SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Wissam Shawkat: Calligraformism
DESCRIPTION:The Iraqi artist and calligrapher introduces the latest examples of his signature style\, merging the beauty of classical Arabic scripts with modern design principles; Calligraforms transforms Thuluth script lettering into abstract\, fluid forms that are removed their textual meaning and presented as stand-alone visual elements. As he puts it\, “Each letter has a life and energy of its own. By magnifying their details and removing the constraints of the text\, I aim to reveal their hidden beauty.” \n“By blending the rich heritage of Arabic calligraphy with influences from modern European abstract movements like Cubism\, and Bauhaus\, Wissam creates a dialogue between the East and West\,” says the gallery. “Calligraformism is more than an art style; it is a philosophy\, an artistic movement\, that reflects Wissam’s desire to break the boundaries of classical calligraphy …”

SUMMARY:Men’s Jewelry\, Signs & Insignia
DESCRIPTION:Jewellery is usually treated as a style of female adornment\, but these days especially it’s also an important signifier for men – at once a social and cultural marker\, an instrument of power assertion\, a communication tool\, and yes a fashion accessory too. This conversation with art historians Dr David Usieto Cabrera and May El Hage\, both lecturers at L’ÉCOLE Middle East School of Jewelry Arts\, discusses the symbolic and ornamental functions of men’s jewellery. The talk is preceded by a welcome reception. \n

SUMMARY:Encore Presents: Benjamin Grosvenor
DESCRIPTION:Something of a coup for the Encore Presents series of recitals\, curated by Amira Fouad and presented with the Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai: the stunning British piano virtuoso Benjamin Grosvenor has been accumulating accolades – from reviewers (“everything Grosvenor touches turns to gold”\, “a genius who has reached the height of his interpretive powers”) and in terms of awards: among others\, Grosvenor has been named Gramophone’s Young Artist of the Year\, won a Classical Brit Critics’ Award\, and has a Diapason d’Or Jeune Talent Award. He is internationally recognised for his electrifying performances\, his technical gifts\, a distinctive sound and what Süddeutsche Zeitung called “the unmistakable sense of poetic immersion directed solely at the realisation of music”. (He is also an Ambassador of Music Masters\, a charity dedicated to making music education accessible to all children regardless of their background\, championing diversity and inclusion.) Highly recommended\, even at this price … \nHis programme: \nBrahms\, Intermezzi op.117\nRavel\, Gaspard de la nuit\nMussorgsky\, Pictures at an Exhibition

SUMMARY:Theatresports: Santas vs Elves 2
DESCRIPTION:A second evening of festive competitive improv. In Theatresports\, teams of improvisors are selected to compete against each other for points awarded by a panel of judges. The teams issue challenges to each other on the seasonal theme\, and the judges are looking for how well the improvisors react (usually in terms of narrative\, technique\, and entertainment – judges can hand out warnings or penalties for being boring). One team will get to win the coveted Theatresports trophy … \nIt’s great fun\, and it’s free. You need to put your name down on the webpage’s guestlist\, though\, and turn up early because the RSVP doesn’t guarantee you a seat.

SUMMARY:Singin’ in the Rain
DESCRIPTION:The highly successful stage adaptation of the iconic MGM film about silent film actors who face their share of struggles over the gradual transition to talkies. The plot isn’t what matters\, of course; it’s the songs – classics like Good Morning\, Make ’em Laugh\, Moses Supposes\, and of course Singin’ in the Rain – and the dancing (the choreography by Andrew Wright is just great). There will also be live rain showers on stage every night … The result is a celebration of Hollywood’s golden era with romance\, humour and wall-to-wall entertainment. \nThere are further shows to 14 December: \n\n\n12 Dec 8pm\n13 Dec 8pm\n14 Dec 2pm\n14 Dec 8pm
