How much is Enough?
Like in old times, the kitchen becomes the core of the house for its inhabitants, where each one can really experience his thoughts, fears, and feelings through the others'.


Could a discourse develop faster, if everyone was to be more critical and conscious in defining his and others’ limits? What about initiating this mechanism with the mutual involvement of preparing and eating pasta together? And what if this was considered a performance?

The pace of the performance is defined by the cooking.

The amount of time necessary to make pasta, and the nourishing aspect of the act itself, seem to us perfect tools to create a community, based on confrontation: in a discussion no one is right, and everyone’s perspective is necessary.

Throughout its duration, How much is Enough? questions any given statement and develops an agreement that is being perpetually shaped, in a continuous research, involving the community of artists and audience.

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu
(a person is a person through people)


In the particular situation of AIR5, we intend to touch the three fundamental themes of the festival, exploring the influence/relationship between Migration and Identity, Migration and Art, Migration and Artists.

If a Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep or Tango is your thing, then a new weekly program designed to quickly teach you the basics is starting this Saturday in Leidseplein. From 6pm-7pm come along to Studio Korte Leidse for a beginners’ class that will show you just how easy it can be. No previous dancing experience is required, as our expert instructor will demonstrate how the quickest way to learn is to have fun doing it.

If you prefer something that's going to get your hips moving, then the Latin workshop starting straight afterwards will soon have you knowing your Samba from your Rumba.

All ages and ability levels are welcome, and classes take place in a fun, friendly atmosphere where the emphasis is on enjoying yourself. You don’t even need a partner, so there’s no excuse to finally start using those two left feet for something other than standing on!

Reserve a place through our website at www.latinandballroom.com and each class will cost just 7 Euros, whilst signing up for both will cost just 10. You can also email us at info@latinballroom.com, or reach us by phone on 0681274449. There’s never been a better time to start learning those new moves you’ve always wanted.

See you on Saturday!
]]> http://www.expatriates.com/cls/6325204.html In Yonder Green Glen, we fall in with a troupe of travelling Commedia del Arte actors. They are from today but their high style and low humour are from the sixteenth century. The story line is the same as it as been for over 500 years. Rich old men plot to lure young Ladies into their bed chambers. Poor young men do exactly the same. Actually it seems that love is in the air and has intoxicated all the players.
Harlequin and Pierrot duel for the favours of Columbine, whilest Pantaloon, (dirty old man) desires Isabella and his son, Flavio,(handsome young lover) does also.
They are all here. El Dottore and his fantastic cures. Dashing El Capitano with his sword. Tough and cynical Brighella falling for Isabella's mother, a woman with a past, planning for the future.
Not polite company to journey forth with. As Columbine so charmingly sings:

We are back, we are back
Harlequin et Brighella
We are most rude
And often crude
This is our Novella!

(Ah yes, but as you will see, so much good, old fashioned fun.)
