HISTORY
Beit el-Raqs is a development of a similar project that Maqamat developed in Beirut in 2011. Maqamat DanceHouse was a project created by Maqamat in order to co-produce and present the work of local and international artists. The 'House' aims at encouraging residencies and creations in the city as well as creating a strong condition for the continuous development and progress of contemporary dance.
The performances listed in this section are by local artists that Maqamat supported an do-produced or by international artists that Maqamat invited to present their work in Lebanon or teach at Takween (http://www.maqamat.org/workshops/13-about-takween).
