Having had the privilege of performing in a few dance festivals overseas over the last 20 or so years I have always hoped that Malta will one day be proud to have its own. I very much trust Francesca’s vision, experience and commitment to this endeavour and hope to attract large audiences with the riveting performances and workshops which will be presented. I particularly hope that audiences will be drawn towards our inclusive performance and Open-Air community performances and workshops at the Lower Barrakka Gardens.
