SUMMARY:Susan Kosti: What Lies Beneath
DESCRIPTION:The Sydney-based media artist and motion graphic designer has assembled a cutting-edge immersive 3D-projection show that translates ocean data collected by NASA into what the organisers describe as “a stunning kaleidoscope of vibrant corals and sea creatures … What Lies Beneath uses a unique visual language and goes far beyond the analytical origins of data visualisation by becoming a work of art”. \nThis a new version of a project that was commissioned by NSW Destination and presented at Vivid Sydney last year. To 30 June.

SUMMARY:Entrusted Ground
DESCRIPTION:A 40-minute dance performance conceived as part of artist Gözde İlkin’s installation in the current NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery exhibition In Real Time (which ends on 9 June). It’s a collaboration between İlkin\, choreographer Aslı Öztürk\, musician Berke Can Özcan\, and NYUAD Art Gallery’s curator Duygu Demir; it features dancers Barış Diker\, Alara Erdem and Umut Özdaloğlu. Demir says the installation is conceived as “a home to homeless stones\, a shift for dancers and twigs\, a prayer for fractures\, or a dream enveloped in echoes that come from the four corners of the world … On the one hand\, the installation is a landscape painting stretched to three dimensions\, on the other\, it is a stage for sound and movement”. \nThe performance\, like the installation\, revolves around the classical elements of fire\, air\, earth\, and water. The dancers embody those elements\, tracing an abstract journey of transformation from dust to the human\, and beyond. Öztürk’s choreography\, informed by somatic bodywork\, takes cues from the imagery of İlkin’s two-dimensional textile works\, carrying them into the three-dimensional space\, and activates the artist’s soft sculptures with movement to create moving landscapes. Berke Can Özcan’s music combines the soundscape of the field recordings he created for the Entrusted Ground installation with sections from his previous album\, Mountains are Mountains. \nThe performance takes place on 9 May at 6.30pm\, and again on 11 May at 12pm and 5pm.

SUMMARY:Circa: Duck Pond
DESCRIPTION:The world’s most romantic ballet reimagined as “a family-friendly acrobatic spectacular”? Australia’s Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the globe’s leading performance companies\, pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances and drawing rave reviews and standing ovations across six continents since its foundation in 2006. \nDuck Pond is one of the company’s most ambitious works yet\, an exuberant take on Swan Lake (with a hint of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling) that mixes the enchantment of the ballet with the thrill of the circus. It’s full of Circa’s signature physicality and is shot through with cheeky humour\, colourful surrealism\, and a thoroughly contemporary energy. You’ll see a clumsy film crew\, a sequinned flipper-wearing army of ducks\, and a burlesque black swan in this tale of identity and finding your true self; there are sumptuous aerials\, enchanting duets\, jaw-dropping acrobatics\, and many\, many feathers … \nA review of the early performances in Australia last year called it “a cleverly inventive and astonishing blend of many art forms\, primarily circus\, ballet\, theatre and classical music” and promised that “Duck Pond may just be one of the most exhilarating and thought-provoking shows you will see this year”. \nDuck Pond was created by circus visionary (and Circa’s founder) Yaron Lifschitz (“the Caravaggio of contemporary circus”) with ten members of the ensemble. The music is by Jethro Woodward (“with hints of Tchaikovsky”) and haute couture costumes are courtesy of Libby McDonnell. The performance will be followed by a post-show Q&A with the artists\, moderated by actress Francesca Bizzarri; there are further performances on 11 and 12 May at 3pm. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Entrusted Ground
DESCRIPTION:The final performances of this 40-minute dance performance\, conceived as part of artist Gözde İlkin’s installation in the current NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery exhibition In Real Time (which ends on 9 June). It’s a collaboration between İlkin\, choreographer Aslı Öztürk\, musician Berke Can Özcan\, and NYUAD Art Gallery’s curator Duygu Demir; it features dancers Barış Diker\, Alara Erdem and Umut Özdaloğlu. Demir says the installation is conceived as “a home to homeless stones\, a shift for dancers and twigs\, a prayer for fractures\, or a dream enveloped in echoes that come from the four corners of the world … On the one hand\, the installation is a landscape painting stretched to three dimensions\, on the other\, it is a stage for sound and movement”. \nThe performance\, like the installation\, revolves around the classical elements of fire\, air\, earth\, and water. The dancers embody those elements\, tracing an abstract journey of transformation from dust to the human\, and beyond. Öztürk’s choreography\, informed by somatic bodywork\, takes cues from the imagery of İlkin’s two-dimensional textile works\, carrying them into the three-dimensional space\, and activates the artist’s soft sculptures with movement to create moving landscapes. Berke Can Özcan’s music combines the soundscape of the field recordings he created for the Entrusted Ground installation with sections from his previous album\, Mountains are Mountains. \nThe performance takes place at 12pm and 5pm.

