were already full for Rai musicians, and that was years before Cheb Khaled penetrated the charts with Aïsha. The Cape Verdean community in Rotterdam...

In pak, met dierenmaskers op, poseren vijf acteurs op het podium. Ze stellen een beer, konijn, hert, haan en aap voor. Vanuit deze ‘freeze’ beginnen zij dierengeluiden te maken en te bewegen. Een ritmische performance volgt. Geboeid, maar verward, bekijkt het publiek de vervreemdende dans. Wat hebben die dieren toch met de oorlog in Irak te maken? Net als je je begint af te vragen of je wel in de goede zaal zit, zetten de spelers hun maskers af en geven het antwoord: ‘Heeft u zich ooit afgevraa...

“Ik ben achtenvijftig.” Plompverloren onthult Saskia Lemming (Oda Spelbos) haar grootste geheim aan echtgenoot en uitgerangeerde volkszanger René Lemming (Peter Bolhuis). Hij trouwde twaalf jaar geleden met haar, in de veronderstelling dat ze een jonge blom was. Op zijn beurt laat hij weten dat hij ‘Jij bent het neusje van mijn zalm’, zijn nummer één hit, eigenlijk voor een andere vrouw heeft geschreven. De bom barst in realityshow ‘De Lemmings’. Of eigenlijk: op het podium in De Balie, waar ...

“Wij zijn kunstenaars. Acteren is een roeping. Niet iedereen begrijpt dat. Soms is het een eenzaam bestaan.” Begripvol, bijna moederlijk, spreekt Shelley Mitchell een groep Nederlandse acteurs toe in De Balie. De Amerikaanse actrice en oprichtster van The Actors Centre of San Francisco laat hen tijdens een driedaagse masterclass kennis maken met ‘method acting’. Niet doen alsof, maar één worden met je personage. Een manier van acteren die veel bekende acteurs een Oscar heeft opgeleverd. Denk a...

On 2 September 2010, actress, writer, theatre and television producer Joan Nederlof opened the Dutch Theatre Festival with a speech that was as entertaining as it was provocative. As it was her turn to pronounce the annual 'State of the Theatre', Nederlof, born in 1962, seized the opportunity to call on her own generation to take a stand in the social debate. She did so in her own relatable way, known for her roles on TV (Deer Park) and in the theatre (Inside Out):
