ŻfinBlinks

Short and sharp, as the name suggests, ŻfinBlinks is ŻfinMalta’s new online programme of short videos, developed by Artistic Director Paolo Mangiola, and dedicated to the making of dance. Each video, created and written by our Creative Learning and Archive Officer Emma Walker, explores how choreography is used to compose dance. Every episode investigates different choreographic tools and their development over time, and through the analysis of a range of works, from solos to large ensembles, we look at how dance-makers create. ŻfinBlinks provides flashes of inspiration and information on the evolution of dance by unpacking its rich and multilayered history and and delving into the creative process, giving our audiences invaluable tools for the experience of dance.

ŻfinMalta Podcasts

This series of podcasts, produced and presented by ŻfinMalta, aims to highlight the myriad ways dance features in our lives, reminding us that everyone has a relationship with movement, and everyone has an experience of dance. It’s also an opportunity to draw on the opinions, ideas and perspectives of the many voices in our cultural ecology. In these candid interviews by members of the ŻfinMalta team, we get an insight into the lives and minds of dancers and choreographers, as well as artists working in other disciplines, policy makers, curators, writers, directors and thinkers, many of whom are also our collaborators.
