Teatru Manoel nurtures and promotes the artists of tomorrow, as well as the integration of culture and education for audiences Now in its eighth season, the Toi Toi project continues to evolve and develop in of all ages and backgrounds. During the course of this year, with Valletta positive ways. Coming personally from the education sector, it is particularly being the European Capital of Culture, Toi Toi has staged some remarkable reassuring and exciting for me to see such an important and successful productions, one in particular being HUSH, which was the fruit of collaboration project already in place; a project that, not only connects the entertaining and between the Valletta 2018 Foundation and Teatru Manoel Youth Theatre. educational aspects of the performing arts but, also, develops and engages an audience from the widest spectrum of ages, literally from babies to the elderly. Toi Toi’s success is not only what it presents on stage, but also the impact it leaves away from it. So many children have fallen in love with music, drama, I foresee a very successful season ahead, both for the theatre and the dance, art, and culture in general, through our Education Programme, and education programme, and I invite you, our audiences, to be part of it! it has also touched the hearts of many adults who experience a sense of nostalgia when our performers have them sing along and participate with their own children! MICHAEL GRECH ELIZABETH EBEJER TEATRU MANOEL - CHAIRMAN TEATRU MANOEL - CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TEATRU MANOEL EDUCATION PROGRAMME 2018 | 2019 TEATRU MANOEL EDUCATION PROGRAMME 2018 | 2019 A note from the Artistic Director DIANE PORTELLI DANCE CONSULTANT As many of you are no doubt aware Toi Toi along with ‘break a leg’ is theatrespeak for wishing a performer well. It’s all to do with euphemisms! While the Teutonic origin of Toi Toi is rather sinister the similarity to a ‘toy’ in the English language is irresistible and naming our Education Programme Toi Toi has proved to be a great success since it’s inception seven years ago; especially when considering the very young age groups involved. Sadly DORIAN MALLIA Toi Toi’s former director Rosetta Debattista recently resigned for pastures new and the DANCE CONSULTANT theatre has now taken over the ongoing Education Programme which now falls under my aegis as Artistic Director. Toi Toi consists of children’s educational programmes in music dance and drama alongside Teatru Manoel Youth Opera and Theatre. These two entities provide operatic and theatrical training for aspiring singers and actors and it is my intention to work very IAN MOORE closely with the various artistic consultants whom we have engaged to create a synergy DRAMA CONSULTANT between what goes on the main stage and all aspects of Toi Toi. This is especially pertinent SARAH SPITERI where TMYO and TMYT are concerned where the work of both entities will culminate in MUSIC CONSULTANT an annual production and also spell more involvement in operatic and dramatic works throughout the season.
