Laaroussa

March - April 2012

B`chira Art Center - Tunisia

 

The Tunisian Association L`Art Rue organized `Laaroussa` in 2012, where it invited a group of artists to work with women potters from Sejnane--a region in North East Tunisia. They co-produced artwork that was exhibited in B-chira Art Center. The project, as L`Art Rue PR Manager Beatrice Dunoyer explains in this video, aimed to shed light on the pottery work for which Sejnane has been famous for thousands of years and highlight its relation to local art in general. Tunisian artist Yacine Blaich also speaks of his contribution to the project with the `Sejnane voice journal,` where he printed a newspaper reflecting the lives and hopes of men in the region.

A Scenography Workshop by Hussein Baydoun

A Scenography workshop by Hussein Baydoun

8-16 September 2013

Falaki Theater, Cairo, Egypt

 

Hussein Baydoun is a Lebanese artist, architect, and scenographer who is known for his unique approach to set design. Baydoun frequently participates in the creation and development of performances from their early stages with the view that scenography is an essential component to the creation of theatrical work, one no less important than the script. His designs are often inspired by the performance spaces in which he works, where he creates fascinating sets from whatever is available as he challenges conventional notions about theater production, such as in his most recent performance "Alice," which was produced in collaboration with Lebanese playwright and director Sawsan Bou Khaled. In September, Baydoun returned to Cairo to lead a scenography workshop following the same vision. At the American University in Cairo`s Falaki Theater, he worked with six upcoming set designers, in addition to amateurs, on creating imaginative environments from the remnants of old sets and other discarded objects. This video highlights the vision and development of the workshop as Baydoun describes the aim of his teaching methods.
