PAZ TANJUAQUIO

18 February 2008

Artist Talk

10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon

and

Free Dance Workshop

1:00 p.m. onwards

Jorge B. Vargas Museum and Filipiniana Research Center

University of the Philippines

Diliman, Quezon City

As part of the continuing celebration of the University of the Philippines' Centenary, the UP Vargas Museum hosts Paz Tanjuaquio's artist talk and free dance workshop on 18 February 2008. Tanjuaquio is a choreographer who is co-founder and artistic director of TOPAZ ARTS, Inc., a contemporary dance company based in the United States and established in 2000 with composer Todd Richmond. With a BA in Visual Arts from the University of California and an MFA in Dance from the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, Tanjuaquio integrates choreography and visual art with Richmond's original music and film. The result is a seamless collaboration of movement, music and images that is "intelligently conceived, image-filled" according to the New York Times.

For the Artist Talk "Dance and Film," Tanjuaquio will present TOPAZ ARTS' recent work on film and introduce their approach in making dance for the camera. She will also teach a movement workshop based on her New York training in modern dance and improvisation. The focus of the workshop is to find connections between the body and the mind, between the performer and the audience. The workshop starts with an "anatomical meditation," bringing awareness to the body's condition through imagery and breath. Continuing with a floor warm-up that incorporates simple stretches, the class moves into techniques in modern dance combined with basic ballet principles. Phrases are taught and improvised, bringing a keen awareness to intuitive versus deliberate movement. Focus on alignment and kinesthetics with concepts of clarity and intensity are explored as keys to a powerful performer.

ACORN Secret Bunker Uncovered

Knutley, TN – A young, well-spoken conservative student and his prostitute girlfriend have recently uncovered a secret bunker in the hills of western Tennessee that is believed to belong to the Assocation of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

Over the past several weeks, the couple has visited several ACORN offices, claiming to be a pimp and a prostitute, asking for advice from ACORN employees, who, instead of calling the police, offer help to the lying couple.

The pimp-and-whore couple stumbled upon the secret bunker accidentally while searching for a bag of crack for an upcoming routine.

Inside the bunker, the prostitute described dark hallways leading to dozens of rooms designed for dog-fighting, cock fighting, enhanced interrogation, something called “forced urbanization,” and Michael Moore movie screening, among other awful things.

The pimp-and-whore couple was stopped by a plump, shiny African American woman named Shawanda who demanded to know why they were there. In response, the pimp launched into his well-spoken routine about his whore girlfriend having tax problems. According to the poor young prostitute, Shawanda led them into a small, damp room with pentagrams scratched into the walls and forced them to dress in what the pretend-pimp called “African tribal clothing” and dance around a group of candles chanting about the benefits of a socialist economy.

Hours later, they were released by ACORN with free copies of the Communist Manifesto and 40 oz.’s of malt liquor.

George Gamblit, a senior advisor for the interest group Americans Against Government Control of Government (AAGCG), had this to say about ACORN’s secret underground bunker:

“Damn, really? Dog fighting and African tribal dress? Well I had no idea. It seems like somebody should do something about that. Are those kids okay? They’re not really poor? Oh, well that’s good.”

Merry Company

Honthorst's genre painting relates to the subject portrayed by his fellow Utrecht Caravaggisti. It depicts a provocative scene of a wanton student (the prodigal son?) in the company of two prostitutes and a procuress carrying an infant. The pages of an immense open folio on the table are brilliantly illuminated by candle-light as is the semi-nude torso of the theorbo-playing prostitute. One of the pages illustrates an older man and a nude child, most likely Cupid, beating a woman who holds a large book. The opposite page shows a Latin poem.

Visa Information

When you come to Peru to study Spanish at El Sol, you are essentially a tourist, so no student visa is necessary.

The tourist visa you receive upon entry will normally allow you to stay in Peru for as long as 90 days (there are also visas for 30-days and 60-days so you may need to request the one you require.) This may be extended for a limited time by paying US$1 per day. Another means to lengthen your visit is by crossing the border into Ecuador, Bolivia, or Chile and receiving a new 90-day tourist visa when you return.

Visa support letter (invitation)

Virtually all travellers to Russia need an entry visa, which is a document stuck into the applicants passport. The earliest arrival and the latest departure dates are indicated on the visa and must be observed. Students have to apply for the visa at a visa department of a Russian Consulate or Embassy in their home country. The school will provide participants with a necessary letter of invitation.

Tourist visa: For students wishing to study four weeks or less, we will arrange a simple invitation which entitles the student to apply for a tourist visa. The tourist visa is valid for one entry and for maximum 30 days In order to proceed, we need to have the following information:

Full name and last name
Nationality
Date of birth
Passport number and expiry date

A tourist visa cannot be prolonged.

Short-term student visa: Students wishing to study more than four weeks need to apply for a student visa. The student visa is valid for one entry and for maximum 90 days. In this case the invitation will be issued by the Russian Ministry of Interior Affairs. This procedure takes up to four weeks. We need the following documents and information about the student to file the student letter of invitation:

Clear passport copy with all relevant personal data (full name and first name, date and place of birth, nationality), passport number, passport issue and expiry dates, issuing authority and place of issue, any prolongation remarks. We need the copy either by fax or scanned and sent by e-mail. Please note that the passport must remain valid for six months beyond the Russian visa expiry date.
Exact length of stay (allow for some extra-days).
Place of application for the visa (city, country)
Permanent home address, phone/fax number

Long-term student visa: For students wishing to study more than 3 months (90 days) we will simply prolong the short-term student visa in Russia.

