Moveo Dance Company 

26 October 2014

10:30am Studio Theatre (second show at 11:45am (once the 10:30am is sold out)

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.

ZFin Malta Dance Ensemble

30 November 2014

10:30am Studio Theatre (second show at 11:45am (once the 10:30am is sold out)

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.

See-Quatic

Moveo Dance Company

14 December 2014 

10:30am Studio Theatre (second show at 11:45am (once the 10:30am is sold out) 

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.

Simplistically Complex-ed!

ZFin Malta Dance Ensemble

22 February 2015

10:30am Studio Theatre (second show at 11:45am (once the 10:30am is sold out)

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!

One Funny Ballet

Moveo Dance Company

29 March 2014

10:30am Studio Theatre (second show at 11:45am (once the 10:30am is sold out)

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.

10:30am Studio Theatre (second show at 11:45am (once the 10:30am is sold out)
