Dance Festival Malta is a multi-disciplinary festival that strives to cultivate a dance ecosystem in Malta by providing dance students and professionals with a platform for intense training and professional development. Spread over four days in July the festival will host a series of workshops, masterclasses and performances that welcome the richness of the universal language of dance cultures, featuring established international artists and choreographers. Through this varied programme, audiences and participants can be part of a unique festival that not only celebrates movement but aims to be a reference point where dancers forge links with the global dance community and encourages intercultural exchanges. Dance Festival Malta represents a re-examination of how we look at dance inviting you to share in a world of passion, movement and connection in Malta.

Insights into the processing of the “end”, or “non-end”. The moment between the end of a performance, the reunion of the dancers and the meeting with the audience. Is it really a conclusion or are the bows themselves a performance in themselves , an integral part of the performance? Does the performer have the ability to detach from the performance or is the act of being observed an extension of it?
