Beshar Al Azzawi - Iraqi Music Composer 





Biography

"-Beshar was born in Baghdad in June 1970.



His “be in love with” ART in general and MUSIC in particular, started since his childhood, empowered by his uncle Riyadh Al Khayat (a brilliant painter now living in Sweden). Riyadh use to take Beshar to theater plays, ballet shows and to the Academy of Fine Arts where Riyadh worked as a lecturer. Riyadh’s role and the passion for music Beshar’s father had, influenced Basher’s union with music.



He got his first instrument a violin by the age of four which he had to break it though claiming “he wants to see what’s inside this thing, that makes it function”, something he often did with his toys as well. When he became 16 he was old enough to take care of his first Guitar and 6 months later, he started jamming with his friends in high school.



By 1988 he graduated from High school. For social reasons and to satisfy his family, he joined the University of Baghdad to study Civil Engineering. Five years later, Beshar graduated holding B.Sc. in Civil Engineering, and then he left to Jordan where he started his professional career as a artist, performing as “One Man Show” in restaurants, and pubs.




During the period 1994 - 2001, he established himself in Jordan for his distinctive performances ranging from Spanish Gipsy songs and music, to old traditional Iraqi melodies. While Jordan was his transitory home country, Beshar had the experience of living and working in other places such as Dubai in the UAE. He performed live on the Jordanian Fm Radio station, and was hosted by Jordan TV on more than one occasion.



He also participated in charity concerts and events sponsored by the Royal Family in Jordan on many occasions at venues as the Royal Cultural Center and took part in an International concert sponsored by Queen Rania of Jordan.



In 2001, and after his record deal with MBI Music Box International, Beshar moved to Europe and started a new experience. He involved himself in several events and concerts in Belgium, Italy, and Germany with different musicians from Spain, Brazil, and Belgium.

Al Beshar found the experience very inspiring and enriching. This culminated in his new style of music that he called NuName. For this purpose, he learned and introduced new instruments as the clarinet, saxophone, and percussion to his work."

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not a complicated space

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on several reasons why deadly  theater  happens and why it persists; and while I
