Company Open Classes – Contemporary with Sarah Vella
May 15 @ 10:00 am - 11:15 am
Contemporary with Sarah Vella
Get your morning moving in a class with the ŻfinMalta company dancers and one of our expert guest teachers. Once a month for a week or more, local and international professional dance artists are invited to join the company’s morning practice. Techniques explored are ballet, contemporary, and somatic practice. Classes are suitable for young dancers and established practitioners alike. ŻfinMalta provides an open and inclusive space where participants can further develop their professional practice, make connections, and experience life inside Malta’s National Dance Company.
Join Sarah Vella for a week of contemporary company open classes, accompanied by live music from Benji Cachia. This contemporary-based class is designed to awaken and prepare the body for movement, focusing on alignment, fluidity, and dynamic range.
Beginning with a gentle warm-up, Sarah’s classes will progress through technical exercises and guided sequences, to improve articulation, control, and full-bodied movement, encouraging an embodied connection between body and space. Structured improvisation will be introduced to explore spatial awareness and different qualities in the body. The class will end with dynamic phrases aimed at fostering strength, flow, and freedom of movement.
