SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s popular 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.

SUMMARY:Spices and Wonders: Sailing the Indian Ocean
DESCRIPTION:This spectacular exhibition follows a thousand years of maritime history and culture\, charting the routes that connected the civilisations of Africa\, Asia\, and beyond.

A second edition of this touring exhibition will be presented at Guimet next year. \nTo 14 February.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Fabian Philandrianos and Pascal Navarro: Beyond the Gaze
DESCRIPTION:“An exhibition exploring the perception and relationship between the viewer and the artwork … an invitation to discover what may appear when we take the time to look beyond the surface.” The two French artists offer a dialogue between the figurative and the abstract\, the intimate and the universal\, movement and stillness: “from the intensity of a human gaze to the vastness of an imagined landscape\, the works encourage us to slow down\, look again and allow perception to shift”.

SUMMARY:Mo Gilligan: The Mo You Know
DESCRIPTION:Multi-award-winning British comedian Mo Gilligan is stopping off at the Dubai Comedy Festival with his new show\, 90 minutes of solid material delivered with characteristic high-energy delivery. He’s moved seamlessly from viral one-minute internet sketches to sold-out hour-plus arena shows in a few short years – this show has been touring all around the world since January and it isn’t over yet – and he comes across as the kind of bloke whose success you can’t begrudge. Recommended.

SUMMARY:Mohamed Toukabri: Every-Body-Knows-What-Tomorrow-Brings-And-We-All-Know-What-Happened-Yesterday
DESCRIPTION:Known for his ability to navigate between different worlds – street and stage\, hip-hop and postmodernism\, personal and political – Mohamed Toukabri has a new solo work where movement becomes both excavation and rebellion.  Says SAF: “This piece pulses with the urgency of decolonising the imagination\, carving out a space where dance traditions do not compete but converse\, where forms long dismissed as ‘low’ hold their own against the canonised … The title is both a provocation and a reminder that the weight of history moves with us. What responsibility do we carry in what we pass on\, in what we erase or uphold?” \nThis is part of the fifth edition of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s season of curated performances that serve as an engaging space for exploring\, remembering and imagining – “treating the body as a site of artistic inquiry\, the programme shifts fluidly between intimate reflection and collective experience”.

SUMMARY:Morgan Jay: The Goofy Guy
DESCRIPTION:The 38-year-old comedian and content creator coined the term ‘goofy guy’ to capture his mix of lighthearted crowdwork\, musical performance\, and playful irreverence. He works hard at the job\, though; he obviously takes show preparation seriously\, and as a result manages to make his comedy work really well online (his Instagram and TikTok shows\, where he sings and interacts with his audience using a microphone and autotune\, have followers numbered in the millions) as well as in person. Expect a show that blends stand-up comedy\, live music (often improvised)\, and spontaneous crowd interaction. He’s a lot of fun and deserves all the likes he gets …

His daughter Patti (Anna Camp) has returned home after the collapse of her marriage\, his son David (Will Pullen) struggles to stay afloat\, his daughter-in-law Tammy (Jane Levy) is the only other person in his household who seems to value contemplation and repose. When Bill begins to suspect that David may be straying from his marital vows\, the father must confront the consequences for the family …

SUMMARY:Star Wars – A New Hope: dir George Lucas (1977)
DESCRIPTION:The original\, and possibly the best\, of the Star Wars mega-franchise. Written and directed by George Lucas\, and featuring one of the most dramatic intros ever\, this unmissable adventure introduced a galaxy of cleverly drawn characters – Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill)\, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his co-pilot Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew)\, and of course a masterful Jedi master in Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness). This is a newly restored version\, too. Essential viewing.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Sara Masinaei: Boundaries and Breaches
DESCRIPTION:Sara Masinaei’s solo show explores how urban spaces shape memory\, movement and lived experience: “through walking\, collecting found objects and recording traces of overlooked surfaces\, she treats the city’s ground as an active part of how we experience and navigate our surroundings”\, says the gallery. Her works include monoprints created by pressing canvas directly on to urban surfaces\, plus sculptural pieces that explore the tension between order and disruption. \nThis work results from Dom Arts’ Studio Support Programme\, introduced to gave artists space and time to develop their practices without requiring them to produce new work or meet predetermined outcomes.
