In 1947, eight theatre groups turned up uninvited to perform at the (then newly formed) Edinburgh International Festival.

KIDS // Family How-to: make a stop-frame animation - Royal Academy of Arts (Free online activity & tutorial)

Una animación cuadro por cuadro es parecida a un folioscopio o flip book –donde al cambiar las páginas visualizas una figura de caricatura moviéndose o una historia sucediendo. Debido a que cada imagen es ligeramente diferente, al ver las imágenes en una sucesión rápida, parece que la figura estuviera moviéndose. En esta actividad, tomarás una serie de fotografías y jugarás con ellas, ordenando una luego de otra para hacer una animación. Entre cada fotografía que tomes, realizarás un movimiento en las piezas de papel para que, los personajes y la historia, cobren vida.

A stop-frame animation is like a flip book – where you flip through the pages to see a cartoon figure moving or a story happening. Because each image is slightly different, it looks like the figure is moving when you look at the images in quick succession. In this activity, you take a series of photos and play them one after the other to make an animation. Between each photo you take, you move paper pieces in your animation so the characters and story come to life.

Alexander Korda, producer, director, movie mogul, and financier, lived a life that reads like a Hollywood script - Hungarian peasant farm boy becomes multi-millionaire and is eventually knighted by King George VI. Along the way he gained and lost fortunes and companies yet somehow still managed to live far beyond his means; was involved in espionage for Winston Churchill during World War II; and almost single-handedly revived the British film industry.

THEATRE // I, Cinna (The Poet). Shakespeare's Julius Caesar told through the eyes of a jigging fool- Royal Shakespeare Company (Free online streaming)
.
Cinna es un personaje secundario en la obra Julio César que es asesinado por la muchedumbre simplemente por llamarse de la misma manera que uno de los conspiradores. Este monólogo explora la experiencia de Cinna sobre la inestabilidad política entorno a él, así como el propósito de la escritura y la forma (si uno así lo decide) de comprometerse en el activismo.
.
Cinna, el poeta, apenas dice una palabra en la obra de teatro de Shakespeare Julio César, antes de ser confundido por otra persona y ser asesinado por una muchedumbre enardecida. Se trata del personaje desafortunado de la obra. En esta ocasión Cinna busca al protagonista de su próximo poema e invita a la audiencia, a escribirlo junto con él, en vivo.

.
I, Cinna (The Poet) is a drama written and directed by Tim Crouch and starring Jude Owusu, inspired by the RSC's 2012 production of Julius Caesar, directed by Gregory Doran.
.
Cinna is a minor character in Julius Caesar, who is killed by the mob simply for having the same name as one of the conspirators. This powerful one-man play explores Cinna's experience of the political unrest going on around him as well as the purpose of writing, and how (and if) to engage in activism.
.
The poet Cinna hardly says a word in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar before he’s mistaken for someone else and torn to pieces by an angry mob. He’s Shakespeare’s unluckiest character. Now Cinna searches for the subject of his next poem and invites us, the audience, to write with him, live.

Fry nos habla honestamente sobre sus propios intentos de suicidio y su batalla contra el trastorno bipolar, y cómo la música de Beethoven le ayudó a recuperarse de sus etapas más difíciles. También comenta sobre su trabajo de activismo, cómo sus conflictos personales lo han impulsado a combatir la homofobia y a explorar los cimientos de sus propias convicciones y valores. Explorando música, arte y salud mental, Fry intenta responder la pregunta de si “¿Puede el arte realmente ser utilizado para cambiar el mundo?”.

Join writer, actor, comedian and campaigner Stephen Fry in conversation with journalist Chris Gunness on his podcast channel Nothing Concrete at the Barbican Centre for The Art of Change, a four-part series taking Beethoven’s Heiligenstadt Testament to spark conversations on music, art, mental health and the healing power of art.
.
Throughout these four episodes, Stephen Fry goes deep into Beethoven’s inner struggles, musing on the link between genius and mental illness and exploring the relationship between music, art, and mental health. Fry speaks honestly about his own suicide attempts and battle with bipolar disorder, and how Beethoven’s music helped in his recovery from his lowest points. He also discusses his advocacy work, how his personal struggles encouraged him to take on homophobia and to explore the foundations of his profound convictions and values. Exploring music, art, and mental health, Fry attempts to answer the question ‘can art really be used to change the world?'

