<p>If you love watching movies at home especially 3D bluray movies, your home theater set up need to have enough power to drive the speakers. The new <a href="http://hometheatergears.com/onkyo/onkyo-tx-nr1009-review/">Onkyo TX-NR1009</a> receiver fits such a bill.</p>
<p>Lately, I&rsquo;ve been hearing a whole lot of buzz about the upcoming release of the Onkyo TX-NR1009 and from what I&rsquo;ve learned about this remarkable receiver. It is touted as one of the <a href="http://hometheatergears.com/top-10-home-theater-receivers/">best av receiver</a> for your money.</p>
<p>I personally love Onkyo products and it&rsquo;s because they&rsquo;re always on the fringe of innovation. When it comes to new technology and improvements in sound, they&rsquo;re the frontrunners and so I know that this receiver will be the best my money can buy.</p>
<p>Up until now, I&rsquo;ve had a Denon receiver and although it&rsquo;s brought my family and I years worth or maybe it&rsquo;s just a year of high quality entertainment, it&rsquo;s limited on how many speakers I can connect to the receiver. Not the case with the Onkyo TX-NR1009 &ndash; I can connect up to 9 loudspeakers to it and it changes everything about the sound experience!</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Event managers often face the common question of how to hire bands by the party hosts. Rather the question is what exactly needs to be considered before hiring a band?. The answers to these questions are quite a few. Some may suggest to <a href="http://www.souldesire.co.uk/hire-band/">hire band</a>s which are within your budget or choose one according to the music you want to play. One may also hire bands that specializes in this kind of a party and can play music at par with the theme of the same.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The two best methods to <a href="http://www.souldesire.co.uk/">hire band</a>s are going by the kind of music and the kind of party or occasion they have to cater to. Remember that if you think of your budget as the deciding factor, then the entire thing will fall flat on the face. In case your budget is less, then the best strategy is to hire bands based on either of the two approaches mentioned above and then maybe reduce the no. of usicians in it in order to make it less expensive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hire band according to your music preferences i.e. what music would you like to be played at your party. If you want a dance party where your guests shake a leg or two on the beats of the drums, then hire band that can make the crowd groove and go mad on the dance floor. Again if the music preference is soft and soothing just to give a background score for the party, hire band that will set the mood of the party by its light instrumentals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thus, going by the kind of music to be played in the party, hire bands specializing in categories of rock, soft rock, live acoustics, blues, jive, swing, jazz, acid rock, death metal, dance, punk, pop, trance, house music and the like.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Secondly one can also hire bands keeping in mind the kind of party he is having. In recent days, live music bands market themselves by specializing in a particular kind of an event or occasion. For example, bands specializing in weddings can be hired for giving that extra special touch to any wedding ceremony.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Weddings are occasion where the invitee list consists of people from all age groups having different choices and tastes in music. Hence, a wedding band is one which is versatile, being able to play all kinds of music starting from the popular oldies to the latest pop hits, and taking special care about the order of things along with the mixing of the same is vitally important for a grand wedding ceremony. Moreover, ability to play romantic numbers or special music pieces during moments like when the bride is walking down the aisle or when the couple kiss, are few things that a wedding band needs to have up their sleeves.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Again, if we take the birthday parties as an example in contrast to a wedding birthday parties, hire bands that can set the right fun filled mood and spread birthday cheer. A Birthday party band should typically be able to create an enjoyable aura, by playing some good dance music and interacting with the crowd, etc so that everyone can have a good time on the dance floor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thus, it is either of these two things that should be taken into consideration while hiring a music band, one is the genre of music you want for your party and the other is whether the band is a specialized one in your kind of an event. Having hired the band on such solid grounds, your basic work is done and you don&#8217;t have any worries anymore for the grand finale.</p>

Currently playing at the Arcola Theatre as part of the Africa &#8217;05 celebrations this is the second time the UK has seen this remarkable performance. Previously staged at Riverside Studios in 1978 to exceptional reviews, it is now restaged by Tiata Fahodzi ( Theatre of the Emancipated ), Britains&#8217; leading African theatre company, under the watchful eye of its&#8217; director Femi Elufowoju, jr.</h3>
