rubberbodies is a multi-disciplinary artist collective based on the island of Malta. The initial idea was not to create a collective. Jimmy Grima, artistic director of the collective, describes how all this started from an addiction to create. ‘It all started in 2009, when Rebecca Camilleri and me started open improvisation sessions in a house in Mdina. There was no script or dramatic context. Then, Matthew wanted to create a skirt which could be used as a choreographic tool’. Since then the collective has kept on developing its methodology and approach towards creating performance based work, whilst seeking new collaborators to strengthen this structure which is thriving to exist in the contemporary art culture.
