Maqamat Dance Theatre
Country: Lebanon
A Lebanese contemporary dance company founded in Beirut.
Maqamat is a Lebanese contemporary dance company which was founded in 2002 in Beirut. The company has been able in a very short period of time to emerge as a functional organization in the creation and development of contemporary dance in Lebanon. It has presented works that were favourably received by both critics and public and was considered by Nazih Khater, the well- known critic from Annahar Newspaper as:
the founder of a Lebanese dance theatre scene. -annahar 12 January 2002
Contemporary dance creations, such as Beyrouth Jaune (2002), Guerre Au Balcon (2003), which won the prize of “best technique in Performance� at the “Rencontre theatrale de Carthage�, Mental Masturbation (2004), and Shutter Speed (2003) were presented by Maqamat in Beirut and other Arab and European cities like Cairo, Alexandria, Tunisia, Cahors, Barcelona, Hamburg and Berlin.
The company and in response to a non-existent contemporary dance scene in Beirut, has found itself playing a double role of creator and organizer. Besides the creative work, the company has founded and organized an international dance platform: Beirut International Dance Festival, created an annual training project (Project Zero) for emerging choreographers and performers, and organized many workshops. The company’s objective is to create and establish a contemporary dance scene in Lebanon and the region, and to encourage artists from different disciplines to experiment and interact with each other for the purpose of creating new and challenging productions.
Our aim is to motivate young artists and create new perceptions of dance. We firmly believe that the work we create and the events that we organize have a strong impact on the development of dance culturally, socially and artistically in Beirut. Maqamat is a project that addresses itself as more than just a company but as a new space for performers, directors, musicians, and choreographers to interact and create.
