Description

Providing an intensive experience over two days, ŻfinMalta is hosting Nico Monaco to lead a contemporary workshop for dance practitioners from 15 years and over. 


In his workshops, Nico draws from his experience with renowned choreographers the tools that allow the dancers to increase the knowledge of their bodies and their movement by combining technical exercises and guided somatic improvisation.
