Who We Are
We are an ensemble committed to creating and fostering a strong relationship between theatre and the Palestinian community. |
As a group of young Palestinian actors who graduated from The Drama Academy, Ramallah, we are proud of managing to take our first step in this profession by completing those three years of intensive training. Despite being faced with a lack of opportunities, we studied a German curriculum of one of the most important acting methods in the world.
Considering the fact that the Palestinian Authority does not have the ability to support a growing theatre movement, it is increasingly difficult to build momentum in our field of work. The role of supporting theatre in our community has been left to non governmental organisations or bodies, and we find this to be consistently problematic. The support for artistic projects which comes from these non governmental bodies is usually a conditioned support; therefore supporting the organisation's own vision and agenda, rather than that of the community. We believe that this has resulted in a large divide between the theatre and the audiences they try to address.
