JASAD (Space for Training and Creative practices)

 In 2011, Leish Troupe decided to stop working. To do that for almost five years was indeed a difficult choice but it wasn’t going to be as difficult as performing in the midst of violence.

In 2015 we came back to work  because we believe that we can take a step closer to what we need to do as a society when the war is over. 

Whether the military battle is meant to end, continue, or be replaced by a peaceful political settlement, the Syrians will always be together, and no party will ever be able to erase the others. To work on coexistence and sharing is inevitable, as we simply have no other choice.

Today, we are taking a step further towards our society and establishing " JASAD" - an independent space for the both local community and professional artists. Jasad’s programs will work on raising awareness and developing a deep understanding of emotional intelligence and mental resilience, whilst providing a vital space to actively engage and dialogue with a diverse range of professional artists in the field of theatre and dance.

We urgently ask our friends to help us raise $25,000 to secure the building we found in Damascus for Jasad. We can’t do it without your help.

 Yes, the audience of theatre and live performances in Syria is increasing not only because people need a cleansing relief from the non-stop daily stress they live under but also because they now, more than ever, need to experience social and human intimacy, and to have a sense of affiliation.”
