Contemporary Workshop with Nora Sitges Sardà

International guest artist Nora Sitges-Sardà (William Forsythe, Ohad Naharín, Wayne McGregor,) brings her professional practice to Malta for a dynamic contemporary workshop, tailored for intermediate students of dance, aged 11–15.
Based on the method Frames of Movement, created by Nora Sitges-Sardà, this workshop begins with a warm-up where participants are guided through explorations of different ways of moving, and are invited to discover how our bodies work. Step by step, participants will build their own movements and dynamics, leading to creative improvisations using all the qualities we explore together.
The workshop creates a safe and open space where everyone can explore their abilities and challenges, play, connect with others, build confidence, and enjoy the joy of moving together.

Suitable for intermediate-level dance students aged 11–15.
