New Drama Classes Aimed At Understanding And Fighting Off Anxiety Attacks Coming To Malta This Summer

A lot of people suffer from anxiety nowadays — it seems to be a very huge issue especially among adults here in Malta. Some of us have to fight this disorder on a daily basis and not everyone has yet gotten the hold of what is best for them when it comes to fighting it. It is estimated that around 40% of adults and 10% of teens suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder around the world.

If you get bouts of anxiety, Studio18Malta have something exciting brewing just for you. This July, they will be exploring anxiety disorders and their symptoms through drama. The classes will involve an explanation of the disorders, how they come about, how to deal with them, and how to tackle them through the medium of drama. 

These handy workshops will be led by both local and foreign professionals who specify in the fields of performing arts and mental health. One of the performers for this class is Johnathan Tweedie, who boasts a portfolio in creative flair when it comes to musical theatre and choreography. Tweedie is known both locally and internationally and has had numerous theatre appearances in the UK and even in TV and film. Some of his renowned works include the role of Pontius Pilate in the UK and European tours of Jesus Christ Superstar, Robbie Hart in The Wedding Singer and How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying. 

Another international artist who will be taking part in this workshop will be Kostas, a freelance dance artist from Greece based in Malta. Kostas studied at prestigious schools like the Joffrey Ballet School in New York and the London Contemporary Dance School. He toured internationally with the Candoco Dance company and later on joined ŻfinMalta Dance Ensemble. Currently, Kostas is a freelancer and has been creating works locally with Pamela Kerr and offers various classes on our island. 

This course will be held from the 20th till the 22nd of July at The Box in Mosta. 

The price for this 3-day course will be €120, but whoever books before the 31st of May will only be paying €100.
