SUMMARY:Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF)
DESCRIPTION:The 43nd edition of SIBF promises to be the fair’s biggest edition ever\, claiming to show more than 1.5 million titles by 2\,500 publishing houses from 112 different countries. There will also be a packed 12-day agenda of more than 1\,350 activities – among them 47 live cookery demonstrations and no fewer than 600 workshops in creative writing for all age groups conducted in Arabic and English. \nAnd there’s the return of the third edition of the Thriller Festival show-within-the-show (7-10 November) organised in partnership with Thriller Festival NY and featuring authors such as Ahmed Mourad\, Amir Atef\, Yehia Safwat\, Saad Abed Al Badr\, Mohammed Al Nasser\, John J Nance\, Isabella Maldonado\, KJ Howe and Tess Gerritsen. There will be panel sessions\, workshops (including a three-dayer led by Ahmed Mourad on writing thrillers) and of course book signings. This segment is building into a successful event in its own right and surely deserves its own identity away from SIBF … \nSIBF runs 6 to 17 November\, open daily 10am to 10pm (Fridays 4pm to 11pm). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Urban Market Festival
DESCRIPTION:Originally launched in Dubai in 2021 to promote sustainable thrift shopping\, this event arrives in Abu Dhabi with a makeover and what looks like a more commercial bent – the 40+ vendors do include thrift and vintage fashion\, but there’s also new streetwear\, accessories\, nail art and hair braiding\, and “homegrown brands” (maybe there isn’t enough upcyclable/recyclable stuff to go round) – and a specific festival vibe. There’s all-day music from top talents like DJ Beth Marie\, Ayesha Reid\, DJ LongLiveAce\, Olwyn Murray\, DJ Crown Prince and more – check the website for the schedule – and a few pop-up food stalls too. Opens 3pm to midnight on 8 and 9 November\, 3-9pm on 10 November.

SUMMARY:Meeting Mozart
DESCRIPTION:This acclaimed interactive experience for the young has been a major success for Sydney Opera House; it’s a 40-minute show aimed at children aged 2 to 10 (and their families) which blends live music\, storytelling\, and song to introduce young audiences to the world of classical music “in a fun\, participatory\, and inclusive environment”; Mozart\, his wife and a string quartet help the audience explore the instruments\, scores\, and themes that characterise his best known compositions. \nThe show has curriculum connections to Performing Arts\, Fine Arts\, Social Studies\, History & Culture and is reportedly great for Emotional Development. A free teacher’s resource pack provides classroom exercises and curriculum links. \nThere are performances on 8 and 9 November.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Armin Najib: -continuum
DESCRIPTION:Najib is a multidisciplinary artist from Iran whose practice includes painting\, drawing\, photography\, sculpture\, and art jewellery but primarily revolves around kinetic mechanisms and magnetic fields. His fascination with magnetism\, ergonomic placement elements\, and environmental sensing has led him to develop his own unique tools and instruments. \nThis exhibition deploys this in a meditation on human existence; it “traces our journey from the fluidity of circles to the rigidity of squares\, symbolising the transformations we undergo throughout life … It reflects the pursuit of perfection and salvation while celebrating the inherent beauty of imperfection …” Should be interesting.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann: The Errantries of Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of recent paintings by the two artists that feature “unexpected protrusions and punctures … that are\, as the philosopher Édouard Glissant describes it\, ‘a poetics of errantry’\, both adventurous wanderings and rebellious misdirections. Referencing forms and motifs from within their past works\, the artists lure us in with the familiar\, only to journey to new discoveries and connections …” \nFor Almehairi\, this process entails a build-up of layers that may be linked but remain—as the series title states—‘off centred’. Buhmann’s latest works he describes as a “detox version\,” cast out into the world with certain elements removed.

SUMMARY:Fictional Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition featuring 28 women artists from the UAE\, Russia\, Iran\, Armenia\, India\, Pakistan\, Ukraine\, Kazakhstan\, Indonesia\, Iceland\, USA and more.

