Programme Note

Malta International Arts Festival (MIAF) invites Dance Schools to participate in the first edition of Young Creatives in Motion. MIAF is passionate about bringing young dancers together to create a truly inspirational programme of live performances, encouraging young dancers from a range of dance genres to present their work in a professional environment. The event aims to discover emerging talent and skills in young dancers and choreographers across the island (whilst increasing access), raise standards and improve progression in dance on a national scale and support the teachers and leaders who deliver dance both in and out of school settings. This national platform essentially encourages the next generation of dance artists and leaders. “Young Creatives in Motion” will present five new choreographies set to the music of Ligeti, Bartók, Stravinsky and Poulenc.