<p>The story is an old one, the thought of a mother marrying her son and bearing him children is difficult to swallow, as is humorously portrayed by Alaka (Nick Oshiklanlu) in his cries of &#8220;pray woman let me eat in peace.&#8221; The horror of discovering that the wife you loved is in fact your mother is a burden too horrific to bear, King Odewales frenzied paranoia is an anguish to watch. The suffocating pain of the Queens sobs as she realises the husband she married is in fact her son and her silent, resolute exit from the room heightens the sheer force of the drama enfolding. Even through this most shocking of stories there is humour, in the tradition of Shakespearian tragedies, pathos is found. We laugh at the King and his Yoruba proverbs handed out in copious amounts, for instance &#8220;is it not ignorance that makes the rat attack the cat?&#8221; Led by Mo Sesay playing King Odewale the cast gave tantalising performances. The intimacy of the Arcola theatre, the still, stifling heat did not detract from the dynamic, energetic performance. The lilting, soul stirring chanting and melodies composed by Akintayo Akinbode evoked the senses and helped transport the audience to another time in a Nigerian place.</p>
<p>All great stories are timeless, as is this one. Rotimi was a master storyteller, cleverly placing the Oedipus Rex tragedy in Nigeria where it easily lends itself to the nuances and intricacies of the plot. Having written the play in the 1960s, Rotimis&#8217; essential message is emphasised in King Odewales&#8217; emphatic reply, &#8220;no, don&#8217;t blame the Gods,&#8221; to his brother, Aderopo (Kwaku Ankomah). It was an allegory to the devastating Nigerian civil war that Rotimi, writing in the 1960s was referring to, but the message is just as potent today: we are masters of our own destinies.</p>
<p>The Gods are not to blame: 8th June &#8211; 2nd July 2005 Arcola Theatre, 27 Arcola St, E8</p>

Maureen McManus speaks to Ant Hampton about spontaneous theatre, barriers and power. Life affirming joyride anyone?</h3>
<p>Yeah, right, like that&#8217;s going to happen in a run-down theatre space at the back of the Hackney Empire. Sure, all these bohemian types with their winter underwear seriously in conflict with their hipster jeans know a good place to go.</p>
<p>Taking a chance we followed them to the Bullion Room, out the back of the Hackney Empire for an alternative theatre festival brazenly called Life Affirming Joyride Vol.1. By the time we got there to collect our tickets, the organisers were turning people away. It was the second of the three nights. Had word of mouth gone out, could it be a good sign?</p>
<p>The Bullion Room is an infrequently used space, capacious, and dilapidated, the seats look like rejects from the main theatre, yet the space exudes atmosphere, and is filled with a grungy-chic crowd, talking about acting jobs, and publishing ventures, and wearing the most impossible combinations. Combinations that is in the underwear sense, one couldn&#8217;t help noticing, as winter underwear and tights fought for attention under low-cut jeans. And the theme continued on stage where underwear featured in three of the five shows.</p>
<p>Rotozaza is a daring physical/alternative theatre company, whose co-creator Ant Hampton is the festival&#8217;s organiser. His partner is Silvia Mercuriali who acts in this and the forthcoming work. Their show called Getting out of Calais, 3am or A makes B wet while C watches blurs the boundaries between rehearsed and improvised theatre. Dressed only in underwear, throwing water over each other, the three actors played with the audience&#8217;s sympathies. Hampton said, &#8220;That&#8217;s what we are trying to do, so that you are constantly having to guess in one moment you think it&#8217;s rehearsed and the next you think it&#8217;s spontaneous.&#8221;</p>
<p>The rest of the show, which was made up of five acts in total was equally inventive. The Highs and Lows of Owning Your Own Home showcased three older actors (John Ringham, Godfrey Jackman and Patrick Driver) having a lot of fun with the writing of Glen Neath. This was the first part of a new play, which made me want to see more. And then underwear again in The Superheroes, a marvellous tale of domestic anxiety, farcically unleashed by actors Peter Arnold and Greg McLaren.</p>

The humour and physicality of the evening climaxed in a fabulous piece called, Naïve Dance Masterclass by Matt Rudkin. This self-parodying theatrical treat, with the added fun of a fantastic hula-dancing doll left the audience elevated.<img class="imageleft" src="http://www.whitemercury.com/articles/theatre/images/convinincing1.jpg" alt="Photo: Ant Humpton" width="270" height="353" align="left" /></p>
<p><strong>It really had been what it claimed, a joyride.</strong><br />
Afterwards I talked to Ant Hampton, eager to find out more about Rotozaza&#8217;s new show, Five in the Morning, which will soon begin a three-week run at the Bullion Room.</p>
<p><strong>Tell me about the idea behind Rotozaza?</strong><br />
It comes on the back of three and a half years work on a particular way of making theatre, which started with Bloke. I thought if I gave an unrehearsed actor a list of instructions that you get him to agree to follow, in advance, the performer doesn&#8217;t know anything about the show but as long as they do what they are told everything will go to plan.</p>
<p><strong>Why?</strong><br />
What&#8217;s fascinating is to see on stage a thing that develops in front of your eyes. The actor is discovering everything the same time as you. It absolutely depends for its existence on aliveness.<br />
The performer is an audience member the same time as being an actor &#8211; breaking down that barrier?</p>
<p>Rather than barriers, often I see it in terms of power, I feel a lot of theatre dominates the audience, and the audience want to be dominated, whereas this sets up an equal relationship where the sympathy is high with the person on stage because they know the situation is like this.</p>
<p><strong>Describe one of your shows?</strong><br />
ROMCOM is played with guest performers, they don&#8217;t need to be actors. We give them headphones, where they repeat the text they hear. One voice for action and a voice for movement. The text is written by Glen Neath. I wrote the actions, strategy, sound and lights. For ROMCOM we have a video with the lights and the sound and music for the show and the two ipods for the performances so we start them all together, then we sit down and watch it.</p>