SUMMARY:Gallant Indies | Les Indes galantes: dir Philippe Béziat (2021)
DESCRIPTION:On the stage of the Opéra Bastille in Paris\, 30 dancers from non-traditional genres – hip-hop\, krump\, break\, voguing – reprise and remix Jean-Philippe Rameau’s baroque 1735 masterpiece\, Les Indes galantes. It’s an opera offensive to modern sensibilities that reflected French colonial expansion and represented the myth of the noble savage; this documentary follows the cast over the course of a year as they take the idea from concept to stage\, culminating in a performance run at the Opéra Bastille. The modern mix of urban dance and opera singing represents both a human adventure and a meeting of political realities: so can a new generation of artists storm the Bastille today? Screens in the MOVE ON FILM season.

SUMMARY:Rise | En Corps: dir Cédric Klapisch (2021)
DESCRIPTION:Élise (played by real-life Paris Opera Ballet principal ballerina Marion Barbeau in her first film rôle) thought she had the perfect life: an ideal boyfriend and a promising career as a ballet dancer. It all falls apart the day she catches him cheating on her; and after she suffers an injury on stage\, it seems like she might not be able to dance again. The path to physical and emotional recovery will lead her away from Paris to a picturesque location in Brittany – where her friends\, a new love and the freedom of contemporary dance will help her reconnect with her father and most importantly\, herself. A heartwarming and inspiring story that encapsulates the emotional and transformational power of contemporary dance. Screens in the MOVE ON FILM season.

SUMMARY:Steinway Concert Series: Illia Ovcharenko
DESCRIPTION:The young Ukrainian pianist Illia Ovcharenko is something of a must-see\, especially when he’s playing the Romantic repertoire – and most especially for his treatment of Liszt. Praised as “technically flawless and impeccably musical” (International Piano) and winner of multiple competitions including the lauded 2022 Honens International Piano Competition\, Ovcharenko’s recital will feature two of Liszt’s most celebrated works – the transcription of Beethoven’s Symphony No.7 and his Sonata in B minor (reviewed last year as “astonishing … lushly detailed and violently thrilling\, it left us holding our breath and riveted …”

SUMMARY:Blackadder Goes Forth
DESCRIPTION:The second and final performance by Dubai Drama Group of this  stage adaptation of the fourth (and best-scripted) of the BBC sitcom – a series of schemes by Captain Edmund Blackadder to escape the horrors of World War One\, aided and impeded by his dimwitted yet endearing sidekick Baldrick\, the bumbling but lovable George\, and his nemesis Captain Darling. Should be laughs a-plenty\, right up to the tragic twist in the tale at the end … James Mitchinson directs and plays Flash; Blackadder is Matthew T Corbett\, Baldrick is Sadiq Saboowala.

SUMMARY:Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige: The Vertiginous Story of Orthosia
DESCRIPTION:The Nahr al Bared refugee camp was built in north Lebanon in 1948 for Palestinian families fleeing the Nakba. At the time\, nobody considered the possibility that they might still be there 75 years later. In 2007\, fighting erupted in the camp between the Lebanese army and Islamist groups exposed an archaeological site which turned out to be the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Orthosia\, lost since being hit by a tsunami in 551 CE. This was a major find\, but a proper archaeological investigation would necessitate yet another displacement for the families living there – a process that would be socially\, politically and humanly untenable. \nThrough storytelling\, video\, photography and installation\, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige imagine what may lie under the ground\, questioning the narratives surrounding the story within the context of a cycle of construction and destruction. \nPerformed by Ahmed Abu Arada and Miryana Milad Almaalouly as part of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Perform Sharjah programme\, The Vertiginous Story of Orthosia is presented in Arabic with English subtitles on 9 November; on 10 November it’s in English with Arabic subtitles at the Jameel Arts Centre\, Dubai.
