Al-Rowwad Center is an Independent Center for artistic, cultural, and theatre
training for children in Aida Camp trying to provide a "safe" and
healthy environment to help children creativity and discharge of stress in the
war conditions they are forced to live in. The center fosters essential values
such as justice, peace and freedom, respect for others, open-mindedness, and a
sense of belonging. Their work builds on the idea that opposition to oppression
must be creative non-violence, a “beautiful resistance,” as Dr. Abdelfattah
Abusrour, the creator of the Theatre and <a
href="http://www.ashoka.org/node/3922">Ashoka fellow</a> , calls it. Abed hones
the skills of his pupils and gives them a healthy and creative way of
confronting the trauma of living in a refugee camp that is surrounded on three
sides by Israel’s “Separation Wall”. <br>
<br>
Exciting opportunities for the troupe if we can raise the required funds: A
week of classes with local youth at the Underground Railroad Theater in
Cambridge. Public performances by Al-Rowwad at the PCCP and URT. Traveling to
the Bread and Puppet Theatre in Vermont to work with this internationally
renowned company over a weekend. Public performances in Connecticut, NYC and
possibly Cape Cod and Maine. <br clear=all>
