Pete Murray concert in Amsterdam

The great Australian singer and musician Pete Murray will perform a concert at Paradiso in Amsterdam on the 10th of April. This concert will be a reunion with his fans that have always brought him to very good positions in the music charts. The singer will promote his new album Blue Sky Blue during this event. Pete Murray was born in Australia in 1969. During his childhood and adolescence was a sportsman who practiced rugby, athletics and swimming with no interest in music. Only when he was 22, he began learning to play guitar. His compulsive nature led him to study guitar and singing with determination, he started to perform at barbecues and private parties. However, his intention was to study medicine in college, so he put his studies first. Due to his great talent, his relatives insisted him to try to play professionally; he began to do so in bars and small festivals. He toured around Australia with the flutist Col Mc Intyre, they became friends founded a band with keyboardist Ben Mc Carthy, who still works with him. In 2002, he released his first independent album called The Game and settled in Melbourne to take his musical career to the next level. The following year he signed a contract with Sony BMG Australia and began a meteoric career. His career began with such success that the first album Feeler, launched in 2003, made it to the top of sales of the moment. His second album See The Sun achieved the same success as his first and remained on the charts for weeks. His name became a sign...

Jams in Amsterdam

Improvisation of contact is a dance technique and style in which the dancers lean on each other using the mass of their bodies during the movement, respecting certain basic rules, but unleashing instinct and improvisation. It´s considered that during the early 1970s, the American dancer Steve Paxton was the first one in laying out the basics of this art, especially developing intense duos which lacked a musical background, in other words, a pair of dancers touching each other, falling, counter-weighing each other, standing up, caressing each other in a mutual balance which ends up being a mix of dance, theatre and a martial arts duel. The atmosphere which is created among the dancers, and with the crowd in general, is cooperative and equal.   This accessible and slightly elitist atmosphere favours the celebration of informal encounters which receive the name ´jams´, and which the promoters of this style of dance usually celebrate around the world. Today I want to talk to you about a place in Amsterdam where you can attend both classes and weekly ´jams´: it´s the Studio 100 dance studio, located on Wittenstraat 100 (between Westerpark and the Jordaan). Every Saturday afternoon a large amount of dancers from different styles, origins and levels of experience (an advantage of improvisation is that there´s no need for a long technical learning curve before you begin to dance) gather there. From 2pm until 4pm they have a class (with a different teacher every week) to explain the bases of contact improvisation, suggest basic movements to start each dance and (most importantly) clarify some security notions to avoid injuries in the heat of...
