SUMMARY:Laughter Factory: “Menace To Society” Tour
DESCRIPTION:A night in Abu Dhabi for the latest Laughter Factory tour – Dana Alexander (originally from Canada\, now based there and in the UK) tours a lot and has been a hit in Dubai before; her style has been described as “smart\, irreverent and revolutionary” which bodes well. Jimmy Mcghie is another hard-working international tourer\, whose 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show was reviewed in the Scotsman as “one of the most accomplished hours of comedy you will find here this month. Or\, to be honest\, anywhere\, any time …” If loose Women was more outrageous\, Dubai’s very own Bronwyn Byrnes would be a regular – we’re promised “a hilarious journey of life in Dubai”. Also UAE-based is Miqdaad Dohadwala\, who founded the comedy collective VDesi Laughs and has been seen regularly at gigs in Dubai. \nUpcoming dates: \n\n20 Oct Media Rotana\, Al Barsha Heights\, Dubai\n21 Oct Dukes Hotel\, The Palm Dubai

SUMMARY:Amr Diab
DESCRIPTION:The Egyptian singer (and songwriter\, and actor) has a magnetic stage presence and a great back catalogue\, based on more than 30 albums and four decades of contribution to the Arabic and global music scene – and especially his way of fusing traditional Arabic songs with modern pop and electronic styles. Should be a good gig.

SUMMARY:Nine Nodes of Non-Being
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition with works by nine artists\, thinkers\, filmmakers\, and researchers from East\, South\, Southeast Asia\, the MENA region\, and South America. Curated by Ritika Biswas\, it conceives of climate-related extinction through various states of negation and excess emerging from each of the nine artistic nodes to examine ways of existing more equitably within our ongoing crises. “The artistic worlds presented here are not merely signifiers of extinction but real propositions for the unknown … Through these excessive modes\, we think about ways of non-being and the climate apocalypse itself in ways we have likely never considered—through kitsch\, rest\, cringe\, bathos\, abstraction\, silliness\, melancholy\, madness\, and the weird”. \nThe artists: \n\nMariam AlZayani\nFayçal Baghriche\nClemencia Echeverri\nUNMAKE LAB\nMalik Irtiza Zara Mahmood\nAmba Sayal-Bennett\nApichatpong Weerasethakul\nAyman Zedani\n\nNine Nodes of Non-Being emerged from a year-long journey as part of the 421 Curatorial Development Exhibition Program in collaboration with The Bombay Institute for Critical Analysis and Research (BICAR). \nTo 31 December.

SUMMARY:Sharjah International Film Festival for Children and Youth (SIFF)
DESCRIPTION:SIFF is back for its tenth edition on 22 to 28 October with an official selection of 81 films from 37 countries (slightly down on last year\, which saw 90+ from 47 countries). But “the new edition promises to exceed audience expectations” said Sheikha Jawaher Bint Abdullah Al Qasimi\, SIFF’s director\, in her press statement; certainly there will be three world premieres and no fewer than 53 Middle East premieres. \nThere are screenings in seven categories\, all competitive – Student Films\, GCC Short Films\, International Shorts\, Animations\, Animated Features\, and Feature Films. There’s also a Green Carpet platform which will offer audiences the chance to see films (four of them) with a director’s Q&A; there are also eight talks and ‘open discussions’. \nWe can’t currently tell you much more than that; the website does list what films are being shown and when\, but otherwise it’s largely bereft of useful information and clearly has some very outdated pages (including the director’s message\, which still refers to the online-only Festival of 2021). Apparently ticket prices are the normal charges for Vox films and you can book them online via the Vox website as usual; the main location is Vox City Centre Al Zahia but we understand Mirdif City Centre and City Centre Ajman will have the screenings as well. \nAbove: still from Titina\, dir Kajsa Naess (Norway/Belgium\, 2022)

SUMMARY:Asma Belhamar: Solid Void
DESCRIPTION:This solo exhibition captures the tensions between shifting natural geographies and dynamic urban environments\, featuring new works inspired by the UAE’s architectural history. It narrates the topographic evolution of the UAE\, as influenced by Western classical modernity\, contemporary traditionalism in Islam\, and the historic trade relationships that shaped much of that landscape; the artist’s interpretation reveals the diversity and fragmentation of the design sensibilities that have made the nation’s aesthetic identity what it is today. \nSolid Void is the result of the 2023 edition of 421’s Artistic Development Program\, organised in collaboration with The Institute for Emerging Art. \nTo 31 December.

