Omar Rajeh – Focus: Lebanon

This is part of our Outspoken weekend of new performance from Arab artists, curated by Eckhard Thiemann.

Omar Rajeh will talk about his work and the situation of dance in Lebanon. Omar Rajeh is the main catalyst for dance development in Beirut.

He founded and leads the organisation Maqamat, which manages the international touring company, a programme of training for dancers, international exchanges, and the annual international dance festival Bipod.
