Animotion Media and TODA launch ‘The Fixies: Tech It Easy'
Tickets for the show are now on sale, with performances scheduled throughout May 2025.
Animotion Media Group, a producer and distributor of children's animated content, has partnered with the Theatre of Digital Arts (TODA) to unveil The Fixies: Tech It Easy — the first immersive children's show hosted at TODA since its grand reopening in April 2025.
Premiering on May 3 and running throughout the month, the show brings the animated characters Simka and Nolik to life in an interactive, tech-driven experience designed to entertain and educate. Leveraging TODA's state-of-the-art, projection-based venue, the production blends storytelling, science and digital visuals to introduce young audiences to the fascinating world of modern technology.
The Fixies: Tech It Easy transforms familiar everyday objects into epic adventures, sparking curiosity in children as they explore how gadgets work — from smartphones to smart homes. The experience kicks off with a lively Meet & Greet where children can interact with their favourite Fixies characters, followed by a 30-minute screening inside TODA's immersive digital theatre. The screening is packed with laughter, exploration, and Fixie-style problem-solving, enhanced by the venue's 360-degree projection technology.
After the show, young visitors will head to the creative corner, where they'll animate their own characters, engage in hands-on activities, and leave with Fixies-themed souvenirs — a take-home reminder of their digital adventure.
Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager at Animotion Media, said: 'TODA is the perfect place to showcase The Fixies. The show itself is highly interactive by nature, and TODA's cutting-edge technology beautifully complements the storytelling, creating an incredible world kids can truly step into. We're thrilled to partner with TODA to bring a new kind of educational entertainment experience — one that not only inspires kids to learn about technology but also builds lasting engagement and a strong fan community.'
Anna Magritskaya, Managing Director of TODA, added: 'We are proud to host The Fixies: Tech It Easy at TODA. Our goal has always been to create memorable, meaningful experiences where entertainment and learning go hand-in-hand. Through this collaboration, children will experience technology in a whole new way — playful, educational, and unforgettable.'

For summer outfit inspiration, check out 'And Just Like That'
'Yes,' I exclaimed, sitting bolt upright in bed, startling my husband as an image of Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) wearing a midnight blue, long-sleeved gown appeared on my feed last week. (I am fully cognisant that pre-sleep scrolling is a terrible idea, but fashion has callous disregard for circadian rhythms.) Obviously, Vivienne Westwood, not obviously this season, the dress in question turns out to be a vintage piece once owned by the late designer herself and now worn by SJP to the premiere of And Just Like That… Season 3. Streaming this weekend on OSN+, the third instalment of the Sex and the City (SATC) spinoff is set to bring a much-needed jolt of life to my style mojo this summer. Is it just me, or has all that greige, oversized suiting we've been exposed to for so long gotten a bit, well, greige? I am old enough to remember the time that Prada did grey in the late '90s and the entire high street followed suit; Marks & Spencer looked like its school uniform department had overrun the entire store. After a few seasons of ubiquitous restrained V-neck woollen sweaters, it's no wonder sense went out of the window and brightly coloured, bedazzled Juicy Couture tracksuits came rushing in. Since then, fashion has done its cyclical thing; sometimes OTT and shouty, sometimes restrained and whispering. In the 2010s, the birth of Instagram inevitably went hand-in-iPhone-clutching-hand with the kind of exuberant street style best exemplified by then Italian Vogue fashion editor Anna Dello Russo (ADR). Peacocking became an actual job – influencing – and no one did it like ADR. Not since Carrie Bradshaw had completely bonkers style choices been so celebrated. By this decade, macro trends – minimal, maximal, and everything in-between – have been rendered obsolete by the takeover of the algorithm, which feeds us increasing amounts of what we already like (in my case, Taylor Swift). But that hasn't stopped a pervasive desaturation of fun in pursuit of cool from dampening the fashion outlook. Even ADR has hung up her Dolce & Gabbana cherry hat for a life of meditation and yoga. Thank the fashion deities then, for SJP and her alter ego, Carrie, showing us that we can still find joy in fashion, that smiling is allowed, and that bow-adorned hot pink shoes are never a bad idea. Even in a rat-infested New York summer. We are now two decades on from the conclusion of SATC. Parker turned 60 this year, and I am delighted that she refuses to let the advancement of time dull her style sparkle. That medieval corseted navy Westwood dress was inspired; nodding as it does to Bradshaw's iconic wedding gown, which the character re-wore to the Met Gala in Season 2 of And Just Like That… Personal style doesn't have an expiry date. Neither should it have rules. One day we can be Carrie in layers of tulle, the next we can be Miuccia in a minimalist Prada re-edition from the 2000s. I have to confess my own inclinations tend to fall on the Carrie side of the fence. In a fashion-off between saccharine-shaded lashings of tulle and androgynous griege suiting, 99 per cent of the time I'll side with the tulle. There's something so life-affirming about going full Patricia Field, whose original costumes for SATC were as much a cast member as Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte and, of course, NYC herself. So yes, I'll be tuning in for the fashion this weekend, just as much as the narrative thread that as Elie Habib, CEO of OSN+ & Anghami, says, 'Not only celebrate timeless friendships that transcend cultures, especially in our part of the world where close-knit social and family ties are deeply valued, but also reflect the evolving journeys we all experience, beyond the bounds of age.'

This Southern-style Saturday brunch in Abu Dhabi serves drinks brewed on-site

There are brunches – and then there's brunch at CRAFT by Side Hustle. Every Saturday from noon to 4pm, CRAFT throws down a bold feast.

Add sides like creamy mac 'n' cheese, crunchy slaw, seasoned skinny fries and slices of sourdough pizza and you've got a menu that's made for serious foodies. Dessert brings more American classics – think buttermilk pie and fresh, sugar-dusted beignets. Setting the vibe while you're chowing down on delicious food? The resident DJ who will be spinning the deck from 1-5pm. CRAFT is the UAE's first and only microbrewery restaurant where everything is brewed just metres from your table – and yes, the brunch serves pints. The drinks list doesn't stop at hops though.
