Post Malta festival

Hello all!

Malta's back in action after a much needed break after your visit even though we were all so hyped up after you left! When we met again two weeks after Belgiun and UK had left here we were all still talking about all the tiny details of the memories we now carry. The full group is still meeting weekly; but on Fridays the participants who are coming to the UK meet up in order to develop a twist from our september peformance specifically to perform for you in December.

But before we get there... Sara would like to post her comments about your presence in Malta at the festival!

Sara:
'I enjoyed the festival mostly to meet the foreigners. It was good to hear their accent. They learnt some Maltese words! I felt good when I took part in the workshops with the foreigners because it was good to learn new things: how they act, and how they used their words to translate. During the performance I felt excited and happy. The dance I made was good and it really worked out. When the other Maltese were doing their act for the first time it was good to see. We worked hard for the performances. Even the foreigners liked it. The festival events were:

A little update from Belgium

Hi everbody,

It’s been more than a month now, but we are still talking about the good times we had in Malta. You can take a look at the pictures and we have just put a movie clip online on http://www.ccleopoldsburg.be/pages/subpages/fotos_filmpjes/opening_doors.html. Here you see our live appearance on local television where we tell about our Malta adventures. Even if you don’t understand Flemish, you can see how enthusiastic we are. And we are sure you will recognise our famous ‘Kabas Song’ (or ‘Basket Song’ in Maltese ;-)) at the end. Take care & see you all in England!

Best regards from Leopoldsburg!
