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. (more…)

Via Negativa: VIA NOVA

The material for the Via Nova cycle of performances has been extracted from the Via Negativa performances, created between 2002 and 2008, in order for the extracted material to be approached anew and placed within new formats and contexts. The seven deadly sins have given rise to numerous issues since 2002, which turned out to be of such crucial importance for the artists, that a need for tackling the issues in question once (and over and over) again appeared. Via Nova thus constitutes a platform, enabling performers to autonomously form contextual, thematic and interpretive frameworks on the basis of the Via Negativa material on the one hand, while preserving its open spirit for different forms of presentation in regard to these frameworks on the other. The performers appear as independent authors: they sign under their work, which they also contextualize and entitle. (more…)

Nina Fajdiga, Jasmina Križaj & Tina Valentan: SUGAR RUSH

Sugar Rush is a performance project that through the medium of movement and music aims to invoke unbearable sweetness of a shared community – a memory of a paradise that never really existed and yet it is forever lost. Although in its initial intention it refers to the collection of imprecise and personal reminiscences of Yugoslavia, the country that was violently wiped from the map of Europe during the last decade of the 20th century, Sugar Rush is not seeking to make political or critical statement on the subject.

A NEW PERFORMANCE OF SLOVENE CHOREOGRAPHER AND PERFORMER MALA KLINE: THE END

“THE END is a performance about us both: You playing the role of a spectator and Me playing the role of a performer. It is a performance about our encounter within the theatre – at the very end of the world. Only one law applies within the walls of a theatre: the Law of artistic madness. Under it, the theater becomes a space of freedom. This is why this performance pushes the limits of theatre, reason, judgment, and embodies madness turning things upside-down while holding expectations of the unexpected. This performance is nothing but an exercise in presence, nonsense, mistakes and laughter. Last but not least, this performance is a topsy-turvy dance in which we both take part in.” Mala Kline (more…)
