Joeline Tabone (SRB) is currently Associate Choreographer at Aurora Opera House.

Joeline aims to create work that examines and dissects life — past, present and future — in the hope of always discovering new ways to convert into bodies in motion.

She believes that the development of new languages of movement is a vital part of choreography. This is why she prioritises a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to dance.

CHOREOGRAPHY

As a choreographer, Joeline works with the possibilities of ‘spontaneous choreography’, a term that, she explains, is only seemingly paradoxical. Her methodology focuses on the interaction between the conscious and subconscious — an interaction which, she believes, envisions and dictates movement. For Joeline, choreography is created when instinct and energy are transferred into dance.

NAUPACA DANCE FACTORY

Joeline founded Naupaca Dance Factory to assign a home to her experiments in choreography. Her aim at Naupaca Dance Factor has been to explore the most overlooked of concepts and spaces, and find beauty therein. This beauty, she insists, is most manifest in the unfinished aspects of a choreography – which the dancers receive and mould into their own selves, depending on their own feelings and experiences. Joeline also believes that a choreographer’s vision must remain flexible, to allow choreography to dictate itself and find fruition through the dancer.

TESTIMONIALS

I have had the pleasure to work with and examine Ms. Joeline Tabone’s Ballet students through  the Society of Russian Ballet. I found her students to be happy, engaged and well disciplined. Ms. Tabone is careful in her  instruction and is clearly making technical progress with them. From the very beginner to the  more advanced levels of ballet, Ms. Tabone has display herself to be a capable and talented  dance instructor. With each level of ballet, Ms. Tabone has demonstrated the correct instinct to build stronger  technique and to develop emerging artistry. This is a difficult task that requires great sensitively,  patience and perseverance on the part of the instructor. Ms. Tabone is energized by her dancers and continues to explore new avenues to keep them  motivated, inspired and challenged. 


I look forward to have the opportunity to watch her dancers progress and grow into future  ambassadors for the world of dance.

Jane Pound – Chairman & Examiner, Society of Russian Ballet

In the past years, Ms Joeline Tabone has choreographed the annual Opera productions held at Teatru tal-Opra Aurora. Furthermore, Ms Tabone has successfully produced six major contemporary dance productions that have also toured nationally, including Teatru tal-Opra Aurora, with acclaimed success. 

In view that her work is evidently inspiring and innovative, her artistically creative spirit has proved to be an asset to Teatru talOpra Aurora. Soċjetà Filarmonika Leone A.D. 1863, the proud owners of Teatru tal-Opra Aurora, the largest Opera House in the country, is grateful and proud of Ms Tabones invaluable contributions to the theatre and its productions

Dr Michael Caruana – President, Soċjetà Filarmonika Leone

I met with Joeline Tabone professionally in 2015 for a collaboration, and have since had the opportunity to collaborate with her on different occasions. I find her work very interesting as she has a strong sense of dramaturgy and a particular attention to details.

Her in-depth interpretation of psychological concepts through movement deserve to be diffused through appropriate platforms in order to gain more recognition on international levels.

“Rarely, if ever have I been moved so profoundly by any theatrical performance, as I have been by Immaculate. Angelic Acolytes ushered the 15-at a time audience up the stairs and into the various rooms with the concentrated control of magician.”
