ISADAC Celebrates 34th Graduating Class: A Night of Artistic Triumph in Rabat
The prestigious Mohammed V Theatre in Rabat buzzed with excitement on Sunday evening as the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts and Cultural Activities (ISADAC) celebrated its 34th graduating class. Distinguished figures from the worlds of art, culture, and politics gathered to honor the newest generation of Moroccan talent.
Latifa Ahrar, Director of ISADAC, opened the ceremony with heartfelt congratulations to the graduates. She emphasized the collaborative effort between students, faculty, and partners that culminated in this joyous occasion. Ahrar expressed confidence in the graduates’ readiness to embark on their artistic careers, highlighting the comprehensive training they received, blending fieldwork, craftsmanship, and academic knowledge. This holistic approach, she noted, equips them to excel in diverse artistic disciplines. This echoes a growing trend in arts education, where institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of practical experience alongside traditional academic learning. A 2022 UNESCO report highlighted the importance of such integrated approaches in fostering creative industries globally.
The ceremony was graced by the presence of prominent figures, including Lahcen El Asaadi, Secretary of State for Traditional Industry, Social and Solidarity Economy, and Salah Eddine Abkari, Acting Secretary General of the Ministry of Culture. Renowned artists such as Noura Skalli, Myriam Zaimi, Bouchra Ahrich, Amine Nassour, and Farid Regragui also joined the celebration, demonstrating the strong connection between ISADAC and the Moroccan artistic community. This underscores the institute’s role as a vital incubator for talent within the nation’s cultural landscape.
ISADAC boasts a rich history of nurturing successful artists who have made significant contributions to Moroccan cinema, television, and theatre. Alumni like Bouchra Ahrich, Noura Skalli, Hicham El Ibrahimi, Samia Akariou, Fatima Ezzahra Qanboua, Sandia Tajeddine, and Saad Moufakkar have achieved widespread recognition for their work in film and television. Their success stories serve as inspiration for the graduating class, demonstrating the potential for a fulfilling and impactful career in the arts after graduating from ISADAC. This legacy of excellence contributes to the institute’s reputation as a leading force in arts education in Morocco and beyond. The continued success of its graduates strengthens the cultural fabric of the nation and contributes to the global artistic landscape.
This graduation ceremony wasn’t just a celebration of individual achievement; it was a testament to the power of arts education and its role in shaping the future of Moroccan culture. As these graduates embark on their artistic journeys, they carry with them the legacy of ISADAC and the promise of a vibrant and dynamic future for the arts in Morocco.
