Event overview
Chirine El Ansary: Journey to No Returns
The Performance Research Forum is a meeting ground between contemporary practitioners, researchers, students and staff in the college as well as the general public via a programme of cutting edge talks, events and performances.
Chirine El Ansary has completed a BA in theatre at the American University in Cairo, has studied at Jacques Lecoq International School in Paris and has an MA in Performance Making from Goldsmiths, University of London. Since 1996 she is entirely dedicated to the art of story-performing with a very physical approach and a very deep interest in how words and movements can combine to create moods, atmospheres and images.
She has also lead workshops in performance and storytelling in various communities, for an extremely diversified public; from teenagers and young adults in the Egyptian Oasis, to public school teachers in Alexandria to professional actors in Syria or the UK.
Chirine was one of the first performers to perform in ancient buildings in the heart of the old city of Cairo as well as in the markets and old palaces of Cairo, Damascus and Aleppo.
She has performed her repertoire of stories from the One Thousand and One Nights internationally in very different cities such as: Sana’a, Nairobi, Zanzibar, Johannesburg, Rome, Naples, Rotterdam, Paris and London at the Barbican 2004/2005.
Chirine is fluent in Arabic, French and English with a working knowledge of Spanish.
