Jump is a Valletta 2018 project in collaboration with ŻfinMalta Dance Ensemble, Malta's National Dance Company. It is an exciting project aimed at teens between 14 to 19 years who have a passion for dance but have not had the opportunity to explore this art form.
Jump is an intensive programme delivered in phases where participants will be introduced to a professional dance environment. During a number of two-week intensive sessions, participants will experience daily class which will be used as a warm up but also as an introduction to stylised movement. The day will also involve creative tasks where movement material is created which will be used to create a choreography.
This programme will be held from Monday 10 April to Saturday 22 April (excluding Friday 14 and Saturday 15 April). There will be an additional session in summer 2017, which will be confirmed at a later date.
The aim of this project is for the participants to create a youth dance group that will train and perform together by the end of summer 2017 but more importantly, they will also be involved in a large scale dance project in 2018 as part of the European Capital of Culture year.
Deadline for applications is 31 March 31st. For further details send an email to educ.outreach@zfinmalta.org.
