ŻFINMADE – NEW FUTURES

SIX EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHERS

​

In the future, what will be left of the land that produces fresh food toDay? Will anyone be here to work the land, if there is land left alive during climate change? Each day, humans will wake up to the instruction to swallow a set of food capsules, thus erasing from their lives the possibility to experience all senses activated by eating and preparing food, and the social aspect of gathering around food. How can a dancer fully experience their senses and body when their diet is in capsules? Will they rebel in order to reconnect and provide fuel for their body?

 

 

CHOREOGRAPHY & STORY: CHARLENE GALEA

​

ŻfinMade is one of ŻfinMalta’s biennial signature programmes and exemplifies the company’s ongoing commitment to cultivating contemporary dance practice in Malta. Responding to the theme ‘New Futures’ and the question ‘what will the future look like in 100 years?’ ŻfinMade invites six emerging choreographers and artists working with movement to create a series of solos and duets with the ŻfinMalta company dancers.

 

Presented in collaboration with Spazju Kreattiv, the project provides a space to foster and nurture local artists, bringing them into contact with the country’s leading institutions. Each of the six choreographers is given the resources to develop and create a new work, including mentorship by the company’s artistic director and staff.

 

ŻfinMade culminates in four evenings of dance performances showcasing the work and introducing the choreographers and dancers to new audiences and collaborators.
