MeeM
The MeeM project aims to build a contemporary dance network throughout the Arab region that will be addressing urgent artistic, social and cultural needs and concerns as well as emphasizing the spread of information, meetings, and exchanges among the dance artists and organizations. Such a network is needed, culturally and artistically, for a long-term and sustainable development.
A capacity building and dance networking project
The MeeM Project brought together five dance organizations from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Algeria and Tunisia to work together and develop a capacity building and networking project. Each partner proposed two young choreographers/artists to be part of the project. The 10 young artists benefited from a one-year program of artistic exchanges and collaboration with the partners as well as activities including theoretical and practical discussions related to the artistic processes and the politics of performance making.
The Meem Dance Congress in 20217 was the final station of the Meem Project and the beginning of a wider development for the vision of the project. It took place for three days, at the end of Maqamat’s intensive dance training program TAKWEEN.
