It was established in 1957 to unite European type manufacturers at a time of technological change and to promote typography education and awareness in general. Its annual conference has taken place every year since its foundation\, but this is its first time in the Middle East. \nThe programme has four packed days of keynote lectures\, talks\, workshops\, exhibitions\, and ā€œcultural experiencesā€ celebrating typography across languages\, cultures\, and disciplines. The theme is Between ā€” Tradition | Transition | Transformation\, ā€œexploring how typography moves across scripts\, disciplines\, tools\, cultures\, and timeā€. In fact the sessions look rather less staid and academic than this implies. \nThe member price is $650 for the four days\, and thereā€™s a $300 rate for students.

Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is knocked out. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. ā€œFast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilariousā€ says the promo\, and you couldnā€™t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings itā€™s free\, but (a) donations are welcome ; (b) you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and (c) itā€™s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat.
