Dance Studies
BA Degree
2020-2023
-
In June I finished my studies at the University of Malta in Dance Studies. During my 6 semesters here I have studied modern ballet, Graham, Cunningham, Horton, and various release techniques, which have been supplemented by improvisation, somatic training, contact partnering, Bartenieff, and various body conditioning classes. During university, I had the opportunity to broaden my horizons and work and create collaboratively with actors and musicians. I also created independent choreographies for dancers and for myself. I also experimented with media and technology, which gave me the possibility to create my own short dance film. In my final year, I had the opportunity to work with 4 choreographers and to tour Malta and Ireland with the pieces they created.
I also had the chance to explore the world of pedagogy. In the last six months, I completed a teacher training course with a foundation that provides dance classes for elderly people with Parkinson’s disease and worked as a dance teacher.My main teachers were Francesca Tranter, Sara Accettura, Dorian Mallia, Dr Paula Guzzanti, Dr Lucía Piquero, Dr Mika Lior, Dr Margaret Westby, Dr Deborah Williams, Zoe Camilleri, Julienne Schembri
