WOMAD @ Abu Dhabi City

Aren’t we fed up yet of singing and dancing like terribly smashed people!! I assure you that if you pick any name randomly from your astonished brain, just any any name, Najwa, Roba, Nora, Sumaya, Sibsibtoora, … , I assure you that there will be an existence of a person of that name whose profession is an “artist” .. Most probably singer. And just big wow, for the high quality and classy art that they present! (Sophisticated)

Mainly, this is not what’s I’m intending to discuss, because it became so boring talking about this issue.

Instead of cleaning up the long long lists that we have, we are just bringing something from abroad to add on top of all what we have..What I’m referring here to, is the “WOMAD” thing!! What WOMAD is?! Oh. Well. As mentioned in this link, WOMAD stands for “World of Music, Arts and Dance”. And it’s an international festival as I understand. Multicultural.
Great.
Maybe Abu Dhabi meant to bring cultures to the residents of the city, those who aren’t able to travel and see new cultures. So simply, Abu Dhabi, the miracle city, brings you everything just as that.

When I first heard of the "WOMAD" and that it’s going to be held in Abu Dhabi, I really felt delighted. But now I’m not anymore, when I noticed this (mentioned in the main website):
“WOMAD Beyond will encourage children to approach the unknown in an open and enquiring way, to explore the richness and diversity of the arts of global cultures, including their own. This educational outreach programme for schools will bring musicians and visual artists from Zimbabwe, South Korea, India, Algeria and the UK into schools in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Workshops will include, percussion, dance, voice, musical collaborations, and arts and crafts of the Indian subcontinent and carnival arts from UK. Confirmed artists to be announced.”

Again: “WOMAD Beyond will encourage children to approach the … This educational outreach programme for schools will bring …”.

It could be a perspective at the end of the day, but to me Art & Dance might be of the educational scheme at the universities. But do you really think it would be educational to children?! I think basic sciences and subjects to be taught to our children and schools’ students are very well known and approved by any ministry of education in the world, and it’s obviously doesn’t include Art & Dance in the scheme. Not to leave a gap here; Yes. In UAE, we might be including Music and Sports classes to students’ schedules but that’s only for the sake of refreshing the students and nothing more; i.e. It’s not basic.
Some might not agree with me making it a big deal about that, but I must say when it’s reaching our children, then it IS a big deal.

May God protect us from envies! We are being civilized but God only knows where we will end up with this lame civilization.

Eventually, there is something I wanted to share with you:
Western Schools, more specifically, USA schools, have their students an entertainment by boasting trips to NASA (I’m not sure of this, but I think they go there to learn Arts & Dance). They also invite employees and astronauts from NASA to visit their schools. Students Can Submit Questions for STS-119 Astronauts.. (Do you know What’s STS-119? If not, Google it and come to know it not to let USA students be more enlightened than you!)
Have you ever visited NASA KIDS’ CLUB… If not, you can do so right now by clicking HERE

Outside the discussed topic. NASA Mentiones about the Palm Tree Island (Man-made Island) built by Dubai (UAE) Govrnment. But never mentiones that it's been built in the "Arabian Gulf". Instead they say: built in the "Persian Gulf". This is in the NASA KIDS website. here.
Now I have doubts that USA is against/fighting Iran, at all.


And God Bless
