Lókal blends Icelandic theatre artists and traditions with influences from the the- atre scene abroad. Among the artists visiting Iceland to take part in the fes- tival are Richard Maxwell, who Variety listed as one of the most influential art- ists in America, Pavol Liska and Gaetan Vourc. With it’s unique goal and ex- perienced participants, Lókal might be the event which will have the most profound effect on the dramatic arts in Reykjavík today. Icelandic Music Awards March 18 The Icelandic Music awards have been an annual event since 1993. Although it started out as a small ceremony held by The Icelandic Musicians Associa- tion the awards are now a popular, tele- vised event. The award ceremony will be broadcast live on RÚV, the public television channel. Kvart - Station Gray: Last Stop March 9 – March 14 – March 16 The Iceland Dance Company’s Febru- ary performance promises to be one of the largest this year. The company will show two different dances by two of the most influential dance compos- ers today, Jo Strömgren and Alexander Ekman. Strömgrens “Kvart” focuses on dance styles that are not usually displayed on stage but are used when dancers show one another their skills. “Station Gray: Last Stop” by Alexander Ekman is a theatrical and comedic piece about the unattainable wish of eternal youth. Lebowski Fest March 8 A year ago, inspired young men de- cided to honor their hero “The Dude” by starting an annual “Lebowski Fest” where participants bowl, drink White Russians and watch the movie that drove them to this feat of greatness. 20 people attended. This year the hosts are hoping for a slightly larger crowd and with the press coverage, better organization and the ever growing fan base of what has to be called the most intellectually pleasing of stoner-come- dies, their wishes might just come true. A costume competition with prizes will be held and the age requirement for entry is 20. Embassy Opening – NSK March 22 The artistic group NSK will open an “embassy” in Reykjavík on Saturday the 22nd. Neue Slowenishe Kunst (NSK for short) was formed in Ljubljana, Slo- venia in 1984, when the experimental music group Laibach and their artistic collaborators declared NSK an inde- pendent state - “the first Global State of the Universe” - not of territory, but rather a “virtual state in time”. NSK will undoubtedly bring much of the raw energy from the Eastern-European art scene with it to Iceland. The opening ceremony which will include a lecture by Dr. Alexei Monroe, whos has a PhD in cultural theory studies, will be held at the Reykjavík Academy. Listings | Reykjavík Grapevine | Issue 03 2008 | B7 Even Vikings Get the Blues Music The annual Reykjavík Blues Festival returns this March, with a very respect- able programme that should attract blues lovers around the world. Out of Mississippi, the heartland of the blues, via Chicago and Nebraska, comes the legend Magic Slim, guitarist and singer, with his band The Teardrops. Slim cap- tures the essence of the Delta-Chicago blues sound that countless blues artists have tried to emulate. From England come the Yardbirds, the legendary band that launched the careers of Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. The Yardbirds were at the forefront of the British Invasion in the 1960s and one of the catalysts in developing the modern sound of rock ’n’ roll from 12-bar blues. Chicago’s Deitra Farr is one of the top blues vocalists in the world. In addi- tion, the cream of the crop of Icelandic blues musicians will perform.