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop | Object Lessons: Bad Diaspora Poems
DESCRIPTION:Led by poet and researcher Momtaza Mehri\, this writing workshop traces what diaspora means as a space of both collectivity and tension. Paryicipants are invited to “write around\, and through\, objects that represent the inward facing\, closely-held relationship we have to our diaspora” and each should bring along an object that speaks to their time in the Gulf as a site of centuries-deep diasporic encounters and frissons.

SUMMARY:Alserkal Community Lane Takeover
DESCRIPTION:Alserkal Avenue is being taken over for this weekend’s evenings by a food festival involving the Avenue’s own F&B outlets and a mass of invited incomers. Should be good – and the highlight of the first evening will probably be a live gig from Jindi. Born and raised in the UAE\, the award-winning Sudanese singer/songwriter has crafted a distinctive and highly danceable take on Afrobeat. He’s known for his electrifying live performances\, so this al fresco intro to his new album Reign and Fire should make for a great evening; “across the album\, Jindi’s ability to traverse diverse cultures shines through a fusion of genres\, from RnB and Dancehall to Afrobeat\, creating a global resonance” opines the PR blurb. In magpie’s view the standout track is HASSA\, created with top Nigerian producer MasterKraft. He’s on at 7pm and we’re promised an hour or so from him; otherwise there will be DJs\, including The Flip Side’s Shadi Megallaa

SUMMARY:Circa: Duck Pond
DESCRIPTION:The final Abu Dhabi performance for this exuberant take on Swan Lake (with a hint of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling) that mixes the enchantment of the ballet with the thrill of the circus. Australia’s Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the globe’s leading performance companies\, pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances and drawing rave reviews and standing ovations across six continents since its foundation in 2006; Duck Pond is one of the company’s most ambitious works yet\, full of Circa’s signature physicality and shot through with cheeky humour\, colourful surrealism\, and a thoroughly contemporary energy. You’ll see a clumsy film crew\, a sequinned flipper-wearing army of ducks\, and a burlesque black swan in this tale of identity and finding your true self; there are sumptuous aerials\, enchanting duets\, jaw-dropping acrobatics\, and many\, many feathers … \n

SUMMARY:Dubai Bibliophiles Book Club – Toni Morrison's Beloved
DESCRIPTION:The book group discusses what is arguably Morrison’s finest literary work\, a multi-layered attempt to give voice to the collective memory of African Americans that also explores notions of family\, trauma\, the repression of memory\, and of course the restoration of the historical record. Published in 1987\, it won a Pullitzer Prize and New York Times poll of critics ranked it as the best work of American fiction between 1981 and 2006. Well worth reading\, and a rich source for discussion.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Salomé Chatriot: If That Glass Breaks Humanity is Doomed
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition show for a magpie favourite. Salomé Chatriot’s work merges technology with organic elements to suggest a harmony between human and machine\, advocating for a future where technology and humanity coexist. There’s no pessimism about technological progress\, just an exploration of opportunities to expand our relationships with it. And alongside that her 3D works consider issues of identity\, gender and sexuality with a distinctly erotic component …
