SUMMARY:Preserving the Past\, Embracing Change\, Honoring Traditions
DESCRIPTION:Managing the tensions between traditions and progress (whatever that means) is a particularly acute issue for the Gulf states\, awash with money and keen to welcome the world but concerned to maintain a culture rooted in the last. Zaki Aslan\, Professor of Practice at the American University of Sharjah\, Advisor (Cultural Heritage)\, and former Founding Director of ICCROM-Sharjah (the local arm of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property)\, will discuss the need for adaptation and continuity within cultural practices and identities in the region; he’ll suggest how societies in this part of the world can devise policies and projects to safeguard traditions — from innovative and integrated preservation approaches to the revitalization of inter-generational knowledge.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s regular 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. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
