This is a story about oscillations between certainty and indeterminacy. Rejecting the traditional relationship between Dance and Choreography means attentively following the myth of Aphrodite’s birth. Born from foam, Aphrodite evokes images of irregular rhythmic patterns, the spectacle of movement over movement, and the voyage from one pattern to another.

Read moreSTREAM OF THOUGHTS: INTERLACE
Anamaria Klajnšček and her team blend music and dance to explore the potential of a ceaseless collective flow of thoughts.

Welcome to Spider Festival 2023, a Dance study of the digital space as a field of resistance to the hegemonic contemporary choreography interfaces. We invite you to tilt in and out and encounter empty frames filled with organic materials. Welcome to the place of opacity, inhalation, and reflection. Bring all the data and expectations, and let all thought be metabolized by idiosyncratic dancers who feel their way through the world imaginatively and artfully.
Medtem ko mi Spotify po meri ustvarja playlisto z naslovom Moodymix
Filip Štepec in Jernej Potočan nagovarjata čas, v katerem Google brskalnik najbolje pozna naš notranji svet. Za izhodišče vzemata nereflektirano vskadanjost, beg med štiri stene, skrite fantazije, ki pa se paradoksalno zrcalijo v naših brskalnikih.

Ljudje posegamo v gozd, a je tudi moč gozda, da oblikuje ljudi, neizogibna. V gozd si gremo celit rane, v gozdu rane nastanejo, tišina gozda ni nenasilna, glasnost sveta prav tako ne. Z Rdečim gozdom Leje Jurišić se sooči pet plesalk in plesalcev, koreografinj in koreografov. Nastaja omnibus soočanj z gozdom in rdečo.

V začetku leta 2022 se je umetnica Tatiana Kocmur skozi umetniško perspektivo pričela posvečati raziskovanju zgodovinskih in aktualnih problemov telesnega in spolnega nasilja ter koncepcij in jezika (ali pač ne-jezika) o bolečini. The Following Body je prva vizualna artikulacija tega raziskovanja.
Read moreSTD – Spending Time Dancing
Spending Time Dancing presents Matej Kejžar’s artistic experimentation with Dancing discharged from the drive for choreography. In order to relieve dance from the burden, constructed in the concept of choreography, the burden of a carefully planned succession of movements as progress, the dancers indulge in the processes that defy the linearity of both movement and time. They compost.

Read moreCONCERT
For quite some time, the dancer and choreographer Leja Jurišić has been developing her interest in the arts that in their time transformed the field of art, those that had cut into it, stirred it up, and redefined it. This impulse and focus can be observed in her creative work; she collaborates with artists from various fields to create pieces in which she can cross the conventions and boundaries of a dance performance. In the new piece entitled CONCERT, the horizon of the leap from the dance arts is even bolder, even bigger.

Ni mogoče čakati zaman
Ni mogoče čakati zaman Miklavža Komelja in Leje Jurišić je soavtorski projekt dveh umetnikov, ki prvič sodelujeta. Odločila sta se, da bosta delila skoraj enoleten ustvarjalni proces, znotraj formiranja končnega umetniškega dela pa ne želita sprejemati kompromisov, zato sta ustvarila vsak svoje avtonomno delo z naslovom Ni mogoče čakati zaman.
