Podcasts about vertical city

Deze maand komt de podcast live vanaf de expositie Vertical City's in het Keilepand. We spreken met Folkert van Hagen, architect bij Group A Architecs, en Harm Tilman, schrijver van het boek Rotterdam Wolkenkrabberstad. We spreken over hoe we meer mensen in de stad kunnen laten wonen. Zijn torens daarvoor een optie? En hoe doe je dat als je duurzaamheid als uitgangspunt neemt? En hoe zwaar moet dat wegen? We spreken op de expositie ook nog de geestelijk vader van de maquettes Harrie Hoek over hoe hij tot het idee kwam. En we treffen Willem van Genugten. Zijn CarbonLab onderzoekt hoe we zonder CO2-uitstoot kunnen bouwen, dé voorwaarde om het klimaatakkoord van Parijs na te kunnen komen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As promised, the KOKO Crew took on the Hong Kong Sevens and some may say we lost, but we maintain the dragon is slain. Thanks to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Cathay Pacific and Ovolo Hotels for giving the show an experience of a lifetime, we went to the Sha Tin Racecourse, saw the city lights on a Aqua Luna Junk Boat, enjoyed some delicious food at the Stanley Street Dai Pai Dong, took in the views from The Peak and drank in all the red hot rugby action from the 10s and the 7s. With the Hong Kong Sevens being one of rugby's Meccas we were inundated with hall-of-fame guests including Dan Carter, Victor Matfield, Schalk Burger and Duane Vermeulen. Plus, we also jagged a few current superstars Maddi Levi, Charlotte Caslick and Michael Hooper throughout the course of the weekend for a chat. This show is cover to cover action, laughs and a smattering of debauchery, as the lads tackled the Vertical City. To cap off the show we have delivered a second instalment of ‘KOKO Carnage' that will leave our Melbourne adventure in its wake. So please sit back, relax and pour yourself a stiff drink, as this will leave your nerve endings fried.

In this dialogue Prof Christo Doherty speaks to Professor Bruce Barton the Director of the University of Calgary's School of Creative and Performing Arts, and the Co-Artistic Director (with Pil Hansen) of Vertical City, an interdisciplinary performance hub they co-founded in Toronto in 2007. Bruce is a teacher and theorist of artistic research and is also a top creative practitioner. He has extensive experience as a director, playwright, dramaturg, and designer with numerous intermedial performance companies across Canada and internationally. In addition he has published widely and edited both major peer-reviewed and professional journals and is the editor/contributor of seven books, most recently the seminal collections, Performance as Research: Methodology, Knowledge, Impact in 2017 and At the Intersection between Art and Research in 2010. Bruce has also been very active in scholarly organisations. He was the founder and co-convenor of the “Articulating Artistic Research” Seminar at the Canadian Association for Theatre Research,IFTR, which he began in 2012. He is also a co-convenor of the Performance as Research Working Group of the International Federation for Theatre Research and the Artistic Research Working Group of Performance Studies international (PSi). It was his involvement with these organisations that brought him to Africa last month where he participated in the first African IFTR Conference in Ghana, followed by the first African PSi Conference held in Johannesburg, and hosted by the Wits School of Arts. Christo caught up with him shortly after his return to Canada to discuss his experience of the two conferences in two different African cities, the differences between the IFTR and PSi and the value of such scholarly organisations to emerging scholars. We then untangle the terminology around Performance as Research and Artistic Research before considering Bruce's key terms for evaluating Artistic Research: Methods, Knowledge, and Impact. Finally we explore the very exciting work that he has done, with his creative partner, Pil Hansen, with the Vertical City Performance in Toronto, particularly their innovative engagements using performance into the fields of cognitive science,and cognitive philosophy.

Today we're focusing on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It wasn't so long ago that I thought I might never have the ability to visit this vast country on the Arabian Peninsula. But let me tell you, things have changed!  From stunning desert landscapes, to fascinating ancient history, to an absolutely stunning and untouched sliver of the Red Sea - Saudi Arabia has always had a lot to offer… you just couldn't visit. Fast Forward to recent years and the Kingdom has thrown open its doors and invested billions into infrastructure, gorgeous hotels, amazing experiences blending traditional and modern culture, and more.  Joining me to talk about the changes are Melanie de Souza, the CMO of AlUla and Amina Farooq who is a local expert in planning itineraries throughout the country. We talk about everything from the changes in women's rights to the new projects on the Red Sea, to the delicious cuisine.  Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn
