"It has taken me half a year of purposefully quieting the noise so that I could sit in silence and unpack what I came to realise was the subtlety with which Sisyphean structures were embedding themselves into the landscape of theatre and arts education in the UAE.

"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.

"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 for #collabinconvo
