Bipod honors Lebanese ballerina Georgette Gebara
18-4-2018
Within the Beirut International Platform of Dance, Bipod, the Maqamat Dance Theatre honored yesterday the Lebanese ballerina, academic and choreographer Georgette Gebara for her contribution to founding and development of the classical ballet dance in Lebanon. Gebara received to this end the Lifetime Achievement Award for the year 2018 during a ceremony held at Sursok Museum. After thanking the festival organizers, Gebara pointed out that usually, in the world of art, there is a big deal of egotism especially in the absence of recognition and credit. For her part, Bipod director, Mia Habis, said Gebara has aimed at the societal mindset, shaking and questioning the authority of preconceived inherited thoughts, and proving that one can really become a professional dancer in this country and employ dancing not only as a career, but as a swift and effective tool for change. Screenings followed which illuminated Gebara’s experience. (Al Hayat, April 18, 2018)
