- Arts
Performing Arts in a wide sense is the focal field of I-act, therefore its main objective is to highlight and emphasize the social and educational aspect of Performing Arts as a chief instrument in development as well as in the confrontation of labels and stereotypes. I-act is employing Arts as an instrument of change and freedom of expression.
Since its establishment, I-act supports the theatre performances of the Alternative Theatre Group (ATG) and it organizes special events (workshops) for young adults and children in Alexandria as well as other Egyptian cities. Among the major projects of I-act is the Creative Forum for Independent Theatre Groups (Europe-Mediterranean), which is an annual international event that adopts an Anti-festival concept. It takes place in Alexandria in cooperation with the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, encompassing diverse theatre performances, publication and dialogue programs in addition to training and capacity building workshops for youth and Artists. The Creative Forum is recognized and appreciated as a rich cultural event that contributes towards the enrichment of artistic forms, the development of human ties between culturally different artists. In 2011, the 8th edition of the Creative Forum will take place from 10-15 December 2011. Now I-act is supporting the establishment of a new cultural space in Downtown Alexandria, called Teatro Alexandria. The space is a liberal cultural complex offering wide-ranging activities to the Alexandrian society. Teatro addresses middle class people from different sectors of the society with a special focus on youth of both sexes, where they interact & engage in dialogue & artistic activities.
