SUMMARY:Into The Beat | Dein Herz Tanzt: dir Stefan Westerwelle (2020)
DESCRIPTION:A great coming-of-age movie – teen destined for ballet stardom discovers hip hop dance. She finds a new passion that challenges everything she knows. Torn between ballet and hip-hop\, Kaya must decide which path to follow: the one set by her family or her newfound love for dance. The feel-good vibe is matched with a strong but deftly handled ideological message: the hip hop culture is full of new age dynamism\, and it tears down the class barriers that still surround classical ballet. Screens in the MOVE ON FILM season.

SUMMARY:Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial: Tania Candiani’s Nomadic Stage
DESCRIPTION:Tania Candiani’s contribution to the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial features an inflatable mobile stage that moves across the city\, transforming urban spaces into hubs for collective exchange and endowing these spaces with renewed significance. The performers for this live music show are … \n7.15pm Bait Al Oud (duo – violin\, percussion)\n8.20pm Manic Mundate (we think they mean Manic Mundane\, the solo project of musician and bedroom producer Kath Dizon: in which case expect some cool triphop ish vibes)\n9.20pm James Kelly (turntablist\, composer\, DJ) \nWe’re not certain of the location\, but it’s probably at her site on the Corniche opposite the Urban Park. \n

SUMMARY:Remote Al Ain by Rimini Protokoll
DESCRIPTION:Rimini Protokoll pushes the boundaries of conventional theatre.

SUMMARY:Abu Dhabi Art: day four
DESCRIPTION:The 16th edition of Abu Dhabi Art has 102 galleries\, the largest number to date. It has five principal sectors: \nModern & Contemporary: for established galleries (who have been operating for at least seven years) with curatorial framework for booth presentations. This is the main section\, with more than 30 galleries showing \nSpecial Projects: solo or dual artist presentations by individual galleries – we count 28 of these \nEmerge: for artworks priced under $3\,000 – nine participants this year \nBidaya: for emerging galleries (operating for less than three years) who are first-time participants. There are two exhibitors \nFocus: galleries invited to participate with specific artists chosen by a guest curator. There are Focus sectors for Hong Kong\, Latin America\, Women Artists and Sustainability (some very interesting selections here\, curated by Riccarda Mandrini) \nThis year there’s also a new regional section called Something Bold\, Something New; eight participating galleries – most of them regular participants in Abu Dhabi Art – will present works by modernist artists “whose practices and legacies are long overdue recognition and appreciation”. \nSilk Road; Drifting Identities is another new section\, this one for artists and galleries from Central Asia and the Caucasus. “These seem important debuts\, because they open long-forgotten discussions around the Silk Road\, which has come to represent a journey of self-discovery for travellers\, a search for identity\, and a time of metamorphosis”. \nThe Collectors Salon is perhaps the most interesting innovation. It’s described as a response to the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s lead in exploring connections between civilisations and cultures across time; so eight exhibitors will present manuscripts\, astrolabes\, historical objects\, rare books and 19th century Orientalist paintings. \nAs well as the conventional art fair\, Abu Dhabi Art places a lot of emphasis on its public engagement programme – installations\, commissions\, exhibitions\, talks and events throughout the year. Worth catching are the Beyond Emerging Artists exhibits at the Manarat (this programme provides three emerging artists in the UAE – Dina Nazmi Korchid\, Simrin Mehra Agarwal\, Fatima Al Ali – with a platform from which to realise ambitious art projects) and installations in Al Ain (site-specific artworks at Al Ain Oasis and Al Jahili Fort)

SUMMARY:Nico Van Lucas: I PAINT COLORS
DESCRIPTION:Twelve paintings by the Italian artist featuring his trademark explosions of vivid colour\, including his take on the UAE flag (above). He says his works place attention not on the subject\, but rather on the gesture: “painting becomes the intermediary\, while the arm\, which lashes the colour on the canvas\, becomes a connection with the boundless spaces of the imagination …”

SUMMARY:Rumors!
DESCRIPTION:Complices Théâtre presents Neil Simon’s farcical package of gags\, twists and zingers. A group of friends gathers for a dinner party\, only to find that something is not quite right – the kitchen staff have vanished\, the hostess is missing\, and the host has shot himself in the head (accidentally\, as it turns out). That’s just the start of the evening; as more guests arrive\, each adds their own twist to the unfolding situation … It’s really a very good play\, with clever dialogue and moments of tension amid the comedy. Jihane Tehini directs. \nThere are performances on 22\, 23 and 24 November at 8pm\, with a matinée at 2.30pm on 24 November. It’s played in English\, with subtitles in French too.

