EBC Lithuania 2011

///////////////

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:
We need logo on A4 format with slogan. This logo will be used everywhere. You probably know how many usage variants have logo for different championships all around the world. So we need logo which will be used in color and b/w version. It should be easily transformable to different sizes starting from pins and ending with huge outdoors. It should be easily applicable for uniforms, sport attributes etc. Logo should be original, very creative and unique. Logo should have connection with Lithuania and basketball. You should know that basketball is game number 1 in Lithuania.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:
Audience is Lithuanian basketball league board. They will choose which logo suits they needs best. All of them are basketball experts, but not creative people. Logo should be eye catching, easy to remember and for 100% Lithuanian.

Garana Jazz Fest

The problem is that the subject is over commented and exposed on my facebook account with photo albums from over 5 people. Oh wait. Did you had the impression I will talk about the event itself. Uff, Im not such a jazz fan or Udrea for that matter.

But over all it felt like a overprice village fest with people of all ages (and to many kids), with cold "langosi" (wikipedia it) and great music for the people that have a ear for "Shooby doo, papa pum, shooooo yeah".
On the other side I think I would have loved the Sunday shows if ... lets say I would have stay longer and would have been sober.

But the trip itself and the atmosphere was a continuous WOOOOOOOOOwing after the very energetic expression "PARTY SUPER PARTY!!!". Plus the adrenaline of moving tents at the midnight stroke from the water outburst of our idyllic little stream transformed in a monstrous river was just excelarating.

EXIT . Novi Sad

Never been to an Open air before. Not like at the whole thing. At some concerts within an Open Air yes; looking curious at the camping site thinking, neh, not for me. Well, baby, forget showers, bread, french lessons and yoga silence and give me the beer, french kisses and hit me with the bass!

Emilia Dima Jurca

Our theater teacher passed away.
She taught us self confidence, diction and how to sit on a chair on a stage.
May you, dear Doamna Emi rest in peace.

Teatrul vesnic tanar

Faust

For me, as a theatre onlooker, the theatre season is over. There is no stage, no actor, no director that I want to play with my mind and caress me with his visions. After seeing 3 undoubtedly* good plays I cant even muster the will to even watch a movie.

The last of this series was Faust by Goethe, directed by Purcarete in Sibiu (Teatrul Radu Stanca) with Ofelia Popii as Mephisto. I dont have the gift of words to even try to describe the unleashed energies and nightmares, but I can tell you that. After the play, when I've met the leading actress Ofelia, an old friend from my teenage years, I could not look into her eyes. Was like looking in the eyes of pure evil. Even if she was as warm and natural as I remember her.
Reading a bit about the play on some blogs I read somewhere (sorry but I cant find the link anymore) that Purcarete version of Faust is a full demonstration of what theater really is.Or it should.

I would go again to see Faust, thats for sure.

As a side note, while watching Afrims or Purcarete's plays is a bit like suffering of ADD. Universes semiotically layered, rich in details, new languages developed, that at the first viewing you are like a child trying to understand the cause and effect (Faust) and the difference of good and evil (Afrim); to realize, for the later, that you cannot distinguish and filter those through ration but through emotions and passions. But through which emotions or passions to judge?

*it is a personal opinion

impressive! vibrant! emotional!

SibFest

Call me a fan or a groupie but after seeing a second time Piata Roosevelt I made up "me" mind. Im going to Sibiu's Theater fest to see a play from the same director Radu Afrim, a stroke of genius, called "the Pillowman". And will stay also for Faust, which seems to be another kick ass play.

The Pillowman

Faust

Will see Ofelia Popi, the leading actress after... how many years? Ravishing energy bomb Ofelia. Now Im nervous!

Ringier Fellow

Series of animation done for Ringier Academy together with Irina. Because there were animations for the menu and the head titles for a secured platform I had to improvise a presentation platform for them. There are 2 pages so search for the other one. :)

A reminder.

"Piata Roosevelt"

Daunting, haunting.
A must see. It might be played only once again cause it scares the shit out of the "respectable" class of Timisoara. Or Romania for that matter. If till now I wasn't that much convinced of Afrim's genius, now he just overwhelmed my dreams and nightmares. So fight for a seat on the 03.06 for the official opening and maybe official closing of this exuberant emotional vision.





The new play directed by Radu Afrim and written by Lea Doher.
