General Information
The idea behind I-ACT was a direct result of the Creative Forum for Independent Theatre Groups (Europe- Mediterranean) that took place in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina between 28 December 2003 and 3 January 2004. The Forum, moreover, had two direct impacts on I-ACT: first, new networks and contacts have been achieved with individuals, organizations and festivals in Italy, Slovenia, Sweden, Austria, Germany and Oman; secondly, the same team that worked in the Forum will be the founders of I-ACT. Consequently, the team working on this project represents various generations and they are: Mahmoud Aboudoma (director/playwright /theatre programmer), Awatef Ibrahim (actress/ trainer/ lecturer), Nada Ramadan (pianist/ I-ACT coordinator),Khaled Rafaat(actor/administrator), AbirAly (logistics)Margo Gorgui(forum coordinator) Amira El-Masry(forum coordinator)
