SUMMARY:Short+Sweet Dubai
DESCRIPTION:One of two 10-minute play festivals running concurrently in Dubai on six successive weekends with a basically similar format. This one is probably the more familiar name; it’s been running in Dubai for some years\, latterly as a franchise but now under direct control from the Short+Sweet organisation (the principle of a festival of 10-minute plays is common enough\, but S+S has put a lot of effort and experience into the format\, the rules\, the judging criteria\, and everything else you need for a successful event). Each of the S+S Dubai weekends (9-10 May is a break) features afternoon and evening sessions for 10 plays\, meaning you could see something around 80 microplays if you attended all weekend performances up to 16-17 May – the best return to compete for the top prizes on the Gala Weekend\, 23-24 May. \nTimes\, dates\, prices: \n3.00-5.00pm 19 April AED 100\n7.30-9.30pm 19 April AED 120\n3.00-5.00pm 25 April AED 100\n7.30-9.30pm 25 April AED 120\n3.00-5.00pm 26 April AED 100\n7.30-9.30pm 26 April AED 120\n3.00-5.00pm 2 May AED 100\n7.30-9.30pm 2 May AED 120\n3.00-5.00pm 3 May AED 100\n7.30-9.30pm 3 May AED 120\n3.00-5.00pm 16 May AED 150 People’s Choice Semi-Final 1\n7.30-9.30pm 16 May AED 150 People’s Choice Semi-Final 2\n3.00-5.00pm 17 May AED 150 Judge’s Choice Semi-Final 1\n7.30-9.30pm 17 May AED 150 Judge’s Choice Semi-Final 2\n

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.

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:LAST CHANCE The Poetry of Birds
DESCRIPTION:Following previous editions of this exhibition in Paris and Tokyo\, L’ÉCOLE\, School of Jewelry Arts aims to offer a dialogue between 19th and 20th-century Western jewellery and Islamic arts\, with poetry as the common thread. Jewels\, precious objects\, and gouaché drawings depicting birds from noted jewellers such as Van Cleef & Arpels\, Cartier\, Buccellati\, Boucheron\, Mellerio\, Falize\, Fabergé\, Boivin\, Mauboussin\, Marchak\, Chaumet\, and JAR will be showcased alongside a selection of Middle Eastern works of art\, including carpets\, ceramics\, metalware\, and miniatures mainly notably on loan from the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization and Dubai Museums. \nEmirati artist Faisal Al Rais’s contemporary photography\, showcasing the beauty and profound symbolism of birds\, will also make its public debut as part of the show. Freely inspired by Farid al-Din Attar’s The Conference of the Birds (circa 1117)\, the exhibition is conceived as a poetic experience beginning with poems from renowned poets from the region\, followed by a display of bejewelled bird species including falcons\, and culminating in an aviary of imaginary birds by French jeweller Pierre Sterlé (1905-1978). \n“Birds have long held a sacred place in the cultures of the Middle East — as symbols of freedom\, renewal\, and the human spirit\,” said Marie-Laure Cassius-Duranton\, L’ÉCOLE Senior Exhibition Contents Project Manager. “We wanted to honour that tradition while showcasing how these symbols echo across time and continents through art\, poetry\, and jewellery. This exhibition is not just about beauty\, but about the stories and meanings behind it — how the smallest motif can carry centuries of memory\, emotion\, and craftsmanship.”

