The Company

ŻfinMalta, together with Teatru Malta and KorMalta, forms part of the National Agency for the Performing Arts. The company is a home for groundbreaking artistic collaborations that centre movement as a transformative force in our world, engaging a breadth of artistic voices from near and far to create visually striking, physically distinctive dance work, that captivates the imagination of audiences nationally and internationally. Embedded within the artistic ecology of the nation, ŻfinMalta strives to highlight Malta as a vibrant cultural centre within the European landscape of artistic practice. 

ŻfinMalta is made up of nine full-time dancers, and two apprentice dancers, hailing from Malta and across Europe. Behind the scenes is a highly skilled and passionate team of dance and arts professionals who bring to the company their expansive knowledge of the local and international contemporary art world. 

Under the artistic direction of Matthew William Robinson, ŻfinMalta is a radical force in the dance landscape, critically engaging with the multifaceted nature of contemporary society, challenging and re-imagining the dynamics of movement and representation. Through the integration of diverse perspectives and innovative practices, we seek to explore and articulate new paradigms of physical expression. 

ŻfinMalta transcends traditional boundaries and conventions of dance, using a range of artistic methods to interrogate and reflect upon the evolving intersections of culture, technology, and identity. By fostering a rich dialogue between Malta and the world, we aspire to create a space where diverse perspectives are acknowledged and deeply examined. 

In our pursuit of artistic excellence and intellectual rigour, ŻfinMalta endeavours to inspire thoughtful discourse and transformative change. Our goal is to continuously push the frontiers of dance, enriching the cultural landscape and challenging our audiences to rethink the role of dance in a rapidly evolving world. 

ŻfinMalta regularly works with international artists who bring rich dimensions to the work we make, from dancers and choreographers to composers and designers. In recent years the company has collaborated with choreographers including Paloma Muñoz, Diego Tortelli, Liliana Barros, Kor’sia, Sita Ostheimer, Emanuel Gat, Tania Carvalho, Mauro Bigonzetti, Ambra Senatore, and Roy Assaf. While international touring has seen the company perform in Italy, Germany, Greece, France, Slovenia, the UK, Serbia, and Jersey.
