What we are testing
Facilitating Collaboration
Creating new partnerships between independent artists, civil society organizations, the private sector, and international cultural institutions to foster stronger networks.
Knowledge Sharing
Developing visual and audio educational materials to provide training, mentorship, and access to industry insights for emerging and established artists.
Performing Arts Platform
A digital space where artists can create profiles, access funding and learning opportunities, and connect with peers across Egypt and the Arab world.
As we carry out this experiment, we are asking key learning questions:
- What experiences does the community of performers in the Arab world need?
- What are the learning opportunities for the Arab world?
- Who are the players in the field of performing arts in the Arab world?
Meet the team
Wasla is a registered Egyptian company that works to develop the Arab performing arts scene in the Arab world, by supporting artistic ideas, providing special services to performing artists and their creative production. Wasla works to support performers through facilitating accessibility to artists opportunities “writing projects and translation, distribution of performances, siminars, artists meeting, platforms”. We also work on creating networking between different groups of artists in artistic projects to create different creative products. In addition, we organize artistic activities, which through the network of relationships open new opportunities for the artists in the Arab region in terms of production, performing venues and other benefits.