SUMMARY:Young Picasso: dir Phil Grabsky (2019)
DESCRIPTION:Documentarist Phil Grabsky has carved a niche for himself by concentrating for the most part on films about artists – composers first\, then more recently painters; Young Picasso is both typical of this work and one the best examples of it. The film looks at the early period in the artist’s life from his birth in Málaga in 1881 to the shocked reactions to Les Demoiselles d’Avignon\, painted in 1907 when he was just 25. It’s true that even greater shocks lay ahead for the art world\, with increasingly innovative and stylised work\, but the art of Picasso’s youth – ranging from childhood paintings through the Blue Period (1901-1904) to the Rose Period (1904 -1906) and Les Demoiselles – are a fascinating story of how he got there from here. \nIn Young Picasso\, a number of curators comment on Picasso’s development\, along with his grandson Olivier Widmaier Picasso; we also here the words of Picasso himself and others responding to his art. Grabsky lets modern-day shots indicate the atmosphere of the important locations of his development\, Málaga\, Barcelona and Paris; but the past is captured vividly enough\, not least through the tragic end of his friend Carlos Casagema and the influence of his mistress Fernande Olivier. Grabsky delivers all of this in a well-judged and unforced approach. There’s nothing here in the way of revelations or shocks; what you do get is a consistently reliable\, intelligent and highly watchable introduction to Picasso. Recommended. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Rays\, Ripples\, Residue
DESCRIPTION:This major exhibition marks the ten-year anniversary of 421 Arts Campus and offers a chance to reflect on emergent artistic practices in the UAE\, their possibilities\, and challenges for the future. Featuring video\, performance\, installation\, and multimedia works\, it invites conversations around what it means to produce art in the UAE today from the vantage point of emerging artists\, collectives\, and grassroots initiatives\, to the influential role of cultural institutions that have supported and platformed these practices. \nIt’s realised through three curatorial perspectives\, all with time as a central theme: \nMunira Al Sayegh’s Leading to the Middle draws on the nature of expansion found within a ripple effect\, tracing the influence of key actors whose contributions have created lasting reverberations. Featured artists include Mohammed Ahmed Ibrahim\, Tarek Al-Ghoussein\, Bait15\, Adele Bea Cipste\, Khaled Esguerra\, Lamya Gargash\, and Auguste Nomeiakaite. \nIn Ghosts of Arrival\, Nadine Khalil meditates on the layered experience of arriving after a time of artistic ferment\, risk-taking\, and a now-mythologized energy that shaped cultural production in the UAE from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s. Rather than restaging or romanticizing the past\, Khalil proposes that the memory of risk itself becomes a material\, informing art-making and exhibition-building in the present. Featured artists include Tarek Al-Ghoussein\, Mona Ayyash and Nadine Ghandour\, Lucinda Childs\, Maria Daher\, Sarah Daher\, Cristalina Parra\, Bait Juma\, Hashel Lamki\, Sara Naim\, and Isaac Sullivan. \nMurtaza Vali’s SUN gathers artworks created and exhibited since 2015 that revolve around the idea and experience of the sun. Her section presents a nuanced view of the sun as a mediated and commodified presence – at once image\, data\, brand\, vibe\, and produc\, revealing the contradictions embedded in narratives of modernity and progress. Featured artists include Charbel-joseph H. Boutros\, Khalid Jauffer\, Raja’a Khalid\, Nima Nabavi\, Pratchaya Phinthong\, Sa Tahanan Co. (Jandri Angelo Aguilor\, Farah Fawzi Ali\, Preschelle Ann Bigueras\, Anna Bernice delos Reyes\, Alexandra Chaves\, Niño Consorte\, John Gatapia\, Balaram Ochangco\, Augustine Paredes\, Nicolas Roa)\, Shazia Salam\, and Lantian Xie. \nWhile all distinct in approach\, each section has a shared focus on the minor pivots rather than major inflection points. A look at overlooked gestures that accumulated over time\, Rays\, Ripples\, Residue illustrates the impact of subtle shifts that have shaped the past decade of art-making and exhibition building. It also sets the tone for the next decade of 421 and the UAE’s growing arts ecosystem\, asking what ideas will still carry forward into the next decade?

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.

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:LAST CHANCE Shamsa Al Omaira: Hard Like Tears\, Soft Like Glass
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition for Shamsa Al Omaira\, an Abu Dhabi based multidisciplinary artist and designer. Evocations of duality occupy a prominent position in her work; childhood bedding and memories of jelly desserts morph into soft-looking sculptures laced with hidden or overt symbols of harm in ceramic and glass shards. How precarious is childhood? \nAs part of the gallery’s programme\, Al Omaira was mentored by UAE-based curator and art critic Nadine Khalil over the last year\, resulting in a development of her practice and experimentation with new mediums\, including woodwork\, stitching and installation works.

Viral memes\, talking falcons\, automated toy cars and insect light traps all function as tools to process accelerating change; together\, these works explore how the overarching desire for development is absorbed and rearticulated in everyday life.
