As an architect and musician from Beirut, I have seen art, composition, politics and urban chaos in coexistence revealing an underlying structure uniting them all.
I studied architecture in ALBA-Beirut, graduating top of my class in 2013, earning 3 awards.
I also played the Piano at the Music Conservatoire of Beirut, and graduated with honours in 2012.
While working in architecture, I have performed in musical theatre and opera. It is where my passion for performing arts grew beyond architecture and performance, and decided to combine both into one.
In 2015, I started the MA Design for Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama where I Set designed:
Cabaret, directed by Paul Kerryson
From there many connections were built, having since worked on several productions as a Set and Costume designer, such as:
Last Days and Time by David John Norton, Give it a name company, Cardiff
Dr Angelus, Finborough Theatre, London
Macbeth, as an UK touring performance by Paul Davies, Volcano Theatre Company, Swansea
Finally, I have been shortlisted for the Old Vic 12 and a selected finalist at the WSD 2017 for the category of emerging designers.
I am currently the Design Studio assistant at the National Theatre, London, since March 2017.