SUMMARY:Karama Arts Club: Local Matters – The Making of a Music Scene
DESCRIPTION:The intelligent networking session for creative peers is back after its summer break with an extended evening session – a social (with private bar) for members and guests (5.30 to 8.30) followed by the meat of the evening\, a panel discussion on the music scene locally. Panellists will “get right back to basics to dissect the current climate and present practical solutions to work towards a thriving local music scene” including “how the relentless pursuit of imported acts has overshadowed the potential of local talent and stunted the growth of a vibrant homegrown music scene”. \nThe panel: \n\nCharl Chaka Dubai-based creative\, artist\, and DJ who’s had a hugely influential role in shaping the local music scene since 2004. He’s responsible for INFUSION magazine\, too\nRima Rached Founder of Third Eye Crew and the Electric Days events (now rebranded as Vibe Series). Rima’s talent for spotting emerging artists has contributed to global dance music’s growth in the Middle East\nJayesh Veralkar Another of the top movers n shakers in Dubai’s alternate music scene. Part of the Dolby Middle East & Africa team\, founder of Vinyl Souk DXB\, co-founder of and a resident selector at Honeycomb Hi-Fi\nKaram Toubba A producer at Phenomena Productions\, creators of the Last Seen Live platform for local musicians. He’s played in bands since 2004\, was Music Director for Decibel DXB\, curates MiZa Community Radio\, and DJs himself\n\nTarik Omar moderates. His chops include Bahrain’s FarmFest\, establishing community arts space Malja in collaboration with Red Bull\, working with MUTEK’s DigiLab in Dubai\, and a day job as AV Coordinator at the Sharjah Art Foundation. \nThat should run from 8.30 to around 9.45pm\, and afterwards the private bar is open till 11. Incidentally\, KAC has stuck a new label on its panel sessions – the ‘Arts Unfiltered Series’\, which better describes the vibe they want to nurture. \nAccess to the Club’s evenings is free\, sort of\, but (a) you have to be a member … and membership is free\, too\, but you have to be nominated by an existing club member since this “ensures the sound\, organic growth of a trusted community”; and (b) the venue requires a minimum F&B spend in advance. These packages start at AED 75 for three soft drinks or AED 110 for two alcoholic drinks. But hey you were going to buy a drink anyhow\, right?

There’s a new angle to the event for this season – as well as the standard improv there’s the Courtyard’s first ever bilingual improv format featuring the three Ahmeds. \nClassic Courtyard stuff.

SUMMARY:Mathilde Magnier: What We Leave Behind
DESCRIPTION:This series of images of the UAE\, started when Mathilde Magnier Rabate moved to the Emirates in 2014\, attempts to document the impact of the country’s rapid transformation on the Emirati traditional landscape and ecosystems. In a part of the world where nature long remained untouched\, the photographer’s aim is to question how such changes may transform the local environment as well as the relationship between people and their natural habitat. \nMathilde Magnier Rabate was featured at this year’s RAK Fine Arts Festival. We were also impressed with a thoughtful and sharply-realised essay on change shown at Alliance Française Dubai a year ago. This one should be as good. \nTo 13 November.

SUMMARY:Jamal Tayara-Baroudy: Ways of Seeing
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by the UAE-based Lebanese artist\, an alumna of Tashkeel’s Critical Practice Programme 2022. \nThe subject of Jamal’s research over the last 18 months has been the giant milkweed\, a species of flowering plant native to MENASA that is often seen as invasive and toxic but has applications in agriculture\, petroleum\, roofing\, traditional medicine\, and cosmetics. The artist has used various parts of it in producing this new body of work\, including pods\, fibres\, seeds\, stalks\, and leaves. \nThe exhibition raises awareness about the importance of plants as a natural\, sustainable resource. It serves as a call to revisit the collective wisdom of cultures and reconnect with the values and properties of flora\, once revered yet today regarded with contempt. \nTo 8 December. \n\n

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION: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 eliminated. 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 enough to grab a seat.