Visa application procedure

The visa-fee depends on the price policy of each consulate and on the applicant’s nationality. The following items are needed to file an application for a Russian visa:

Filled-in visa application form (PDF downloads available in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. US citizens need to fill in this form.
Visa support letter1)
One recent passport-sized foto
Valid passport

1) Please note that the visa support letter (student visa only) must be supplied as original (no fax, no scan) to Russian consulates in the following countries: France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands. In this case, we send the visa support letter by airmail either to the booking agent, or - when little time is left - directly to the student (should the agent wish so).

For your convenience we provide samples for completing the application form for tourist and student visas.

Russian Consulates

Following websites will help locate the nearest Russian consulate:

Some embassies and consulates maintain their own website:

Whenever you deal with officials at a Russian consulate: Please stay friendly and polite, however lousy you think their services are. With a new generation of younger diplomats in charge, the situation is steadily improving in many places.

Visa registration

The school must register all students within three days after arrival at the local office of the Ministry of the Interior. Registration of a visa normally takes two working days. We always hand out passport and visa copies during the registration process. Students can use these copies as valid documents while changing money, traveller’s cheques (at some places), etc. Visa registration costs are included in the enrolment fee and payable together with the course and accommodation fees.

Visa period of validity and extension

A tourist visa is valid for maximum four weeks (30 days) and it is impossible to extend it. Tourist visas are only valid for one entry.

A short-term student visa is valid for one entry and maximum 3 months (90 days).

A long-term student visa is valid for maximum one year (365 days). Russian authorities require an HIV test for all visitors staying longer than three months.

Which Chinese schools can one legally get a visa for?

[Moderator's note: Currently it is only possible to legally get a visa for studying Chinese through a government approved school. For the best resource to find out which schools you can get a visa for, please consult the New official list of approved language schools from MOE topic in Learning Chinese. Discussions about which schools are government approved should be made in that topic. Any other more general questions about student visas should continue to be posted in Visa & Residency Issues.]

Is there any restriction as of which Chinese schools are good enough to be able to extend one's visa? I have a friend coming over from German, she plans to stay 4 months. Is there a better visa option besides Chinese classes?

Visa requirements and procedure

General Information on visa

Depending on their nationality, foreigners may be obliged to obtain a visa prior to entering the Schengen Area. The German Consulate General in Sydney will accept visa applications from residents of New South Wales and Queensland. Basically there are two types of visas:
Short term Schengen visas that allow the holder to move freely throughout the entire Schengen Community for up to 90 days within a period of 6 months and provided that he or she does not intend to work. Schengen Visas must be applied for at the diplomatic of consular mission of the country of your main destination.
Long term Residence Permits that are issued by an individual member state. They are generally linked to a specific purpose (e.g. study, work) and entitle the holder to remain in this state's particular territory for an extended period of time. However, with a Residence Permit you can also travel the rest of the Schengen Area for up to three months.
The following will give you an overview of the various visa categories as well as the corresponding application forms. Should you have further questions or if you are in doubt which one to choose, please contact the passport and visa section.

The Baader Meinhof Complex

German cinema will be well-represented at the 81^st annual Academy Awards, with six films produced, co-produced, or directed by German filmmakers up for an Oscar in 10 different categories. A historical drama about the left-wing Baader Meinhof gang that terrorized Germany in the 1970's could take home the flagship prize for Best Foreign Film, and Werner Herzog received his first ever Oscar nomination.

The Baader Meinhof Complex, produced by the Los Angeles-based German heavyweight Bernd Eichinger, has not yet enjoyed a wide US release but has already impressed critics worldwide. It has also sold 2.4 million tickets since it opened in Germany in September 2008. The film stars Martina Gedeck (The Lives of Others) and Moritz Bleibtreu (Run Lola Run) as Ulrike Meinhof and Andreas Baader, who led a group of student revolutionaries in increasingly violent attacks that culminated in bombings, hijacking and murders.

Complex will compete for the Best Foreign Language Film against the German-French-Israeli co-production “Waltz With Bashir”. The animated documentary about a young Israeli's soldier's experience in the 1968 War with Lebanon already edged out Complex to win a Golden Globe this year.

Director Stephen Daldry's (The Hours) take on Bernhard Schlink's novel The Reader is up for five awards. The drama about a teenager's affair with an older woman who is later tried for crimes she committed as a concentration camp guard is up for best picture and direction as well as awards for its screenplay (David Hare) and cinematography (Chris Menges and Roger Deakins). Kate Winslet has been nominated as best leading actress for her role as the concentration camp guard.

Werner Herzog's documentary about his trip to Antarctica Encounters at the End of the World earned the legendary German director the nod for best documentary picture. One of the most prolific figures in modern cinema, many of Herzog's most critically successful films, including 2005's Grizzly Man, have been passed over by the Academy Awards, making this his first nomination.

Two short films from Germany will also compete for Oscars. Auf der Strecke (On the Line), which won a student Oscar last year is in the running for best live action short film, as is Spielzeugland (Toyland).

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees on January 22, 2009 and will announce the winners during the gala ceremony on February 22.
