Stop Making Sense Festival

August 30th, 2010

Natural Born Killer

The inaugural edition of Stop Making Sense Festival has all the makings of a perfect getaway.
Located on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, the August crowds will be gone, but the weather and ambiance remain summer-like. British band Django Django heads up the live portion, and alt rockers Joana and the Wolf will knock your socks off. Detroit techno DJ Theo Parrish gets the dance party going.
What does make sense? A Holiday/Festival combination.

Creamfields Festival

August 23rd, 2010

Tiesto

If you are the clubbing kind, or if you just really like to dance, Creamfields Festival is for you.
Whether it is trance, trip-hop or electro-pop that gets you moving, it’s all here for two non-stop days of electronic music.
The mighty dutchman Tiësto returns to the festival (and no, he’s not dead), while French DJ David Guetta headlines the Main Stage.
Bodies in motion, laser light shows, and music as a sound track for your life.
As Tiësto urges his audiences, it’s time to “Make some noise!”

Edinburgh International Festival

August 16th, 2010

Pina Bausch Company

“One of the great achievements of British life,” or given the international reach, for anyone’s life.
This year the Edinburgh International Festival features a program drawing on New World influences. Samoan choreographer Lemi Ponifasio and his company MAU perform two powerful dance pieces that ask about our role on this planet. A world premiere from the National Theatre of Scotland, Caledonia explores the disastrous plan to found a Scottish colony in Panama. The Simon Bolivar String Quartet once again shows the beauty of El Sistema.
And, if you’ve missed what the rest of the art world has been celebrating, you can catch Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal, Lee Breur and Bob Telson’s Gospel at Colonus, the Wooster Group’s take on Tennesse Williams, Meredith Monk, and Chile’s Teatro Cinema to name just a few of the hundreds of events across opera, dance, theatre, music, talks and workshops.
