The Arab Theater Training Center - (http://arabttc.org/)
The ATTC aims at creating a training and learning environment to develop the technical, artistic, and managerial capacities of young people active in the field of performing arts in the Arab world.
The ATTC as a project evolved out of the Arab Arts Project. It was officially founded during the VIth Amman International Theatre Festival in 1999 where several training workshops were organized at the hands of expert professionals.
The idea of the center quickly developed to become a specialized center in the field of research and training in the performing arts.
Its objectives also grew through the needs assessment using various measurement tools. Several workshops in the performing arts were organized in different Arab countries in cooperation with a variety of artistic organizations and groups.
The center organized more than 50 workshops in addition to several joint projects with partner organizations in six Arab countries, namely: Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Bahrain, Tunisia, and Morocco.
Trainers came from different parts of the world: the USA, Sweden, The UK, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Tunisia, Egypt, and France.
Young artists coming from different Arab countries including: Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Morocco, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Tunisia, benefited from these workshops.
The ATTC established links with organizations who have contributed to the achievement of the center's objectives. Some of them are: SIDA, ALISSAR, AAFA, Jesuit cultural center, the Lebanese American University, Al Madina Theatre, Darat al Funoun, The Swiss development agency, the Japan Foundation, amongst others.
