This summer, Marina will be speaking in venues across the UK about the current situation in Palestine and the role of theatre in helping children, young people and the community overcome trauma. She hopes this event at Civic House will provide an opportunity for Glasgow audiences to hear firsthand from a Palestinian activist in the cultural sector and for the establishment of new partnerships and collaborations. Marina’s tour of the UK coincides with the foundation of Shining Stars: Friends of Al Harah Theater/Bethlehem CIC which will support Al Harah to create and tour theatre productions, education workshops, and to foster exchanges, benefiting artists, audiences, and communities in Palestine and the UK.

The Glasgow event is run by volunteers. We are fundraising to cover the costs of Marina’s tour to the UK. Any additional funding will go directly to Al Hara’s work in Palestine. Suggested donation £10 (waged). All donations gratefully received. https://gofund.me/74bfa1d1

It creates compelling work for children, young people and adults that is challenging, yet moving, accessible and always honest. It tours locally, regionally and internationally, reaching refugee camps, villages, cities and especially marginalized areas. Al-Harah Performing Arts Training Center (PARC) runs artistic exchanges and training programmes for children and young people, as well as ‘train the trainer’ programmes in drama and theatre, and technical workshops for the performing arts.
