a vaccine is made available in. the suburbs than on the one hand we're overjoyed that we can kick off this season i disagree. but we're also very concerned. because there virus is still an issues and we have to deal with the situation but it's the british. you know it's. for example the engagements of 4 choreographers who came in from abroad for the opening piece with borders between russia and the e.u. still closed getting to moscow wasn't easy was it i'm not sure what exactly happened but one day they called us and said come and then suddenly we were. all 4 segments of 4 characters in search of a plot deal with the corona lockdown especially with ideas surrounding longing and closeness but also physical proximity which has taken on

a whole new meaning for the dancers cheering the pandemic. it is we artists belong on stage we've missed it even just thinking about stepping out onto the stage gives me goosebumps which is real is a choice just means we're alive we're living again julia. the bolshoi theatre is gearing to live again despite the harsh reality of the pent up. well of the amsterdam now and while the city's museums were closed during knock down a privately funded start up museum devoted to new media was busy preparing to open its doors as soon as regulations allowed for the next museum is meant to fill a gap in the cultural landscape with multisensory immersive installations by international new media artists but also by scientists and technologists and its inaugural show shifting proximities well run for about the next year.

really look like. with visitors to amsterdam's new museum could already immerse themselves in potential visions of a future. and melissa holroyd joins me to talk about this daring venture this is really fascinating melissa because it seems to me with this exhibition as a visitor that you're almost all agreeing to be a bit of a guinea pig and you know with some of the installations here at least the next museum office people more than just your average multisensory experience here visitors can be protectionists in a speculative experience which looks to the future it really stands on the edge of what we know and what we don't know and it asks you do you like what you see do you like where you are headed i mean in terms of where technique where technology is heading yeah that's right i mean the exhibition space in general looks at the times we're living in and focuses on art that uses modern tools to explore these times one of the most interesting pieces and shifting proximities is apiece. called

a part of the technology. yes so. so so with things like facial recognition and the environment we can understand the more readily by having the actual experience itself ok well let's hope that we can actually get to amsterdam physically to see this shifting proximities on at the next museum for about the next year thanks very much for bringing us that story and the whole right . well most people start raising chickens in order to have fresh eggs and if you've ever been lucky enough to do this you'll know that they are indeed endlessly fascinating to watch and chickens can have quite a personality to italian photographers were also struck by the incredible variety of chickens and their new book is an ode to love between any 2 birds of a feather. proud self-assured and with elegant feathers. these words describe the ornamental
