After a successful year Foam Lab, Foam’s little brother, is looking for eight upcoming talents for their multidisciplinary team to join their inspiring and creative team for one year.

Become one of the performers of your own party this Saturday at Curious LAB
When I think about my evenings in the theatre, my first thoughts are of sitting in the Bellevue, watching what the performers bring me, with a beer in hand. All very relaxed in a cozy chair.. Sometimes, I yearn for more tension and interaction between the performers and the audience. This is a reason why Curious Lab caught my attention, and might catch yours as well. Yesterday, my colleague Ridz already tipped Curious LAB in his Next Monday’s Hangover. Let me elaborate and show you some visuals from their kick-off and Fringe teaser! (..more)

Art & Connection is a photo exhibition about inspiring and connecting people
Amsterdam's photography museum Foam is organizing the photo exhibition Art & Connection in collaboration with the usual unusual company &samhoud. The central theme of this exhibition, Connection, is linked to &samhoud's higher goal: "Together we build a brighter future. We achieve breakthroughs by inspiring and connecting people", and I believe in that! I think that the exhibition succeeds in showing us the real importance of connecting people. When you connect and inspire people, beautiful things may evolve, like we try to do here at Overdose ;-) (..more)
