Blurring the Boundaries
"For some, it is pure nostalgia. For others, discovery. For all, it is a reminder that theatre is not just for stages. It belongs to communities, to friends gathered around a table, to voices that dare to rise above the music. Dubai has always been a city of stories. Lucky Voice and MT ROX are simply adding a new chapter - one where the spotlight belongs to anyone who is brave enough to sing!" - excerpt from 'Blurring the Boundaries' (a spotlight on MT ROX) by Lauren Noble

The Kismet-ology of Kendall
"What a fabulous feeling to be able to shake the hand of the ever-elusive Kendall Bas Sison at last! With both of us revelling in the supercharged atmosphere of the site-specific installations, immersive staged show and a lively blend of local and international guests in the audience, I just knew that we needed to book that interview in again as soon as possible. And that is how I came to learn about the timing of the universe and the kismet-ology of Kendall." ~ Lauren Noble

Exciting, funny and unpredictable
"I arrived with time to spare and waited in anticipation in the opulent foyer of the Zabeel Theatre, wondering how it was going to be possible for three actors to perform 37 plays in 97 minutes. Having acted in a few Shakespearean plays myself over the years, I know first-hand how arduous and emotional just one plotline can become. And today the cast of West End Worldwide’s latest offering were going to traverse all of The Bard’s works in just one show?"

Dancing Through Life
"Whether in the studios or on the stages of Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, or the Middle East, Sharmila Kamte seems to have always danced through life to a rhythm only she can hear. There have been moments of kinetic alignment throughout the expansive choreography of her life: sometimes because she has been drawn into the orbit of others, and sometimes because others have been drawn into hers."

From that moment on, Emma knew her purpose in this world was enmeshed in the rush artists feel when they make others feel too.
