Do you have a passion for dance but have never had the opportunity to engage in any dance training?
Then JUMP is the project for you.
JUMP is a Valletta 2018 project led by ŻfinMalta Dance Ensemble, Malta’s national contemporary dance company. Jump invites teens between 14 and 19 years of age, who have a passion for dance but do not have any formal dance training, to participate in creative workshops with the aim of establishing a youth dance group that will perform in different venues around Malta and Gozo. ŻfinMalta’s creative resident artist, Niels Plotard, will lead this project. In the run-up to, and during, 2018, JUMP will also provide opportunities for these youths to have a taste of what it means to work with professionals in dance through participation in a selection of performances by ŻfinMalta.
Dates for the project will be from Monday to Friday between:
13 July 2016 – 26 July 2016
26 August 2016 – 16 September 2016
For more information, and to apply, kindly send an email to educ.outreach@zfinmalta.org. Applications are on a first come first served basis. Deadline for applications is 24 June 2016.
