A Warm Welcome To The Grand Opening of the Raha Arts Blog

"Ladies and Gentleman, Girls and Boys, welcome to the Grand Opening of the Raha Arts Blog"  May I introduce myself, My name is Javier Hernandez Stalder and I am the Director of Arts for RIS.  My purpose for launching this blog is to keep you all up to date with the exciting  development which is the new school auditorium as well as weekly updates on all School Arts Activities. This blog is intended to keep you bang up to date with progress of the construction, installation of fixtures and fittings and  the program of events, for both the inauguration of the building and for the coming year.

This new building will bring a new exciting space and opportunity for new experiences within arts for the whole school from early years to the graduation ceremony for our Diploma Students. .  This blog is designed to keep your fingers on the pulse of what is to come, such as the internal and external events, workshops, recitals, concerts exhibitions and performances.  The Space will also become a regular host for  UAE cultural events and Al Raha Gardens local community events and groups out of school hours.

               

With this impressive extension to facilities with state of the art equipment we will be able to deliver full music and theatre performances with the students taking an active role in the production side of the event as well as the performing.. It will also allow us to launch a much more extensive range of ECP's to cover such activities as Theatre Make Up, Technical Theatre and Music Production. 

This blog will allow me as the Director of Arts to give you weekly updates and photos to show the advancements of the building process and to announce upcoming events and activities. Also it provides an easy link for people to post questions, queries and suggestions.  Should any of our readers which to contact me please email me at Jstalder@ris.ae

One final point before I sign off until next time.  As this auditorium is located in an educational establishment I thought this blog would be a good opportunity to educate you each week with a little fact from the arts world. So here is quote number one.
