Dear All,

Choreography and Artist Engagement: A Debate
Middle Eastern choreographers from the festival and ducth-based choreographers will discuss and show how they bring important social and political issues into their work. Film clips of the choreographers work will be shown and issues such as freedom of artistic expression and the effect of working and living conditions on artist's work will be discussed.

Participating middle eastern choreographers will include Muhanad Rasheed (Iraq), Mohamed Shafik (Egypt), Omar Rajeh (Lebanon), Mey Sefan/Ingo Schweiger (Syria/Germany) and Ayman Abdel Fattah (Egypt).