SUMMARY:David Garrett: ICONIC Tour 2023
DESCRIPTION:Violinist David Garrett has built a reputation for his fearless playing and genre-defying repertoire (he has won awards in both classical and pop categories). A genuine child prodigy\, he became the youngest artist to sign with Deutsche Grammophon at 13; aged 15\, he recorded all 24 Caprices by Paganini\, famously among the most difficult pieces written for violin. He studied at The Juilliard School in New York with Itzhak Perlman and has been described by Yehudi Menuhin as “the greatest violinist of his generation”. \nOver the past two decades David Garrett has performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors and reached new audiences around the globe with his classical and crossover repertoire. \nLate last year he released a new album\, Iconic\, which pays homage to the great violinists of the golden age. It represents a personal selection of repertoire gems\, including new arrangements for violin\, guitar and orchestra of pieces by Bach\, Gluck\, Mendelssohn\, Schumann\, Dvorák\, and Kreisler\, among others. Having been specially arranged for violin\, guitar\, and orchestra\, these pieces take on a fresh\, intimate\, and distinctive character. \nGarrett is joined for this concert by his guitarist and co-arranger\, Franck van der Heijden\, who also directs Orchestra The Prezent. “I’ve recorded many virtuoso albums myself\,” says the violinist. “This time it was particularly important to me to refocus on the essentials\, on what really speaks to the heart.”

SUMMARY:RAUXA CIA: The Crisis of Imagination
DESCRIPTION:RAUXA CIA\, a performance duo from Spain\, combines modern circus art and theatre in this story of two adults suddenly regaining their childhood imagination – “for a fleeting moment they find themselves in a world where anything is possible\,” says the blurb. “It’s only when this magical world disappears they realise that the delicate boundary between reality and imagination is defined solely by one’s perspective.” \nWe’re promised a one-hour show that is “touching\, absurd\, and profoundly sincere … Its multi-layered storytelling resonates with universal themes of kids’ imagination\, wordless storytelling\, simplicity\, and humour that transcend language barriers”. It’s inventive\, funny\, and clever.r\, wordless circus-like performance with a balloon and stepladder. \nThere are three more shows on 28 October.

SUMMARY:Global Notes: Linus Roth & Boris Kusnezow
DESCRIPTION:This is the gala opening performance for the Global Notes Series from Dubai Opera in collaboration with Encore Performing Arts. Global Notes is a new recital/concert programme “dedicated to celebrating the vibrant tapestry of cultural diversity and supporting young musicians from around the world”; we think in essence this means an opportunity to hear some excellent musicians in a relatively intimate setting\, though the phrase “gala opening” suggests it won’t be exactly informal … The ticket price includes a drink\, incidentally. \nLinus Roth\, who plays the 1703 Dancla Stradivarius on loan from Landesbank Baden-Württemberg\, is noted for his stylistic knowledge (as well as his performances as a soloist and chamber musician he is also an academic teacher of music and has been artistic director of music festivals) and his charismatic personality. For Linus’s Dubai debut we’re promised a programme of pieces from Brahms to Bartók that highlight his virtuosity and dynamic musicality. \nAccompanying him is one of the most sought-after collaborative pianists of his generation.\, Boris Kusnezow.

SUMMARY:Mayar Obeido: Mutual Change
DESCRIPTION:Over the last year\, the Dubai-based Syrian artist has produced a large body of work that explores the interconnectedness of everyday life. Interested in the concept of change and the visual possibilities of documenting this process\, Obeido’s work considers how the passage of time can alter an object’s appearance and physical state; as the monotony of daily routines causes us to interact and pay attention to the spaces and things that form reality\, the artist encourages a deeper look into how we experience everyday objects as a means of understanding consciousness. \nWhereas figurative painting and drawing are typically understood as snapshots of a time and place\, Obeido reimagines the compositional space as a site where images seem to evolve in real time. He achieves this sense of continuous motion by first covering his canvases with collaged newspapers that serve as a sort of timestamp\, establishing context. Using charcoal\, he then draws his riotous scenes over these textured surfaces. The paintings are finished with atmospheric washes of acrylic paint that bring these disparate layers together while illuminating his darkened scenes. \nTo 30 November. \nAbove: Mayar Obeido\, Apple Observer 2 (2023)

RAUXA CIA\, a performance duo from Spain\, combines modern circus art and theatre in this story of two adults suddenly regaining their childhood imagination – “for a fleeting moment they find themselves in a world where anything is possible\,” says the blurb. “It’s only when this magical world disappears they realize that the delicate boundary between reality and imagination is defined solely by one’s perspective.” \nThe shows are at 2pm\, 5pm and 8pm.
