Giving a new direction to theatre and acting enthusiasts in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi performing arts chiefs have introduced an ambitious new strategy to create a thriving theatre industry in the Kingdom.
The Theatre and Performing Arts Authority in Saudi Arabia has come up with a plan to promote Saudi talent, job opportunities, and standards of entertainment in the sector.
Aimed at stimulating the development and growth of the theatre and performing arts, the authorities want to empower Saudi talents to build successful careers and create content that inspires audiences through this programme.
Sultan Al-Bazai, the authority’s chief executive pointed that the authorities will also be working to establish partnerships in this sector to make sure the Saudi theatre industry meets the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Ministry of Culture.
Backed by Minister of Culture Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan Al-Saud, the initiative was launched in the presence of Deputy Minister of Culture Hamed bin Mohammed Fayez, Al-Bazai, and other prominent personalities from the industry.
Talking about the new initiative, Deputy Minister of Culture Hamed bin Mohammed Fayez said, “This strategy has been set, among its objectives, to provide support in different models, care for infrastructure, and societal and geographical access to each city, in addition to a comprehensive development of the sector with all its components, on top of which is the development of talents and capabilities that abound in the Kingdom.”
He added, “We have a lot of work ahead of us until we reach the establishment of a great theatrical industry that perpetuates our culture, documents our stories, expresses our concerns, our arts, and our ambitions. We also have a lot of challenges to overcome in providing empowerment opportunities for all fields that fall within the scope of theatre and performing arts, in order to achieve the goals and outputs that everyone aspires to.”
The initiative aims to cover various performing arts like theatre, dance, circus shows, stand-up comedy, street and motion performances, and opera, along with encompassing venues, content, production, and the prevalence of the culture of performing arts in the Kingdom.
