Brova No.1

Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmed Cultural Centre launches a new summer programme during July and August titled “Brova No.1”, referring to a performer’s first artistic experience. The programme aims to discover and develop emerging theatre talents by attracting and training participants in a professional environment across acting, backstage management, and theatrical production. It also offers participants the opportunity to take part in a national theatrical performance alongside a distinguished group of Kuwaiti actors.

The programme consists of two tracks. The first begins in early July and is designed for aspiring actors and actresses aged 16 to 40. Running for 12 consecutive weeks, with sessions held three days a week, this track includes actor preparation, expressive movement, improvisation, ensemble work, and other core elements of theatrical performance under the supervision of renowned director Abdullah Abdulrasoul.

The second track begins in early August and is intended for young men and women aged 18 to 40 interested in theatre production, backstage operations, and event coordination. The course lasts for 8 consecutive weeks with sessions held three days a week. This track provides participants with professional experience in backstage management as an essential component of stage production. The training covers backstage supervision and coordination, including managing actors’ entrances and exits, preparing stage scenes, coordinating with lighting and sound teams, overseeing costumes and props, and other production and organisational aspects that support live theatre performances. This track is supervised by theatre expert Faisal Al-Obaid, in collaboration with human development expert Waleed Al-Ansari. Participants will also receive sessions on public relations, handling different situations, communication skills, and coordination during events and theatrical productions.

Each track is divided into several stages, including skill-based training, rehearsals for the national stage production, and finally participation whether through performance or backstage organisation alongside some of Kuwait’s leading theatre stars. Participants will receive a certificate upon completion of the programme.
