Ballerina Georgette Gebara honored again
10-5-2018
Under the patronage of culture minister, Ghattas Khoury, the Lebanese American University, LAU, paid tribute yesterday to Lebanese ballerina, academic and choreographer Georgette Gebara, during a ceremony in Irwin Hall. This comes less than three weeks after Gebara’s honoring by the Maqamat Dance Theatre. During the event, the chairperson of the Department of Communication Arts at LAU, Dr. Jad Melki, presented the Festival NEXT 2018 (from May 9-11) to Gebara. Minister Khoury revealed a plan set by his ministry to develop the art of dancing in Lebanon. For his part, LAU president, Dr. Joseph Jabra, said Gebara’s honoring is not a surprise, as the university is an educational cultural venue involved with promoting brilliance and creativity in society. After her receiving a painting designed especially for the occasion, Gebara thanked all those who contributed to the event, recounting the successes as well as the challenges throughout her career life.
