The Secret Garden 
MOVEO DANCE COMPANY
26 October 2014
10:30am and 11:45am Studio Theatre 
Recommended age: 4 – 7

Ugly and ill-tempered Mary talks of her past, her birth in India and of how she ends up living in England. She finds a key and leads us to the secret garden where we discover creatures, odd and beautiful. Spoilt and wicked Mary, turns into a beautiful flower that blooms, representing all that is good.

Moveo Dance Company create the creatures in the secret garden. This event will be split into a 30minute performance and a 20 minute workshop where children can explore the dancers' movements and embark on a choreographic journey with them. The participants will be invited to discover the magical garden through interactive dance.

Choreography by Dorian Mallia.

3 Dialogues 
ZFin Malta Dance Ensemble
30 November 2014
10:30am and 11:45am Studio Theatre
Recommended age 7 - 11

Sometimes we are angry and aggressive, sometimes we get on with each other and at other times, we feel incredibly comfortable with each other. Two dancers take you on this journey. These emotional stories, where body language speaks louder than words, are depicted through movement, sound, colour and costume. 

Choreography by Francesca Abela Tranter.

See-Quatic 
MOVEO DANCE COMPANY
14 December 2014
10:30am and 11:45am Studio Theatre
Recommended age 4 – 7

See-Quatic is an underwater explorative experience where children are taken on an aquatic journey. The performance space is converted into an interactive space giving the illusion of an aquarium, where children can discover the giant sea creatures and their surrounding habitat. Vibrance, colour and lavish costumes are a few of the enchanting elements our young audience will encounter throughout this performance. In order for them to get really immersed into the deep sea, the children will also get the opportunity to meet and interact with the giant octopus at the end of the show.

Choreography by Dorian Mallia/Christina Cauchi.

Simplistically Complex-ed! 
ZFin Malta Dance Ensemble
22 February 2015
10:30am and 11:45am Studio Theatre 
Recommended age 11+

Inspired by Mozart, the ZFin Malta Dance Ensemble show off their agility, speed and virtuosity in an energetic and humorous production. Why not listen to Mozart's 6th Symphony (F Major: K43) before the performance and see what ideas you come up with!

Choreography by Mavin Khoo.

One Funny Ballet 
MOVEO DANCE COMPANY
29 March 2014
10:30am and 11:45am Studio Theatre 
Recommended age 7 - 11

The production has fun with classical ballet and the impression some people have of it!
Showy ballerinas, melodramatic behaviour and boys in camouflage tights who end up in the middle of two jealous divas wanting to steal each others limelight. All this is presented through a simply hilarious narrative, performed through mime and dance.
Choreography by Dorian Mallia

10:30am and 11:45am Studio Theatre
