SUMMARY:PowerPointless Networking Night
DESCRIPTION:One of the most consistently funny of the Courtyard’s classic improv gigs is back after a couple of months’ hiatus: the speakers have to give a presentation on a slide deck they’ve never seen before\, with the topic determined at random by the Wheel of Destiny. Each presentation will be rated by a panel of judges and the winner applauded as the PowerPointless champion. Afterwards there’s a chance to mingle with the presenters and the Courtyard’s Corporate Team for mocktails (and a chance to find out more about the Courtyard’s Corporate Academy). \nIt’s free\, with donations welcome; but you need to put your name on the guestlist via the website. It’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n

SUMMARY:Perfect Days: dir Wim Wenders (2023)
DESCRIPTION:Writer-director Wim Wenders tells a Tokyo-set story that celebrates the hidden joys and minutiae of Japanese culture . Winner of Best Actor at Cannes 2023\, Koji Yakusho stars as Hirayama\, a contemplative middle-aged man who lives a life of modesty and serenity\, spending his days balancing his job as a dutiful caretaker of Tokyo’s numerous public toilets with his passion for music\, literature and photography; as we join him on his structured daily routine\, a series of unexpected encounters gradually begin to reveal a hidden past that lies behind his otherwise content and harmonious life. This is a subtle\, shimmering and ultimately life-affirming reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.

SUMMARY:Emo de Meideros: Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence – the Artist\, the Machine and the Spirit
DESCRIPTION:The Benininese artist\, often associated with afrofuturism\, considers how the AI revolution is opening up a new area of uncertainty in contemporary art: that of the complex triangulation between artist\, machine and mind. Is this a redefinition of the contours of creation? Is there opposition or complementarity between human creation and artificial logic? Control or abdication? Does the mind transcend algorithmic matter\, or does it risk losing itself in its own mechanized echoes? de Medeiros will introduce us to his work as an artist and thinker and question the stakes of new tools in contemporary creative processes. \nThis talk is given in English.

SUMMARY:Max Richter
DESCRIPTION:Max Richter\, a leading figure in contemporary classical music and top film scores (and something of a favourite with Dubai audiences)\, is touring his latest studio album In a Landscape – field recordings from his travels and from around the rural studio where he recorded the album\, some of which have been lauded by critics as among the most beautiful pieces in his catalogue.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s most peopular evening of elimination improv. 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. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Arooj Aftab
DESCRIPTION:The uber-cool Pakistani-American singer (and songwriter\, and producer) brings her latest – and very good – album Night Reign to Dubai. It’s elegantly jazzy\, earning a 2024 Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Jazz Album (she didn’t win: it was a very strong year); the Wall Street Journal said “[Night Reign’s] beauty is self-evident\, and it stands on its own”. Recommended\, even if it looks a little pricey (but tickets to Zabeel Theatre concerts do buy you a 20% discount on F&B at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray\, which might help soften the blow).

SUMMARY:Remote Al Ain by Rimini Protokoll
DESCRIPTION:Rimini Protokoll pushes the boundaries of conventional theatre. During this performance walk within the collective’s ‘Remote X’ series (2013–ongoing)\, you are invited to explore the growing presence of artificial intelligence in future cities; for this tour\, designed specifically for Al Ain\, you wear headphones (provided) and are guided by a computer-generated voice (in Arabic or English) into familiar and unfamiliar sites “that emerge as if from an imagined film”. \nThe starting point is Al Jahili Fort. \nThe Rimini Protokoll experience is remarkable and can be eye-opening; the collective has done Abu Dhabi a couple of times in the past\, as part of early Abu Dhabi Art extras\, and we’d heartily recommend the trip … \nThis is part of the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial. \nFuture dates: \n6 April\n13 April\n20 April\n27 April \n

DESCRIPTION:Nadine Ghandour’s first solo exhibition in the UAE\, curated by Dawn Ross\, features recent works informed by her experiences in various cities\, including Dubai\, Sharjah\, Cairo and Rotterdam. Working with drawing\, writing\, performance and sculpture\, Ghandour creates works that depict imagined (and often farcical) situations set within cities\, exploring the impact of rapid urban development on those environments. “The fast-forward city gives rise to characters who are chronically uncertain”\, says the gallery\, “navigating and coexisting within these fragile architectures\, while constantly teetering on the brink of change or collapse”. \nTo 18 May.

SUMMARY:Bombino
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1980 in a nomadic Tuareg encampment just outside Agadez in Niger\, Bombino (born Goumour Almoctar\, also known as Oumara Moctar) came of age during much political upheaval\, fleeing with his family to Algeria by 1990\, and teaching himself guitar by watching videos of Jimi Hendrix\, Dire Straits\, Ali Farka Toure and Tinariwen. His performances showcase evocative rhythms\, captivating vocals\, and awe-inspiring guitar playing that led the New York Times calling him “the Sultan of Shred”. The first-ever artist from Niger to receive a Grammy nomination (Best World Music Album in 2018)\, Bombino manages to fuse traditional Berber rhythms with stunning rock n roll and songs about peace in the Sahel. A rare chance to see a rare talent.

SUMMARY:Hady Boraey: Migrants to the North
DESCRIPTION:The second solo show at this gallery for the Egyptian artist\, featuring new works with themes of memory\, nostalgia\, and childhood. Inspired by ancient Egyptian and Coptic art\, Boraey heavily depends on metaphors\, “taking his audience on a dramatic journey filled with poetic nuances to coax them into new territory beyond their comfort zones” as the gallery puts it. \nThe artist himself says the inspiration came from his father’s library: “In my journey from childhood to maturity\, I was affected and dreamed a lot of another distant land to live in. There is nothing in it but a rock\, a horse\, a tree and a lake. A pure\, simple dream. Here\, in some of these paintings\, I tried to convey my childhood dream in paintings that carry many of the feelings of Hady the child\, whose life took him far from his home in the Delta. He still dreams of the legends of his grandmother’s old tales …” \nTo 5 April.

SUMMARY:Hold the Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:The dynamic of a close-knit family of three is altered when the daughter introduces her boyfriend into their world: the father doesn’t think the boy is good enough\, arguments and ruptures follow\, and all those involved have different perspectives … The play is about relationships\, value systems\, and prejudices – how we are unable to express ourselves and how pride won’t allow us to make up with our loved ones. Written by Binoy Mohan\, it’s directed by Dubai theatre veteran Rashmi Kotriwala. \nThere are shows today at 2.30 and 7.30pm\, and tomorrow at 2.30pm.
