Providing an intensive experience over two days, ŻfinMalta is hosting Nico Monaco to lead a contemporary workshop for dance practitioners from 15 years and over. 

 

 

ŻfinMalta Dance Intensives are curated as themed experiences, focusing on a particular movement technique and exposing participants to guest teachers commissioned who contribute to company dancers’ training.  Intensives are best experienced in their entirety through package offers however drop-in sessions are also up for grabs for a taster of the whole experience. In his workshops, Nico draws from his experience with renowned choreographers the tools that allow the dancers to increase the knowledge of their bodies and their movement by combining technical exercises and guided somatic improvisation.
