The World We Share

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

Award-winning Palestinian dance artist Farah Saleh and collaborators present the world-premiere of multigenerational performance, The World We Share.

About The World We Share

This Autumn, award-winning Palestinian dance artist and choreographer Farah Saleh and collaborators present the world premiere of new work The World We Share, bringing together a multi-generational ensemble of performers to ask -
‘How do we solve individual and collective problems together? Can we do it together, even though we are all so different?’

Through a series of playful, and sometimes, poignant propositions the ensemble propose ways we might better act in solidarity with one another, share our resources and attend to seemingly unsolvable problems through collaborative effort, collective encounter and shared experiences.

Bringing together four young people and three adults from different walks of life, the work combines a compelling mix of dance, performance and circus that culminates in a 45 minute promenade performance, that re-imagines, re-builds and reflects upon the world we share - a pertinent call to action within the current economical, environmental, social and political landscape.

The World We Share opens at Assembly Roxy in Edinburgh on Friday 18 October with performances at 11.00 and 14.00, before transferring to James Arnott Theatre in Glasgow on Sunday 20 October with performances at 12.00 and 15.00.

The performance sees Farah Saleh as Choreographer and Director, with performers Diane Mitchell, Jack Anderson, Jazmina, Kieran, Nala, Phoebe and Surya. It hosts a multi-generational ensemble, for a multi-generational audience.

The production is presented in collaboration with Helen McIntosh (Creative Producer), Luke Pell (Research Associate), Mamoru Iriguchi (Set Designer), Emma Jones (Lighting Designer), Garry Boyle (Sound Designer), Alison Brown (Costume Designer), Fi Fraser (Production Manager), Ellie Condom (Stage Manager) and Joy Parkinson (PR).

The World We Share has been created in partnership with Lyra and supported by Creative Scotland’s Open Fund for Individuals, Dance Base and Imaginate.

Talking about The World We Share, Farah Saleh said: “As a Palestinian born in a refugee camp in Syria, and a mother of 2 young children who were born and raised in Scotland, it feels a fitting time to research and explore ways of addressing complex topics with young people who are both performers and audience members.

I believe that the younger generation can and will bring more understanding and justice to the world. I hope that The World We Share will contribute to this process, as we try to find solutions for individual and collective issues as a group.

The intention is to invite the audience to imagine a more hopeful world, and that the invitation will extend beyond the performance space.”
