Festival PLESkavica

The upcoming Pleskavica Festival 2010 consists of two main and somewhat distinct programmes. The first is entitled Short Cuts 3 and will premiere 14 short contemporary dance performances created by participants of this year’s NOMAD Dance Academy (NDA), whereas the second entitled Blow Up will present three contemporary dance performances of authors and dancers already familiar to the local audience.

The festival programme will be accompanied by discussions on the subject of the Region’s dance potentials and possible models of collaboration together with the meetings of the NDA partners. These events are planned for the purpose of questioning the capabilities and the specificities of the regional productions and their placement into the European context.
