The 39 Steps is more like an enhanced radio play. The difference is that a vast amount of imagination has already gone into it, so much so that it is easy to envisage the dashing hero leaping along the lofty girders of the Forth Bridge or running across the moors with the wind blowing through his hair. It’s like a radio play that provides you with a visual aids kit
Jan Toorop’s paintings are exhibited next to works by his talented daughter Charlie Toorop (1891-1955) and works of her son, artist Edgar Fernhout (1912-1974). Curator Marjan van Heteren uses Charlie as a link between Jan Toorop and Edgar Fernhout
The audience at The Hague’s cosy De Stamboom bar last night were not sure what they had come to see, nobody ever is. Ms Teper draws a fine line between being singer and performance artist. No two songs are alike, some are lyrical, almost poppy, others are aggressive growls performed in a Tom Waits type voice.

We normally expect to see dance performed in wide open spaces with uncluttered stages and any décor set on the perimeter to allow the dancers lots of room to move. So, for a piece of choreography to be presented in a confined and defined area seems counter-intuitive, perverse almost.
First seen in the Holland Dance Festival last year, this reprise of Summa fuses the unique talents of the Amsterdam Cello Octet and Brazilian choreographer Samir Calixto to the sublime music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. The all-white stage, set and costumes were offset by the seductive brown patina of the eight cellos as the musicians sat in an arc . . .
Once artists discovered the area and village, Dongen became one of the first Dutch artist-colonies. It became a kind of Dutch version of Barbizon, offering plenty inspiration; though some artists suffered flights of fancy.
