Open Rehearsals

ŻfinMalta's Open Rehearsals

Open Rehearsals invites audiences into the National Dance Company’s studios for a sneak peek into ŻfinMalta’s upcoming works…

Open Rehearsals take audiences behind the scenes of ŻfinMalta’s productions during the creation process. This is a rare opportunity to preview the work before opening night and experience the process of what goes into making a dance production for stage. Join open rehearsals for each production throughout the season to see the dancers at work and meet the many artistic collaborators who bring a work to life.

Audiences are granted free entrance with a ticket to the open rehearsal’s relevant performance!

 

Purchase your ticket for our next production and present it at the door for free entry! Interested participants not in possession of a ticket for the relevant performance can buy an open rehearsal for €5 .

NEXT OPEN REHEARSAL…

Aringa Rossa .10 Open Rehearsal

Saturday 3rd February 2024 , 14:00

Join us at ŻfinMalta studios for a behind-the-scenes rehearsal of Aringa Rossa .10’ by Ambra Senatore. This Open Rehearsal is led by ŻfinMalta rehearsal director Brenda Lee Grech and features Vincent Blanc, assistant to choreographer Ambra Senatore.

 

Aringa Rossa’ was first created as a full-length work in 2014 and takes Senatores compositional style to the extreme, constantly shifting the pieces of an ever more astonishing puzzle. Underpinning all gestures is the everyday, observed with a magnifying glass, which she shifts and reverses until the gesture becomes fictionalised, until the dance becomes theatrical. Adept at surprises, cuts, and reminiscent of cinema ŻfinMalta are now producing Aringa Rossa .10 as part of ŻfinDays 2024.

 

Dont miss this opportunity to catch the dancers of ŻfinMalta National Dance Company in rehearsal with Vincent Blanc! Gain insights into the creation process of Senatore’s work: the encounter between the ten-year-old original and the personalities of these dancers, who you will also have a chance to interact with in our Q&A! ‘Aringa Rossa .10’ is supported by the Embassy of France in Malta and Italian Cultural Institute of Valletta

 

If you already have your ŻfinDays 2024 ticket, entrance to this rehearsal is FREE! RSVP via this form to let us know you will be attending: https://forms.gle/L1XbJM2BFgfvdX359

Open Rehearsals are an opportunity to connect with the National Dance Company in the more intimate and informal studio setting, a bonus peek into upcoming performances and an opportunity to see a snippet of the work if you cannot make the actual performance!
