OFA 2020 All Appears Well but the King Is Distracted, Bewitched by the Attractive and Quick­Witted Lady­In­ ‘Cloth of Gold’! Waiting Anne Boleyn Inspired by The Field of Cloth of Gold 18 JUNE - 5 JULY 2020 FOUNDER & LEAD SPONSOR From the Festival Director As I am writing this a cloud of uncertainty hangs over all of us. We are ploughing ahead – and everything is in place for a festival that was set to be our richest, most engaging yet. The arts, and culture in general, have this glorious way of interceding in times like these. I am writing this from home, excitement perhaps waning… but positivity remaining strong. I am writing this to you all just underneath a tapestry that hangs over my piano, which I love so much – The Lady and the Unicorn (‘Hearing’). Isn’t it beautiful that alongside the five ‘Sense’ tapestries, the sixth tapestry in this exquisite series of medieval tapestries is dedicated to desire? What would we all desire for now? Woven over 500 years ago, these works of art are yet another example of how Art remains strong when everything else around us fails. Art somehow manages to speak differently and collectively to each and every one of us, has done so throughout history – and still does. One need only mention the Christmas Truce which brought ceasefire and peace, if only for Christmas Eve, in the First World War; the incredible BalticChain for Freedom when two million people in the Baltic created a 675 kilometre chain of people holding hands and singing across the borders of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania; or, the West­Eastern Divan orchestra which, to date, still brings Palestine and Israel together, defying fierce political divides in the Middle East, creating a space where all differences are forgotten and something new and beautiful is created by making music together. We cannot hold hands today, but we shall tomorrow; and we will most certainly share the richness and beauty of the arts evermore. 500 years ago was also when the magnificent feast of the Field of Cloth of Gold took place. This Foreword was the inspiration behind this year’s festival: lavish manifestations of grandeur, feasting and splendour, everything Tudor, historical richness, significant anniversaries, international relations, The Field of Cloth of Gold! What a resonant and evocative theme for a Festival in this city. We peace, and gold! For this momentous anniversary, it had seemed appropriate to fully embrace our hope to be able to bring this cultural pageant to you in its full glory this summer… Every year the wonderful city of Oxford and all its historical connections with the city’s festival of the arts Festival becomes richer: in its distinguished performers, in the connections it forges among our becoming a colourful canvas for its greatest celebration to date. communities, and in the range of audiences we attract.

SPECIFICALLY, I EXPLORE HOW THE SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER – AS DISSEMINATED BY THE PODCAST – CAN LEAD TO EXPLOSIONS OF EMOTION IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE; SETTING THE BODY IN MOTION AND LEADING TO NEW WAYS OF THINKING, FEELING AND BEING. WHILE THESE PUBLIC EXPLOSIONS OF EMOTION CAN BE TRANSGRESSIVE, I POSTULATE THAT THEY CAN ALSO RELIEVE SOME OF THE TENSION CREATED BY THE NEGATIVE AFFECTS SWIRLING AROUND FEMINISM, WHICH, ACCORDING TO AHMED, “IS ALWAYS ASSUMED TO BE BRINGING OTHERS DOWN” (AHMED, 2010:65). USING GUATTARI’S IDEAS ON THE PRODUCTION OF SUBJECTIVATION, I ARGUE THAT THESE EXPLOSIONS CAN INTENSIFY THE EMERGENCE OF A GLOBAL, INTERSECTIONAL FEMINIST COMMUNITY, PROVOKING A CONSIDERATION OF HOW PODCASTS SUCH AS THE GUILTY FEMINIST COULD EXTEND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND ONLINE ACTIVISM WITHIN CONTEMPORARY FEMINISMS.

  • ANDREA BOCELLI at Last, a Legend at Last, a Legend for the New
    ANDREA BOCELLI At last, a legend At last, a legend for the new millennium. A myth in the Homeric sense, “story delivered by word of mouth”, which blossomed through singing, just like Caruso, Gigli, Del Monaco, Corelli… A legend of Andrea Bocelli’s caliber cannot be artificially designed: not even the most astute marketing plan would be able to come up with such a result. People simply recognize his talent and choose him. This is what happened, in an apparently well-matched but perfect context, the Italian singing competition Sanremo in 1994, because the childhood of a legend follows a course that breaks tradition. Since then, the tone of his voice has brought gentleness to the world and his fame has increased exponentially. “If God could sing, He would sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli”: even Celine Dion’s famous comment is a clear, unadorned testament to the artist’s legendary status, as well as the perception of a God given gift. That voice, that melancholic and at the same time radiant tone, unrivalled in interpreting the love song of a lover or a father, a matchless expression of earthly desire or heavenly love. We are about to celebrate the first twenty years of his career, supported by the sale of 80 million records. With talent comes responsibility “I don’t think one decides to become a singer, it is decided for you by the reactions of the people around you”. Andrea Bocelli has had to come to terms with having two all-encompassing gifts. The first is a specific timbre, which has become his signature, full and powerful, versatile to the point that he can range from the belcanto to the furor of verismo, from the sacred repertoire to the popular ballads.