<p><strong>Tell me about the new show you are directing?</strong><br />
Five in the Morning has three people (actors, Greg McLaren, Silvia Mercuriali and Melanie Wilson) in swimming costumes, in this strange aquaworld. There are voices telling them what to do that everyone hears &#8211; the audience as well &#8211; and the quality is as if they just walked on stage and they&#8217;ve agreed to do what they&#8217;re told to do, but there&#8217;s a very mysterious feel to it, you&#8217;re constantly wondering are they rehearsed or not. The action flicks from there to very complete, very random, intensely worked theatrical images.</p>
<p><strong>For example?</strong><br />
For example a Chinese vendor in the street illegally selling little radio controlled cars, being watched by the pope and a bunch of bodyguards in the background and he turns into an acrobat figure performing for the pope. By flicking the scenes from one to the other we try and identify two completely different ways of reading a show and particularly what happens to an audience when you are flicking between them. So the pool is where your presence in the room is very important and you have to ask yourself what you are doing watching. Within that there&#8217;s the fact that you are wondering whether or not they&#8217;re rehearsed. In a lot of our work a sort of parallel metaphor starts rising to the surface, the part of ourselves that is rehearsed and the part that is spontaneous. Are we not actually in some way completely pre-recorded? Is what we do and say really that spontaneous or not?</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s strange how it works?</strong><br />
The fact that the actors are going through the same thing with the audience means these darker scenes stand as a sort of escape from this exhausting predicament.<br />
Rotozaza worked a lot abroad, how are you finding London?<br />
ROMCOM has had a lot of success internationally and from that we managed to set up contact for the other shows. We do different language shows, for example in Portuguese and Italian. Because of the strategies involved we can just translate and re-record. We are doing ROMCOM in Argentina at the end of March.</p>
<p><strong>Why the Bullion Room?</strong><br />
In the hope that it might become a proper home for east London&#8217;s alternative theatre makers. It&#8217;s pretty embarrassing to have a situation in London that there is only one house for that kind of work &#8211; the BAC.</p>
<p>Five in the Morning will run at the Bullion Room behind the Hackney Empire from February 23 to March 12.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="post_head"><img src="http://www.whitemercury.com/articles/theatre/images/the_colonist.jpg" class="imageleft_top" alt="The Sugar Wife by Elizabeth Kuti" height="313" width="471" /> The Sugar Wife is a play set in Dublin&#8217;s Quaker community of 1840. Written by Elizabeth Kuti, an English-Hungarian writer who moved to Dublin in 1993. Maureen McManus interviewed the playwright to explore the process by which the play was written.</h3>
<p>The Sugar Wife tells the story of four characters, the main one being Hannah Tewkley, the wife of a sugar and tea merchant in Dublin. As Quakers (a religion of non-violence) she and her husband Samuel welcome into their home, Alfred Darby, a philanthropist, and Sarah Worth, a former slave, who now gives lecture tours. The play deals with the efforts the characters made to live in a world that demands compromise to survive.</p>
<p><strong>How did the play come about?</strong><br />
I was interested in taking the Quakers as a community to write about, a slightly different take on Irish history. I was also interested in ideas about slavery&#8230; because the tea and coffee business was very much connected with sugar, which was a slave produce and I thought there might be something interesting to explore there. The idea of a couple who were wealthy and acquiring wealth, who were very high-minded but somehow also compromised by the trade they were involved in. I thought that it might connect with the Celtic Tiger and the huge change in the racial make-up of Dublin where this is a totally new thing in Irish culture, suddenly there is a lot more cultural diversity.</p>
<p><strong>What about the female characters?</strong><br />
I was interested in the idea of someone losing their faith and it was also about someone awakening in many ways -awakening to a recognition that things aren&#8217;t black and white &#8211; there is a more complex interplay between good and evil forces, and that reflects on Hannah&#8217;s own sexuality as well.<br />
Sarah Worth (the former slave) tells the story of her ancestors and what happens on the slave ship (when half the slaves were thrown overboard and murdered) based on the true case of an infamous ship called the Zong, which was instrumental in bringing about the abolition of slavery because people were so horrified by the story, and that real atrocity. The style of the telling is fictionalised.<br />
The issues in the Sugar Wife seem to be coming from a place of Post-colonial anxiety?</p>
<p>Post-colonial anxiety is something that one feels quite acutely as an English person living in Dublin. Of course, you&#8217;re feeling a level of guilt or pain about an imperial past, the wrongs of history. You can&#8217;t be an English person living in Ireland for that amount of time without thinking about those issues. It might be why I was attracted to writing about this Quaker community, because they are a people who left England to try to escape persecution. It was easier for me to take that perspective, as an outsider than for an Irish person living in Ireland, a feeling of being an outsider from the mainstream culture.</p>
