2 Back to the Nederlandse school!!

Met het aanbreken van het nieuwe schooljaar gaat ook de Nederlandse school
weer van start! Helaas hebben we afscheid moeten nemen van Pauline van de
Roest en Laura Jansen, maar voor hen in de plaats zijn er twee nieuwe
leerkrachten: Laila Sikking en Silvia Holtrop. Laila zullen sommigen van
jullie wel kennen, ofwel van het bestuur van de DCA, ofwel omdat zij het
vorige schooljaar al heel wat zaterdagen op de Nederlandse school heeft
meegeholpen. Silvia begint voor het eerst met lesgeven op de Nederlandse
school, maar heeft er ook ontzettend veel zin in!

Voor degenen die niet (meer?) weten wat de Nederlandse school inhoudt: De
Nederlandse school is bedoeld voor kinderen tussen de 4 en 14 jaar die graag
Nederlands willen leren. De lessen worden gegeven op zaterdagochtend van
9.30 tot 12.00. "WAT?!?! Ook nog op zaterdag naar school?", zullen sommigen
van jullie misschien denken, maar wees niet bevreesd! We doen ons uiterste
best om voor zoveel mogelijk leuke activiteiten te zorgen, waaronder
natuurlijk een bezoek van Sinterklaas in december.

De registratie vindt plaats op zaterdag 9 september van 9.30-12.00, de
lessen beginnen één week later. Bezoek voor verdere informatie de net
aangepaste website van de Nederlandse school:

It's the beginning of a new school year, so the Dutch School will also start
again! Unfortunately we have had to say goodbye to Pauline van de Roest and
Laura Jansen, but we now have two new teachers: Laila Sikking and Silvia
Holtrop. Some of you may already know Laila, either from the DCA board, or
because she has been helping out at the Dutch School on Saturdays during the
last school year. Silvia will start teaching at the Dutch School for the
first time and is looking forward to it very much!

For those of you who don't know (exactly) what the Dutch School is, the
Dutch School is meant for children aged 4-14 years old who want to learn
Dutch language and culture. Classes will take place on Saturday mornings
from 9.30-12.00. "WHAT?!?! School on a Saturday?" some of you might think,
but don't worry! We are trying our best to make sure there are lots of fun
activities, including, of course, a visit from Sinterklaas in December.

Registration will take place on Saturday, September 9th from 9.30-12.00, and
classes will start one week after that. Further information can be found on
our newly updated website: http://ca.geocities.com/nlschool @ rogers.com/


3 CAANS - Armando


presents

Armando

Armando, (born as Herman Dirk van Dodeweerd in Amsterdam in 1929), is a
well-known artist in The Netherlands. Besides painting and sculpture, he has
written dozens of books of poetry and prose, has made films and, with Cherry
Duyns, has produced and acted in the absurdist televison program of the 70s
and 80s: "Herenleed." Armando grew up in Amersfoort. During the war, he
lived close to a Nazi transit camp, an experience that greatly influenced
his art throughout his life.

In 1998 the town of Amersfoort converted the nineteenth-century Elleboogkerk
(Elbow Church) into a museum that collects and exhibits Armando's work.
Changing exhibitions of his work are shown twice a year, and they regularly
include work by other artists. http://www.armandomuseum.nl/

Petra Halkes will show and discuss some of Armando's work, and read sections
from his prose collections. She will also show images of the Armando Museum
and of the exhibition "Against Time" which she curated for the museum in
2002/03.

"Against Time" consisted of works by Armando in combination with the works
of six Canadian artists (Isaac Applebaum, Susan Feindel, Adrian Göllner,
Mary Riter Hamlilton, (d. 1954) Marie-Jeanne Musiol and Steve Topping). The
art of these Canadians touched on themes of memory and war that form an
important thread in Armando's art.

Petra will bring a slide show presentation as well as a possibly some video
snippets. The presentation will be in English. The video snippets in Dutch
(we got to promote Dutch culture, right?)
