In an effort to expand our operations, and to get back to actual activity, we're now venturing into the theatre business. In co-operation with VU University Amsterdam's English department, we're developing a stageplay entitled Heaven forfend! Written by Remy L. Overkempe, and produced by Overkempe and Lenette Vlasman, we're currently aiming for a winter 2010 première. Currently, the production's very low-key, and casting and location scouting still has to be done, but when more information is present, we will keep you updated.

P.S. Today we launched our new website. Goodbye, clutter, hello, fresh breathable air.

Slowly, our magazine project Aleksandr Magazine is coming along. The design, though it still needs a refinement wash, is almost finished; the core CMS that's going to run the magazine's operations has been put into place (though we still might replace our own Command Centre software with the functionality of ExpressionEngine); and busy hands are at work on the philosophy behind the digital periodical.

However, our initial première date of January 31, 2010 has been moved up—indefinitely; and with it, the submission deadline (of January 1, 2010). The submissions page has been updated as well, to a static page containing our credo. Don't worry, though; the première has just been delayed because the magazine and everything behind it needs to be figured out. As soon as possible, more information will be available. Including the names of people to harass. We know you like that.

Somewhat of a sidenote, but, in the motion picture category: though activity has been oceanic low in this projects section, we are currently planning a project for the Vrije Universiteit (VU University Amsterdam), involving poetry, and digital media. Nothing's definite yet, but, await awesomeness when the project does happen.
