The theatrical and performing arts have been forerunners in terms of building audiences and public interest in cultural programming within the UAE and the greater Arab world. This panel will focus on the current state of developments in the performing arts community, with an emphasis on the local and regional. Additionally, this panel will holistically assess the concrete possibilities of encouraging and executing the creation of new works through residencies and commissions.
