iPads, iMacs & AirTags unveiled in Apple’s 2021 Spring Event

Apr 21 2021

Apple’s Spring Event happened yesterday evening and in typical Apple fashion, a number of ground-breaking new products were dropped, along with some highly-anticipated tech updates.

Accompanied by a number of staple blockbuster ads, Apple announced two new iPad Pro models with increased battery life and 5G options, along with an improved camera while also announcing a fresh line-up of iMacs in many different colours.

What really blew our minds was the unveiling of the Apple AirTags which are small, customisable tags which allow you to track your stuff through the “Find My” app on your phone, making lost wallets and keys of the past, and they cost around €30.

Apr 21 2021

Dancer, choreographer and The MVMT director Cheryl Lofreda has just been part of a huge concept video for the song Madonna by Apache 207 and Bausa. The barrier breaking and woman empowering dance video was created, directed and choreographed by international Choreographer and performing artist Mecnun Giasar with film director Henry Scholfield. Artistic credits also include the likes of Billie Eilish, Stormzy, Dua Lipa and Rosalia among others. Co-Choreograhper on this project was Natalie Gilmore, whose artistic credit includes Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, Jason Derulo and Selena Gomez among others.

The idea behind the movement video is to redefine what the ideal definition of beauty really is by including various artists from around the world. The song itself hit #1 on Spotify charts, and refers to a woman that dances like Madonna. Mecnun’s idea was to bring all these women together to produce a movement oriented film.

Cheryl Lofreda, the Maltese dancer participating in this international project, commented on her experience; ‘Honestly this was really unexpected.’ After having to postpone a show at the Manoel Theatre, she received a phone call from Mecnun Giasar who ‘explained the job and explained the importance of the message behind the video.’

’30 beautiful women from all over the world united in 1 studio to form part of this perspective-changing project. Every morning we were getting tested before starting our rehearsals so that we could practice in a safe environment’ said Cheryl. ‘I believe that with our Art forms we can always make a difference… Believe more, have patience & work hard and you’ll see that things will start to change for you.’
