Culture Pass
Under this initiative, every primary and secondary school student in Malta and Gozo gets access to attend an artistic performance per year. This measure – one of the deliverables of Arts Council Malta’s Strategy2020 – includes events of a cultural and artistic nature targeting students in all years from Junior to Senior Sector. Activities are held between September and June. Moveo has 4 eligible projects which fall under the culture pass scheme. Each project includes a performance and workshop, aimed at Junior, Middle or Secondary school children, based around various relevant themes such as bullying, Microplastic in the Ocean, and social media amongst others. All these projects are fully funded by the Arts Council Malta, and will incur no cost to the school. Every project includes a short introduction, a 20 minute performance, followed by a 20 minute workshop with the students. The performances and workshops can be held at the school premises and require very little technical assistance.
Available Performances
EAT ME
Eat Me is an artistic take at communicating about healthy eating and nutrition in a way that leaves a positive impact so they can grow up learning how to eat well.Kids are bombarded with junk food all the time, and unless they’re living on a remote isolated commune in the middle of nowhere, it’s just about impossible to avoid it. They will see other people eating these foods, they will be given these foods, they will like them, and want more of them. In our best efforts to educate them, when we label foods as bad, unhealthy, or junk, then we could make them feel bad about themselves for enjoying it, and we also set the stage for a classic parent-child power struggle. This is why our approach is to teach them, so they don’t feel bad about sometimes having junk food and enjoying it, but understanding the harmful effects certain foods have if consumed regularly or in abundance.
Available for Pre school - Grade 3

A dance/theatre performance inspired by a true story of a student suffering anxiety because of teasing at school, for his body type, and how he dealt and overcame it with his role model.

PLASTOCEAN
The aim of this project is to promote environmental sustainability in a very accessible way to children in primary schools. PlastOcean portrays the relationship between a person on the beach and a turtle. The person is oblivious to the dangers leaving plastic on the beach poses to those living in these surroundings. Each scene will show a different state, for example: starts from someone sunbathing and throwing plastic around, to ending up in the sea, to be eaten by a turtle etc.. This will be portrayed through dance and visuals which will make the performance educational and artistic. Our turtle mascot will take more of a prominent role in the choreography as it is our educational mentor to the children almost like the symbol of Xummiemu. Following the performance, the turtle will open a discussion about the 4Rs and a movement based workshop dealing with this topic will follow.
Available for Junior School.

Duende or tener duende ("to have duende") is a Spanish term for a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity. This is what FLAMENCO as an art form is all about – Duende. The piece depicts the constant struggle to find the ‘duende’. As dancers we all face an internal struggle to reach the optimal level of what we believe is ‘our’ style of dance. That struggle is what gives each and every one of us the strength to continue doing what we love most, even if we find obstacles along the way. Being pure and loyal to the purest form of Flamenco is very difficult in the contemporary dance world of today, however exploring and diverting ones’ style does not mean that one looses purity and duende. And at the end what is most important is that the dancer expresses the duende within to the audience.
