Naghm Na\u2018asa is a hidden cultural gem in the Syrian arts scene\u2014she has spent her life training actors to perform before the camera. In Syria she founded Stage Art, which has grown into a major company that prepares everyone from actors to broadcasters to CEOs to stand confidently in front of a camera.<\/p>

A decade of war, death, displacement, and bombing in Syria never stopped Naghm from working in the arts. She and her troupe have taken to the streets\u2014playing music, singing, and performing on sidewalks\u2014restoring hope to the despairing and security to the fearful through their creative work. I met with her and asked:<\/p>

Q:<\/strong> You specialize in training actors\u2014doesn\u2019t that somehow confine or constrain the art of acting? Isn\u2019t anyone able to act? How did the idea for Stage Art begin, and why did you launch this project?<\/p>

A:<\/strong> Acting isn\u2019t anyone\u2019s exclusive domain, but the person who trains others in performance (the \u201cacting coach\u201d) creates the fundamental problem we face today. Teaching acting isn\u2019t like teaching mathematics: it involves imagination, concentration, and inventing a character from scratch.<\/p>

From its inception eight years ago, Stage Art\u2019s mission was to bring together the most distinguished actors and trainers so that we could be a single casting company\u2014one that any production company could work with throughout the year\u2014while ensuring that the essence of every performance is genuine (and extensively crafted).<\/p>

Today, however, we see acting schools run by people with no real connection to the profession!<\/p>

Q:<\/strong> That proliferation of unqualified trainers\u2014what effect does it have?<\/p>

A:<\/strong> The sheer number of \u201ctrainers\u201d with no real acting background makes you curse art and regret all the effort poured into creating something true in a sea of deceit. Some trainers think only of themselves, not of the field as a whole, and the result is inevitably disappointing: actors whose origins and motivations are unclear.<\/p>

Q:<\/strong> Stage Art has achieved many milestones\u2014what do you consider your greatest?<\/p>

A:<\/strong> By God\u2019s grace, we\u2019ve reached major international festivals by training people who knew nothing of acting. Ultimately, everyone has the right to become an actor, because the craft is about discovering oneself and truth. But it demands tremendous work from coach, actor, and production company\u2014months of preparation before filming and relentless effort during it. What we see today is not only fake but frightening for the future! All the so-called \u201cyoung stars\u201d sound the same, react the same, and deliver the same performance across ten different series. Who trains them? Who works with them? Who gives them these shallow opportunities?<\/p>

Q:<\/strong> What\u2019s your view of Syrian drama today? You\u2019ve described it as the phoenix rising again\u2014do you still see it that way?<\/p>

A:<\/strong> I\u2019ve said before that drama dies with the death of its true writers and directors. We no longer see works that carry deep intellectual values beyond being a 30-episode series that ends as if nothing happened. We need drama that preserves our memory, present, and future; that educates us on every level\u2014this is art\u2019s role: to live on, to shift societal concepts, and to foster a culture built on diligent research and effort.<\/p>

There have been some respectable productions this year with significant, promising investment from certain production companies. But will it last? Will other companies be influenced by this genuine approach and uphold it? In the end, every successful work is rooted in careful study of text and concept\u2014works that provoke questions in the viewer and even among the performers themselves. I truly hope these efforts intensify. We must respect the audience\u2019s intelligence and the inspiring young talents, who prove daily they can convey real life on screen. Opportunities must be open to all\u2014writers, actors, and directors alike\u2014and the same few names shouldn\u2019t appear in every project. We often hear, \u201cWhat a wonderful performance\u2014where have they been hiding?\u201d The real question is: Where did you hide them, and why? If we don\u2019t break free from selfishness and individualism\u2014\u201cjust turning the screws\u201d\u2014we\u2019ll never succeed. Collective work is the path to success, and though it demands great patience over a long journey, patience has always been our companion.<\/p>

Q:<\/strong> Why have you remained relatively \u201chidden\u201d from artistic work? I call you Syria\u2019s hidden cultural document. Why does anyone not on television seem less active in the arts?<\/p>

A:<\/strong> Many young people sit at home, waiting for a single chance, believing they\u2019re among the first in acting. I never waited for opportunity\u2014I created it through my own sweat and toil over years. This profession requires patience and effort, but not only in the TV queue. Anyone can forge their own path if they dedicate themselves and chase ambitions that aren\u2019t confined to a single outlet\u2014especially in the vast sea of art.<\/p>

War didn\u2019t stop us: I launched three major artistic initiatives in Syria from 2013 onward\u2014the \u201cWamda\u201d project, the Stage Art company and center, and the \u201cTheatre for Change\u201d project with the UNDP. I\u2019ve taught acting for over ten years through training and workshops. This hidden cultural document will one day emerge publicly at a time and place of my choosing.<\/p>

As Muhammad Sobhi said, \u201cCameras only go toward the trivial, my friend.\u201d True artistry builds a strong, enduring structure\u2014either you clad it well, or it\u2019ll crumble the moment you stop renewing and preserving it.<\/p>

Q:<\/strong> What about the films you participated in that screened at Cannes and won awards?<\/p>

A:<\/strong> At Stage Art Group in the UAE, we collaborate with international companies to train core cast members\u2014often people new to acting\u2014from zero to camera-ready. We also strive to create deserving opportunities for youth that focus on exploring their inner worlds over the long term rather than instant fame. A key example is our work with actress and model Siran Riak on the Sudanese film Farewell Julia<\/em>, directed by Mohamed Kordofani and produced by Station Films. It was the first Sudanese film ever selected at Cannes and won the Freedom Award\u2014congratulations to them and to us for that collective achievement. We have many more important partnerships in the pipeline, which we\u2019ll discuss in due time.
