Twelve dancers headed to Vienna last week to perform SPARK, during the opening of the Cultural Peace Fes- tival, 'Peace Starts with Me' on April 29. Their perfor- mance is collaboratively developed with the dancers themselves under the direction of Maltese dancer Althea Corlett. With music composition by Ralf Hildenbeautel and featuring the music video Spark by Boris Seewald, the participating dancers were Ilona Baldacchino, Elise Ellul, Josef Farrugia, Corinna Marie Abela, Julia Wang, Shinhai Ventura, Francesco Gerbi, Pinelope Mousga, Mariele Chiara, Warren Bonello and Althea Corlett. The first number follows the principle of cause and effect, expressing the belief that we have the power to change the environment around us with the energy and spirit we emit. The second piece similarly follows ying- yang, give and take influences, where being different from each other can empower us to support one anoth- er, whether we are weaker or stronger. The festival has reached all over Europe and bey- ond, and an estimated 12,000 people attended the Wieqner Stadt Halle for this celebration of peace and unity last Sunday. Apocalesque at City Lights, Valletta Maltese dancers perform for peace in Vienna Dancer Althea Corlett led a 12-strong Maltese dance team at the Cultural Peace Festival in Vienna last Sunday
