Snippets of HEAT (2024, Davy Pieters), where we explored how we live with heat in ourselves, between each other, and inside the long echo of intergenerational family dynamics. Looking back at this work, I feel a big love toward the final scenes in this edit with Gerindo and Johanna. I got to play moments that felt deeply human to me, raw and strangely real, with some beautiful mimers who are incredible in their craft ❤️ 👩‍🎤 Concept, direction & scenography: @davypieters 🏛️ Production House: @theaterrotterdam

I’m just so so excited to finally be able to start sharing what I’ve been working on for the past year - Nisa! In Maltese, ‘Nisa’ means women and I’ve been on a research and practice journey, falling in love again and again with the women and island I hail from. Each woman in this project is inspired by women I know, have met, have heard of, or events that have taken place within the Maltese daily ritual. All the stories are laced with humour, exploring the wonderful island that will always be home. In the meantime, if you’d like to see more, I will be sharing all my research and BTS footage on the project page @nisabystefgalea .

Touching Grief: A Gentle Space for Movement, Reflection & Connection This 2-hour grief workshop offers a gentle, supportive space to slow down, listen inward, and explore grief through reflection, movement, and shared presence. You are invited exactly as you are. There is no expectation to ‘fix’, explain, or resolve anything. The workshop is facilitated by: @borgruth_ : bringing an artistic and movement-based approach
@saraaminom : bringing a therapeutic, trauma-aware, and psychoeducational lens We’re holding a calm, non-judgmental space where we explore grief together through somatic practices and gentle movement. We’ll be spending time together using guided reflection and journaling techniques, with an emphasis on nervous-system regulation, grounding, and self-care. This is a support-based, psychoeducational workshop. Who this workshop is for: * Adults (18+) * Anyone experiencing grief in its many forms (recent, ongoing, unspoken, or anticipated) * Those curious to explore grief through the body, movement, and reflection * People seeking a slower, more tender way of being with loss You do not need to have experienced a recent bereavement to attend.

Introducing @borgruth_ 🤍 Ruth is a performing artist based in Amsterdam, working across theatre, performance, and film as a performer, maker, writer, vocalist, and facilitator. Her practice centres on the body and voice as sites of connection, creating spaces that invite power, liberation, and joy to resurface where they may have been buried. For Just For Today, Ruth is working alongside Sara in facilitating two intergenerational workshops ‘Touching Grief: A Gentle Space for Movement, Reflection & Connection’, creating a sensitive and embodied space for participants to explore memory and loss through movement and shared presence. More information about these workshops will be launched soon! This project is supported by @artscouncilmalta and @rosa_kwir with the ongoing support of @hospice_malta 🌻 Photo by QiQi van Bohemeen

some more cinema from the last years 🎞️✨ finally having some space and time to look through it all and really appreciate these beautiful moments on different film sets. thank you @id_direttur for all the cinematic journeys we've been on ❤️

I love this scene from @ciaociaofilm and the magic moment we stumbled into while shooting it. We were in Malta on a heavy, hot summer night, filming inside a house while the feast of Santa Marija roared through the village outside. Fireworks were exploding across the sky as they always do during our summer festas. Before we rolled, the director @id_direttur told us this had to be a one-taker. No cuts. Just one continuous breath. In the scene, I had to walk through the outside of a house, looking around, remembering a place my character once called home. After a long stretch of fireworks, a sudden silence fell over the village. The director said ok let's shoot! Midway through the scene, just as I was settling into the walking, the sky tore open again. Fireworks. First thought: fuck. And then I felt ok I have to let them in. I enjoyed so much letting them bleed into the moment as if they were meant to be there. Favourite collaboration of 2024: me and the fireworks. Viva Santa Marija. @id_direttur @filmproject_ @roughcut_pictures

finally found the key to my inner peace! 🦹 Thank you to the character of Fate and her mysterious power. Through you I learned that the hand of fate does not only guide us but it also waits for us to reach back⋆｡°✩ Images - @elisa_von_bee Make up - @gabriellegrungo
