Workshops I OFFER
My aim is always to give participants creative freedom and empower them to express their ideas and narrating them by providing them with creative tools across a wide array of multi-disciplinary approaches.
Part of my practice as a performance artist is engaging and developing different trainings and workshops using multi-disciplinary forms in creating new work; working with material, installation, sounds, videos, scripts and situations.
I have developed multiple workshops; most recent ones was with British council "Performance and Public Spaces" and "Performance and Multidisciplinary approaches" and another workshop which I am developing with school and communities "Home and Identity".
I have also a strong record of leading theatre training programs and community projects for young generation with different organizations. Recent project was with A.M. Qattan Foundation; a cultural, arts and social engagement project in Aljaroshiya/Tulkarem.
I have as well developed "Love & Relationships: Thinking Differently" workshops which explores the themes of my current performance - Another Lover’s Discourse. Opening up a discussion with participants and engaging them with questions I had around the subject and specific methods used in my creative process.
I will be glad if you reach out to me to collaborate in that context. I also like designing and collaborating with you to come up with the best program that fits both our approaches.

Bedna Makan بدنا مكان
In 2021 Riham was invited by A.M. Qattan Foundation to work on a culture, art education and social engagement project This community project took place in Al-Jaroshiya, a small village in Tulkarem - Palestine.
Riham worked with a wonderful group of 12 energetic and inspiring young women over a six month period to encourage them to search within themselves, their homes and their community for different stories. Her goal was to give them the tools, space and confidence to research and narrate their individual experiences and heritage and to guide them creatively using performance, creative writing, film and theatre as a vehicle.
Riham was pleased that the work they did together inspired the young women to ask their community council for a permanent place they could use to develop artistic projects within their community and the best news that they have approved it and now they do have a space for that reason!
Now she is working to develop more work in schools and communities around themes of home and identity and she aspires of what future project she can develop with different communities around that theme.