Companions, dancers, actors and musicians accompany him in this journey, helping him to tell stories and reactivate collective and personal memories. In the current climate, his work, which explores themes of connection, community and fragility of the body, has added poignancy and resonance.

DANCE // Dust by Akram Khan - English National Ballet (Free online streaming)
¡Celebremos el #DíaInternacionaldelaDanza! Les compartimos esta sorprendente producción del multi-premiado bailarín y coreógrafo inglés Akram Kham, quien, en conjunto con Tamara Rojo, directora artística del English National Ballet, desarrollaron la coreografía de Dust. Una puesta en escena acerca del empoderamiento de la mujer durante la guerra, en especial cuando esta se convierte en la principal mano de obra de un país. Disponible desde el miércoles 29 de abril (1:00 pm Ciudad de México) hasta el viernes 1 de mayo (1:00 pm Ciudad de México).
.
En palabras de Akram Khan: “Esta obra se inspira en dos cosas. Primero, el concepto de una trinchera, en los hombres jóvenes y viejos yendo juntos a las trincheras y desapareciendo. La otra parte substancial está inspirada en las mujeres. En la Primera Guerra Mundial hubo un enorme desplazamiento hacia las mujeres. Se necesitaban armas para la guerra, se necesitaba una enorme fuerza de trabajo. Considero que este cambio de roles fue muy interesante. Las mujeres estaban dejando ir padres, esposos e hijos; sabiendo que podrían perderlos. Sin embargo, estaban haciendo armas que matarían a los padres, esposos e hijos de alguien más. No importaba en qué lado te encontrabas, ambos bandos experimentaron la pérdida y la muerte. Sin embargo, para que alguien pudiera vivir, alguna otra persona tenía que poner su vida en la línea de batalla. Ese elemento cíclico era lo que deseaba explorar.”

Let´s celebrate the #InternationalDanceDay! We share with you this amazing production by the awarded British dancer and choreographer Akram Khan, whom, together with Tamara Rojo, Artistic Director of the English National Ballet, teamed up to develop the choreography of Dust. A dance play about the empowerment of women in the war, especially as they became the main workforce in the country. Dust will be available from 7pm BST on Weds 29 April and then on-demand for 48 hours.
.
In Akram Khan’s words: “The piece is inspired by two things. First, the concept of a trench, of the young men and old men all going into trenches, and disappearing. The other substantial part was inspired by the women. In WW1 there was a huge social shift towards women. They needed weapons made for the war, they needed a huge workforce. I felt this shift in role was interesting. They knew they would be letting go of fathers, husbands, and sons; they might lose them. Yet they were making weapons that would kill others’ fathers, husbands, and sons. It didn’t matter which side you were on – they both felt loss and death. But in order for someone to live someone else was putting their life on the line. That cyclical thing was what I wanted to explore.”

El balance entre su papel como monarca y su afecto por el impulsivo Earl de Essex se pone a prueba cuando este último comienza a crecer sus aspiraciones.

DANCE // Acis and Galatea - The Royal Opera/The Royal Ballet #OurHouseToYourHouse (Online free streaming)
En 2019, para conmemorar el 250 aniversario de la muerte de Handel, La Royal Opera House y el Royal Ballet realizaron una nueva producción de la ópera Acis y Galatea. Esta ópera es la historia de amor entre la ninfa Galatea, el pastor Acis y el celoso gigante Polifemo. Se basa en un episodio escrito por el poeta romano Ovidio en su libro La Metamorfosis.
George Frideric Handel fue un compositor alemán, que estudió en Italia y vivió en Inglaterra. Los ingleses, específicamente la Reina Anne y su sucesor el Rey Jorge, disfrutaron de la compañía del compositor y de su música. En 1727, se convirtió en ciudadano inglés y se culturalizó dejando atrás su nombre Georg Friedrich Händel. Acis y Galatea fue la ópera más interpretada durante la vida del compositor.