SUMMARY:Les Demoiselles de Rochefort: dir Jacques Demy (1996)
DESCRIPTION:Delphine is a dance teacher ; her sister Solange composes and teaches the piano. Maxence\, a poet and a painter\, is doing his military service; Simon owns a music shop. They are all looking for love\, without being aware that their ideal partner is very close … Demy’s extravagant tribute to the Hollywood musicals that had so enchanted him in his youth featured not just singing\, but also dancing\, multiple interwoven storylines\, and roles for some of his favourite actors – Michel Piccoli\, Jacques Perrin\, Gene Kelly\, Catherine Deneuve and more. The result is regarded by many as the best French film musical ever made. Screens in the MOVE ON FILM season.

SUMMARY:Zazie dans le métro: dir Louis Malle (1960)
DESCRIPTION:Classic surrealistic slapstick from France: Zazie is a brash and precocious ten-year-old (Catherine Demongeot) who comes to Paris for a whirlwind weekend with her rakish uncle (Philippe Noiret); he and the viewer get more than they bargained for\, however. Louis Malle anarchic\, surrealistic comedy\, based on a popular novel by Raymond Queneau that had been considered unadaptable\, rides roughshod over the City of Light. Made with real flair\, Zazie dans le métro is stream-of-consciousness slapstick\, full of great visual gags and editing tricks … Highly recommended. In French\, with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Abu Dhabi Art: day three
DESCRIPTION:The 16th edition of Abu Dhabi Art has 102 galleries\, the largest number to date. It has five principal sectors: \nModern & Contemporary: for established galleries (who have been operating for at least seven years) with curatorial framework for booth presentations. This is the main section\, with more than 30 galleries showing \nSpecial Projects: solo or dual artist presentations by individual galleries – we count 28 of these \nEmerge: for artworks priced under $3\,000 – nine participants this year \nBidaya: for emerging galleries (operating for less than three years) who are first-time participants. There are two exhibitors \nFocus: galleries invited to participate with specific artists chosen by a guest curator. There are Focus sectors for Hong Kong\, Latin America\, Women Artists and Sustainability (some very interesting selections here\, curated by Riccarda Mandrini) \nThis year there’s also a new regional section called Something Bold\, Something New; eight participating galleries – most of them regular participants in Abu Dhabi Art – will present works by modernist artists “whose practices and legacies are long overdue recognition and appreciation”. \nSilk Road; Drifting Identities is another new section\, this one for artists and galleries from Central Asia and the Caucasus. “These seem important debuts\, because they open long-forgotten discussions around the Silk Road\, which has come to represent a journey of self-discovery for travellers\, a search for identity\, and a time of metamorphosis”. \nThe Collectors Salon is perhaps the most interesting innovation. It’s described as a response to the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s lead in exploring connections between civilisations and cultures across time; so eight exhibitors will present manuscripts\, astrolabes\, historical objects\, rare books and 19th century Orientalist paintings. \nAs well as the conventional art fair\, Abu Dhabi Art places a lot of emphasis on its public engagement programme – installations\, commissions\, exhibitions\, talks and events throughout the year. Worth catching are the Beyond Emerging Artists exhibits at the Manarat (this programme provides three emerging artists in the UAE – Dina Nazmi Korchid\, Simrin Mehra Agarwal\, Fatima Al Ali – with a platform from which to realise ambitious art projects) and installations in Al Ain (site-specific artworks at Al Ain Oasis and Al Jahili Fort)

SUMMARY:Fashionarte
DESCRIPTION:We don’t normally do fashion in magpie\, but we do have a soft spot for Goshopia and its founder Araceli Gallego\, repository and advocate respectively for sustainably-sourced don’t-scare-the-horses style in practical but very goodlooking wear\, mostly for women. And now Goshopia is offering a month-long exhibition at Chaka Arts’ place in Al Fahidi that “reimagines sustainable fashion as museum-worthy wearable art … FashionArte represents a significant milestone in Dubai’s sustainable fashion movement\, offering visitors the unique opportunity to experience eco-conscious fashion through an artistic lens while supporting ethical makers and designers”. \nSo\, “sustainable fashion as curated art pieces”? Ms Gallego says this “revolutionises the traditional retail experience”. At the very least it will be worth checking out some big claims … \nThe whole experience is very fashion-y\, with a catwalk and opening and closing parties (register in advance and you might get a ticket). There will also be weekly Fashion Majlis discussions: \n28 November 6pm Innovative Materials in Fashion register here\n5 December 6pm Circularity in Fashion register here\n12 December 6pm AI & Technology in Fashion register here \nTo 21 December.

SUMMARY:Lang Lang Plays Disney
DESCRIPTION:Top international pianist plus full orchestra and “special guests”plays Disney soundtracks – “a musical and visual experience of Disney’s most popular songs”. Lang Lang has been touring his take on Disney for some time – Disney has a 60-minute TV special filmed in 2023 with Alfie Boe and the RPO – but we’re told this is a new show that promises “a live musical interpretation of the most beloved songs of one’s childhood and perhaps those of one’s children too”. As he puts it\, “I hope that people of all ages will enjoy this and experience the joy that we all felt the first time we saw a Disney film”.
