A double appointment with Andrea Costanzo Martini, dancer and choreographer, has animated the rich programme of the Dance Festival Malta, a multidisciplinary festival that for years has offered a successful platform to attract students’ and professionals’ attention to the world of dance.
The dancer from Piedmont, with an international training gained between Germany, Sweden and Israel, performed on 25 July in “What happened in Turin”, a reflection on the deep-rooted relationship between each performer and the stage, a space of conflict in which the viewer’s eye caresses and at the same time ‘petrify’ the dancer.
On 26 July, was held the contemporary dance workshop “Gaga dancers class”, dedicated to the choreographic language developed by Ohad Naharin during his work at Batsheva Dance Company. The Gaga style has a liberating approach to dance, demonstrating how physical effort translates into consciousness of vitality and ultimately pleasure. Explosion, flexibility, instinct, power are some of the keywords.
