Maqamat Theatre Dance aims at establishing a platform for innovation, experimentation, and continuous development of contemporary dance culture, in Lebanon and the Region. Through introducing new ideas and concepts of dance and ''the body'', the company anticipates a new phase of artistic and social productivity, creativity, modernization, and free expression.
The artistic and cultural activities organised by Maqamat are divided into three categories. Firstly, artistic and creative dance performances, events and collaborative projects. Secondly, Project Zero, a development work project targeting young dancers/choreographers and supporting these artists through funding and organising artistic dance residences, workshops, lectures, and meeting. Thirdly, organising an annual contemporary dance festival, BIPOD (Beirut International Platform of Dance).
