Sharjah 24: Kuwaiti artist Dr Khaled Amin shared that the acting workshop he is leading falls under the Elements of Theatrical Performance course, part of the pre-event activities for the Kalba Short Plays Festival. The festival is set to be organised by the Department of Culture next September.

Specialised training for theatre professionals
Dr Amin explained that the course, organised by the Theatre Department of the Department of Culture, brings together specialists in key areas of theater: directing, scenography, acting, and writing. He emphasised that such workshops contribute to the growth of individuals working across the broader arts sector, including theater, television, and cinema.

Empowering young talent
In statements to Sharjah 24, Amin noted that the acting workshop plays a vital role in developing the skills of young theater professionals from diverse backgrounds. It also serves to train directors in effectively working with actors to bring out their best performances.

Looking ahead to festival participation
Expressing his delight at being selected to train this promising group, Amin hinted at the potential for this project to evolve beyond the workshop. He suggested it could lead to participation in various festivals—most notably, the Kalba Short Play Festival.
