From touring internationally to creating BIPOD, the first international dance festival in Lebanon,  a unique cultural venue/space in the heart of Beirut, Maqamat is always pushing boundaries and reshaping the perception of the performing arts scene in Lebanon. 

Over the years, and since its creation in 2002, Maqamat has become a trust-worthy reference for local and international artists and audiences. Promoting Beirut as a centre of contemporary dance in the Arab world, Maqamat has created an inclusive experience which brings together a plethora of voices from all over the globe and from all walks of life. The many projects organized by Maqamat,  the ability to invite well-known international companies performing for the first time in the region while producing, presenting and encouraging works by local artists, have been continuously uniting cities while always creating a long awaited and positive atmosphere of creativity, innovation and progress.
