festival international de Colmar
Le choix d´un thème porteur et d´un concept particulièrement original assurent la pérennisation du festival de Colmar et l´hommage annuel à un grand musicien devient le fil conducteur de l´ensemble de la programmation. Ce concept permet au festival d´aborder tous les répertoires et ouvre de nouveaux horizons : hommage à un instrument, à un pays, à une culture… Depuis 1989, le Festival International de Colmar propose ainsi un concept tout à fait original et inédit d´un hommage annuel à un grand musicien dont la personnalité et l´interprétation ont marqué notre époque. Cette approche particulière confère à l´ensemble de la programmation musicale du festival une unité et une cohérence exceptionnelles. Ainsi, Colmar a célébré de nombreux grands artistes. Aucune étiquette n´est applicable à cet événement musical colmarien, sinon celle de l´originalité et de l´excellence.

Cinémathèque de Tanger
PRÉSENTATION A l'été 2006, la Cinémathèque de Tanger s'installe dans les murs de l'ancien Cinéma RIF au coeur de Tanger, sur le Grand Socco, l'ancienne place du marché. Rénovée et dotée d'un équipement moderne, cette splendide salle de projection inaugurée en 1948, offrira dès lors l'accès à deux salles de projection, un café, une bibliothèque, une salle de consultation et une autre de montage. La Cinémathèque de Tanger, association à but non lucratif, se propose de recueillir et de promouvoir le patrimoine cinématographique marocain, de sensibiliser le public à l'histoire du cinéma et de proposer une programmation inédite, à la fois exigeante et grand public. Dans cette optique, la CDT propose tout au long de l'année des films récents en version originale sous-titrée, et des classiques de tous genres et de tous les continents. En outre, un programme ambitieux de cycles et de rétrospectives, de rencontres et d'ateliers pédagogiques devrait faire de la Cinémathèque une structure pilote, inédite dans le contexte marocain. Misant sur son caractère résolument moderne et convivial, répondant aux normes de confort et de sécurité et créé avant tout pour les spectateurs, la Cinémathèque aspire à devenir un lieu incontournable de Tanger et surtout un pôle régional de réflexion, de familiarisation et d'éducation des métiers liés à l'image.

Bio Mapping
Bio Mapping is a art project which explores new ways that we as individuals can make use of the information we can gather about our own bodies. Instead of security technologies that are designed to control our behaviour, this project envisages new tools that allows people to selectively share and interpret their own bio data. The Bio Mapping tool allows the wearer to record their Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), which is a simple indicator of emotional arousal in conjunction with their geographical location. This can be used to plot a map that highlights point of high and low arousal. By sharing this data we can construct maps that visualise where we as a community feel stressed and excited. How will our perceptions of our community and environment change when we become aware of our own and each others intimate body states?

Les Azuriales Opera Festival
Founded in 1997, this two-week opera festival takes place at the end of August in the magnificent Bel Epoque Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in the exclusive Riviera village of Cap Ferrat. The covered patio of the Villa provides the most intimate space for a fully-staged opera performed in the round. You are drawn into the heart of the performance, experiencing a thrillingly personal encounter with the operatic voice. Singing of exceptional quality and verve in the original language is made fully accessible by English and French surtitles.  The magic continues after most performances when the artists join you for dinner under the stars, in the magnificent gardens. The evening is like a modern equivalent of an 18th century soirée which is how the Villa was originally intended to be used by Baroness Ephrussi.

The Improbable Orchestra
The Improbable Orchestra is an interactive, live-remix, music-making machine. You will need no musical skill to sculpt the Improbable Orchestra's looping audio stream to your liking, creating mash-ups, breakdowns, and possibly even funky jams on the fly. Bring your friends - up to four people can play at once! It's a musical instrument, a sound sculpture, a game - but most of all it's an opportunity for non-musicians to experience the joy of a musical jam session.
