YADA to perform dance show at conference centre

The YADA Dance Company is presenting "Graffiti", its latest dance show, at the Mediterranean Conference Centre on December 7 and 8.

The show, sponsored by Maltacom, Go Mobile and Di-ve.Com, is being directed by Felix Busuttil, and produced by Mr Busuttil and Catherine Strawbridge. Choreography is in the hands of Mr Busuttil, Justin Roy Barker and Vivienne Fielding Refalo.

Graffiti will feature a cast of 25 of YADA's best dancers.

Act One consists of three choreographies by Justin Roy Barker. The first, entitled Classical Graffiti, was inspired by the fusion of classical and modern arranged music, and choreography develops from a classically balletic and elegant style, to the strong and dynamic movements of modern jazz ballet.

The second piece, Karma, has soft and smooth contemporary style movements, that portray an inner calm and certainty.

The third piece, Cyber Space, uses six pieces of music with a definable, futuristic sound.

Act Two will feature choreography by Vivienne Fielding Refalo and Felix Busuttil, portraying various aspects of our lives and closing in on certain situations through the art of dance. The pieces are called Shoes, The World of Work, Secrecy of Love, Exploitation of Sex, The corporal and the spiritual, and Survival.
