CREATIVE BODIES IN MOVEMENT

 

Creative Bodies in Movement is an initiative aimed at migrants for whom we have prepared a series of educational programs in the field of performing arts: performance/dance, costume design, scenography and theatre music. With this project, we are encouraging the creative potential of migrants and strengthening intercultural and intergenerational dialogue. The project, which is carried out in collaboration with the Public Institute Cene Štupar and a number of renowned Slovenian artists, is co-financed by the EU European Social Fund and the Republic of Slovenia, Ministry of Culture

 
 
 
 

The investment is co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union under the European Social Fund.

In 2021, the Pekinpah team started Creative Bodies in Movement, the project designed to engage migrants to act productively and creatively, building up their skills and increasing opportunities of employment in Slovenia, in the field of performing arts.

The project is organised around 5 different workshops led and mentored by renowned Slovenian artists: costume design, scenography, dance & performance, music and the individual counselling. The workshops will enable the participants to gain skills and knowledge necessary for creating and giving a closing public presentation, wich will witness participants' newly acquired skills and progress and close the project in February 2023.

With the project Creative Bodies in Movement, we encourage creative potential of migrants and intercultural and intergenerational dialogue. At the same time, we are promoting the power and value of the performing arts, and art and culture in general.

Through our educational programs and counselling, 46 migrants will gain knowledge and skills for acting independently in the field of performing arts.
