The Dream, the Will power and the Plan
for positive change - these were and
will always be the driving forces in
Professor Maalouf’s life and
professional career. The love to
communicate, share and interact with
people all over the world, regardless of
their age, gender, nationality, culture
and language.
As actor, Professor Maalouf has appeared
in many leading roles in theatre, film
and television screened locally and
internationally.
As director, he directed several plays
from the classical, modern, absurd and
experimental theatre and participated in
several festivals in Arab and European
countries. Parallel to his professional
work, Professor Maalouf has had a rich
academic career in teaching theatre arts
and performing arts courses at the
Lebanese University, (LU) the American
University of Beirut (AUB), St` Joseph
University and the Lebanese American
University (LAU). Many of his students
became leading artists in the fields of
theatre, television and film; together
with him they organized festivals,
seminars, artistic activities aimed at
bringing together the young people to
share experiences and interact so that
through the arts they could bring change
towards a better and more peaceful
society.
For him, the question remains: how to
make the world a place for mass
communication, culture and arts instead
of mass destruction, violence and wars?
Professor Maalouf dream goes on; his
determination is as strong as ever. He
sees no end to the motivation and
encouragement of young generations to
strive for a better life, for a change
that brings hope and bright, happy days
in the future.
At AUT, he found a fertile environment
to propose his ideas and take them to
fruition. AUT welcomes him as Dean of
the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
