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 can 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. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
