DFM Workshops 25 July

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

ŻfinMalta’s Education programme is dedicated to delivering versatile and tailor-made models of exposure to dance training. The aim of the programme is to create a safe space for the development and exploration of movement techniques, under the expert guidance of tutors, both local and international.  As part of Dance Festival Malta, ŻfinMalta presents a repertoire workshop for young people aged between 13 – 18 years. The workshop provides a strengthening and confidence-building exploration of the ŻfinMalta repertoire, with a focus on the work ‘ONES’, by Simon Riccardi-Zani, which premiered as part of ZfinMade – New Futures, in December 2022. The workshop will explore the notion of rebuilding landscapes through daily life gestures, and ask: ‘which actions from yesterday may not be a part of our future?’ It will look at how dance can emerge from the translation of nostalgia and memory. Participants should have experience in dance and be ready to learn and present material from the workshop in a sharing at the end of the day.
