ACTING FOUNDATIONS
Part of theatre education programmes for community centres, sessions are designed for adults to develop basic performance skills useful for future artistic endeavours (such as actors’ auditions) or simply for personal development (such as public speaking). Fun and creative exercises aim to raise confidence, sense of play and communication. Teaching is based on selected university-level material that is adapted for wider public. Topics covered include improvisation, voice, movement, character development, and scene analysis.
ACT TOO Acting for Adults courses have been held at:
- Dubai Community Theatre & Arts Centre
- The Junction Dubai
- Sorbonne Abu Dhabi
- Warehouse421 Abu Dhabi
- Cinema Akil Dubai

EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE
DEVISED, COLLABORATIVE CREATION
Training and initiatives offer participants a chance to experience theatre practices that unleash creativity, push boundaries, and challenge preconceived notions. Out-of-the-box approaches aim to stretch the imagination, personal expression, and heighten an appreciation of group-work. Literal props are often purposefully limited in session-work, leading ensembles to re-think, thus re-invent available material, this in tandem with encouraging lateral rather than linear thinking patterns. Programmes are designed with arts and alternative, "found" spaces in mind.
Training and projects run in conjunction with the STAR TOO arts collective: Dubai's first experimental theatre group, principally based on the works of directors and practitioners such as Augusto Boal, Jerzy Grotowski, and Jacques Lecoq.
