Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), the Emirate’s dedicated entity for culture, arts, heritage and literature, has announced its preparations for the 12th<\/sup> edition of the \u2018Dubai Festival for Youth Theatre\u2019 for 2018. The Authority will organise a number of workshops in preparation for this annual local theatre event that cater to young people.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, that 2018 be declared the \u2018Year of Zayed\u2019, and for it to be a national occasion to commemorate the 100th birthday of the late Founding Father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, is in line with the directives of the wise Government. Dubai Culture, in turn, declared this year\u2019s festival\u2019s theme to be \u2018Year of Zayed\u2019 to embody the values of the Late Sheikh Zayed in the participating theatrical works, such as wisdom, respect, sustainability, human building. By educating and preparing the youth for the future, the festival would also be educational in nature.<\/p>\n

The festival will take place beginning of October at the Theatre of the Culture and Science Symposium in Dubai. During this twelfth iteration of the festival, new awards will be conceived and a celebration of the artistic and cultural personalities selected from among the leading figures in the performing arts sector will take place. The event will also be diversified to enrich the overall atmosphere of the festival.<\/p>\n

Fatma Al Jallaf, Manager of Theatre Section and Head of Dubai Festival for Youth Theatre at Dubai Culture, commented: \u201cThe 12th edition of the festival will continue the successes achieved over the past years. We will endeavour, as usual, to present everything that is new and innovative to enrich the theatrical movement locally and globally. The festival has earned an appreciable position for the important role it plays in exploring and developing talent, and in finding real opportunities for it to enter the world of performing arts. This year a group of aspiring young people will reveal their creations to a wide audience of fans, professionals and theatre enthusiasts from the general public.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Authority confirmed that three specialised workshops will also be organised in cooperation with a number of the festival’s partners in the performance arts sector. The participants will have the opportunity to register their names to participate in the workshops through email (dfytworkshops@dubaiculture.ae). Participation is open to public.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Dubai Folklore Theatre\u2019 will hold a workshop entitled \u2018Theatrical Theatre\u2019 from 1st<\/sup> to 30th<\/sup> August, and another under the name of \u2018Preparation of UAE Literary Novels and Converting them to Theatrical Scripts\u2019 from August 26th<\/sup> to September 6th<\/sup>. While \u2018Dubai Al Ahli Theatre\u2019 will organise the \u2018Theatre Directing\u2019 workshop from 1st<\/sup> to 30th<\/sup> August.<\/p>\n

The festival, organised by Dubai Culture, aims to highlight the creativity of theatre groups in the UAE, and provide a platform to identify the talents and potentials of actors, directors, authors, decorators, producers, makeup experts, sound engineers, visual displays and lighting, and fashion designers.<\/p>\n

Dubai Culture aims to enhance Dubai\u2019s cultural scene and draw attention to the Emirate\u2019s rich heritage with a variety of initiatives that take place throughout the year. The Authority\u2019s mandate is to build bridges of constructive dialogue between different civilisations and cultures through enriching initiatives that benefit Dubai\u2019s citizens, residents and visitors.<\/p>\n
