The Malta International Arts Festival (MIAF) presents the third edition of Young Creatives in Motion. MIAF is passionate about bringing young dancers together to create a truly inspirational programme of live performances, encouraging young dancers from a range of dance genres to present their work in a professional environment. This event also aims to discover emerging talent and skills in young dancers and choreographers across the island, raise standards and improve progression in dance on a national scale and support the teachers and leaders who deliver dance both in and out of school settings. MIAF is presenting 2 different programmes for Young Creatives in Motion, featuring 4 different dance schools in each programme. In the first lineup the choreographies will be set to a music programme of works for piano and percussion performed live by Tricia Dawn Williams and Daniel Cauchi.
