SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Higher Than The Sun 2: A Continual Journey

SUMMARY:Romance and War/Music and Technology: from David Lean's Brief Encounter to his Lawrence of Arabia
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the connected themes of romance and war in two of David Lean’s classics. Both films were about “transports of love and the transportation of warring parties”\, both comment on the post-Second World War context. What did it mean to make a British film for a newly emerging British film industry? How did this industry differ from that in America? How did the films play to an emerging sense of tourism and travel through British colonies? \nMost particularly\, Lydia Goehr\,  Professor of Humanities at Columbia University\, wants to explore the role of the new post-war technology that brought music into film as an indispensable part. How did the radio\, for example\, play to the transmission of music and news\, or to a broadcast of information that brought the formal movement of film into a parallelism of tracks with the high speed and lines of a train\, a plane\, and an automobile? \nThe talk\, in NYUAD’s ‘Distinguished Lecture in Music Studies’ series\, is moderated by Gwyneth Bravo\, Assistant Professor of Music at NYUAD.

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. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Amer Zahr: The Truth
DESCRIPTION:“Sometimes we laugh so hard we cry. And sometimes we cry so hard we laugh …” Amer Zahr’s show is described as “a comedic journey through being Palestinian and Arab in today’s times”. The Palestinian-American comedian (and author\, political activist and  adjunct professor at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law) brings more than 10 years of comedy experience to Dubai. He’s performed often with other Palestinian-American comedians like Said Durrah\, Mona Aburmishan\, and Mike Easmeil (and sometimes produced the shows); he runs a comedy festival in his native Dearborn\, Michigan; he has produced and headlined in three of his own comedy tours; and in 2016 and 2020 he served as a surrogate for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. He’s well worth the price of admission to this Dubai Comedy Festival gig.
