Omar Rajeh, who was part of IDFB 2010’s Outspoken Weekend, is still touring with The Assassination of Omar Rajeh. There are two performances at the Aarhus Festival in Denmark on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 August.  

Rajeh is Beirut-based Maqamat Dance Theatre’s artistic director. He is working on a solo entitled Can You Hear Me?, which will be presented as a work in progress at Constane Cambiamento Festival in Florence, Italy next month.

Magamat Dance Theatre also is working with Sasha Waltz & Guests and Sareyyet Ramallah to create Takween-Beirut Contemporary Dance School 2011, which is an annual three-month intensive contemporary training programme aimed at young people who wish to take on dance and performance as their careers. Takween-BCDC is from Sunday 5 September – Sunday 5 December. Dansgroep Amsterdam and Mancopy Danskompagni are also collaborators on this project.
