In this audiosegment only a quarter of the entire conversation is used for braoadcasting but it does give an insight into the life and the mind of Gary Goldschneider. Raised in America and being a mutually talented musician and astrologer it was clear to me that his mathematically well organised mind has been helping him thoughout the last 70 years of his life.
Gary also played a short composition for me on his grand piano- as he says- the grandest grand piano of Amsterdam-which you can hear when we play it in the back of our conversation.
Interview was made for the English Breakfast radio by Alexander, Marc and Jamie.
In The Miscreants of Taliwood, Gittoes gathers together his most surprising cast of fellow artists yet (actors, dancers, musicians, video fans, and academics) and joins and empowers their creative endeavours in the face of extraordinary odds.
Almost a simple heroic tale: but Gittoes’ work is never simple, never a single thread or theme – he interweaves and works through a complexity of contemporary, historical and personal references, until the works are ‘loaded’ and at critical mass. —http://www.gittoes.com/

Deze zomer werd in Amsterdam voor de eerste keer het RAW Rhythm Festival georganiseerd.
Het festival vond plaats op vrijdag 31 juli en zaterdag 1 augustus 2009 in de zalen rond de Gashouder en in de zalen van het complex rond het Westergasterras op het terrein van de Westergasfabriek.
Het festival bood plaats aan circa 7.000 bezoekers per dag.
Het RAW Rhythm Festival wordt een vooruitstrevend live/dance festival waar de nieuwste acts op het gebied van dance-, hiphop-, soul-, en popmuziek een podium krijgen.
Het festival heeft 6 podia waar afwisselend populaire en innovatieve acts worden geprogrammeerd.

Een van de beste live acts was ongetwijfeld Nneka ( zie video hieronder), naast Roni Seize, Alice Russel en Ryan Leslie die een compleet nieuwe band had, die behoorlijk strak speelde- zelfs in de Gashouder.
Zie foto's boven.
Jongste bezoekers waren niet veel ouder dan 13 jaar en de oude rotten in het vak waren er ook te vinden. Zelfs Ted Langenbach werd gespot, die helaas maar heel kort aanwezig kon zijn. De sfeer was ontspannen en rijkelijk gevuld met acts en acties. De Pimp my Ride stand van MTV aan het begin van het terrein was een groot succes.
Volgend jaar nog beter dus.
Open air performances best suit our artistic qualities, as it allows us to play in a grand style - flamboyant and raw - to choose the height we play at, and to employ ingenious props. By playing on stilts, the show is visible to everyone in the crowd. Dynamic, extra-ordinary choreography, touchable nearness, and large rolling objects are other features of our shows. The crowd forms – as it were - a moving stage, so that the usual separation between audience and actors is lost. Surrounded by live music, spectators feel they become part of the story.
Theater Gajes started out as a street theatre duo in 1985. Today, it consists of 15 professional theatremakers, musicians, designers, and technical engineers. Their intensive cooperation leads to spectacular results.
In 2004, our first grand-scale theatre spectacle ‘Alice in Wonderland’ was warmly received at festivals in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and even Canada.
Gajes’ next large open-air production was ‘Don Quixote’, first performed in 2008 in cooperation with the ‘Deventer on Stilts Festival’, and ‘La Paperie’ from Angers. This eccentric adaptation of the famous novel surpasses ‘Alice’ in terms of size, poetic power, and impact.
Besides grand-scale productions, we also tour with two smaller-scale performances: the open air performance ‘Tuin der Lusten’ (Garden of Delights) and the walkabout act ‘Wanted’ .
Theater Gajes does not feel hampered by limitations set by language, culture, age or background. We prefer to play for organisations that do not charge admission fees, because we like to draw a motley crowd.
