BIO

A Syrian Belgian filmmaker and choreographer with a Bachelor's degree in Ballet and Modern dance from The Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts Damascus, Syria in 2005, an Advanced Master's degree in Audiovisual Arts (Transmedia, Multimedia Arts, Art and Technology) from Luca school of arts Brussels, Belgium in 2013, and a Master's degree in Audiovisual Arts (Film) from The Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) Gent in 2021. He is a multidisciplinary artist with extensive experience in choreography and filmmaking. Almokdad has created several fiction and documentary films addressing the issues of war and revolution in Syria, as well as films that explore the political and humanitarian aspects of immigration. As a filmmaker, he focuses on the narrative and magical elements of reality to talk about contemporary human issues. In choreography, Almokdad has created performances on the image of the victim in wars to understand the depth of human suffering and how to present it to the public on stage. He aims to discover and develop his understanding of the Natural Body, the politicised postmodern body, and is interested in ritual theatre and types of choreography that are open to diversity and interact with New Media. As a teacher in choreography and filmmaking, Almokdad employs experimentation and practice as the basic method to enhance learners' skills and abilities to self-learn in the arts.
