10 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 5 JANUARY 2020 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Music & Dance 9 JANUARY Movimento In the second season of Movimento, ŻfinMalta is collaborating with Heritage Malta to introduce dance to a wider audience. This project allows participants to recog- nise tools of choreography in dance and in life. Watch dance come to life at MUŻA with experts who work with movement, and be part of it! Have you ever wondered what contemporary dance is all about? Ever come out of the theatre scratching your head in puzzlement? Now you have the chance to gain skills and become an active specta- tor by attending Movimento, a series of five appointments with five different artists in- troducing you to the art of dance and choreography. Anybody (recommended age 12 years onwards) who is cu- rious about dance and how it is made can attend. Sessions are casual, informal, informa- tive, immersive, interactive, and most importantly, en- gaging. Each session will be led by an expert assisted by the national company danc- ers, and will explore notions around the works that are currently being programmed by ŻfinMalta. Movimento experts take inspiration from life and its complexity and through their eyes attendees will start a journey in which they will discover that pat- terns of choreography can be found in anything around them. 10 - 25 JANUARY Valletta Baroque Festival 2020 The 8th edition of the Val- letta Baroque Festival will, once more, feature top-notch artists, both from Malta and abroad, performing wonder- ful music from Monteverdi to Bach & beyond.
