The dance and movement workshop is dedicated to opening up and finding analogies between the artistic practice and work methodologies used in the performance Mašina. In her original project, Bojana explores strategies of staging and discovering different performative mechanisms for addressing issues from the intimate corpus in the public sphere. The workshop begins with a warm-up focusing on the anatomy of the body and the perception of the body as a whole. In the creative part, we will explore choreographic procedures that incorporate principles of repetition, accumulation and composition in the layering of different elements of the performance.

The workshop is admission free and suitable for everyone with a good prior knowledge in the field of dance.
Registration is required at bojanamisic@yahoo.com. 

Workshop participants enjoy reduced admission to the show (EUR 7).

An original project of the REAKTOR collective, KRIK::GRAFIJE is an exploration of the codes embedded in the individual's body and psyche that guide people’s actions and are expressed through sexuality as pleasure drive systems. The artistic team address the phenomenon of addiction to the pursuit of pleasure on the cognitive and biological levels. The emergence of AI-generated content is progressively challenging our conception of what is possible – thus expanding the individual's reference field of visual material and generating new forms of potential fulfilment of sexual desire. The manipulation of video material, the rhythmising of bodies and voice, and the neuroscientific background of the pleasure drive are the performance’s main areas of research. The show examines the codification systems of individual experience, which are then manifested at the behavioural level and in the way (inter)personal relationships are formed.

KRIK, an ongoing project by the Kolektiv REAKTOR, sheds light on unspoken social taboos with a focus on sexuality and interpersonal relationships. The project was awarded the University Prešeren Prize for innovatively extending the boundaries between art and society.

A show for fathers and sons.

A story about the search for inner freedom.
A story of freeing oneself from the past and personal trauma.
A story about becoming human again, about embracing the hardest thing, 
the death of a loved one.

In Greek mythology, Daedalus, the builder of the labyrinth at Knossos, fashioned the wings with which he and his son Icarus escaped from Crete. Icarus flew too close to the sun and plummeted to his death.

What happens to the father who’s lost a son? How is the father to extricate himself from the trauma of his loss? This is the starting point of the show.

The story takes place today, in our modern world, on a Mediterranean island on the migrant route leading from the Mediterranean to Europe.

Intimate and overwhelming, the show captivates with its powerful narrative and poignant music.

For the past twenty-five years theatre director Jernej Lorenci has enjoyed a successful career directing in Slovenian and international theatres. He has won many important national and international awards for his directing. In 2006, he was appointed as an assistant professor of radio and theatre directing at AGRFT.

Author of over sixty books translated into more than twenty languages and winner of numerous international awards, Aleš Šteger is one of the most internationally recognised Slovenian writers.

Jure Tori is an accordionist and composer. With his idiosyncratic style of music-making, Tori virtually uses sound to draw stories that are open to visualisation. He has formed several groups, including Tori Tango, Tori Trio, Orlek, Flora & Paris and Satori.
Šteger and Tori have been performing together for a number of years, interpreting Šteger's poetry. Two years ago, their performance My War Accordion was produced by Cankarjev dom.

A hundred minutes for existence. 
 

The 100-minute dance-music show TRIS (TRIAD), modifying and synthetising three independent dance-music projects developed over the last four years, constructs a cohesive unit of architecture. Bringing together three very dissimilar, exceptional music artists, Ana Pandur’s Tris offers a reflection on ways of being. 

The path traversed by TRIS ranges from the emergence of an intangible third entity at the intersection of the idioms of music and dance, through the quest for the freedom of flight, on the assumption of an ideological shift of a creative mind, culminating in the establishment of one's own playing field of silence, whiteness, solitude and the body incorporated therein.

Marija brez glasu Voiceless Mary, a duo with percussionist Špela Mastnak and featuring music by Matej Bonin, is a slip, an intangible third entity that emerges at the intersection of two languages, on the borderline between projection and reality. The starting point is always the individual experience of a dancer and musician, whose narrative relates solely to the familiar, interlaced with the question of where in the process is the dimension of the universal, the common human, the connective, which flows comfortingly back into the particular. The female (dancing) body remains a permanent fixture, walking the line between communicating with the self and the externality, while remaining a field of projections, doubts, as well as the search for one's own space, at once a subject and an object. 

Črni zvoki Black Sounds, a duo with Damir Avdić and his music, provides a starting point for reflection on the meaning and power of creativity, while raising questions about the ideological abuse of the transformative power of art. With Black Sounds we explore the field of freedom, the break with convention, the intersection of the moment of the personal and the real in a creative act and their implications in the social. Lorca's text, as inspiration and ideological foundation, lends substance to the overriding theme, which is in paradoxical relation to the distortion of meaning that the text has been subjected to in the 20th century, with an emphasis on historical repetition. Articulating a trans-genre freedom, the quest for meaning and the beauty within, or in spite of, a given context, is crucial. Black Sounds thematises the eternal recurrence of the same and the longing for the freedom of flight. Every system that resembles a game also entails a possibility of error, of slipping. At the same time, a slip can result in an ideological distortion that turns a newly created game, bereft of a final thought, into a tool of manipulation whilst also manipulating it. The scales can tip one way or the other. Searching for the intersection of two worlds where the imminence of the end/death is always a foregone conclusion, whether for production, ideological or political reasons, it examines the various consequences of the ideological abuse of creative thought.

Beli šum White Noise, a dance solo featuring music by Matej Bonin as the negative, leads to the creation of its own playing field. The solo is defined by silence, whiteness, solitude and the body incorporated therein. What are the rules of the game in a given situation, what is allowed, where are the limits and what defines them. Creating one's own space when all that is left is solitude. Who sees whom and how the limits of one's world affect the limits of one's freedom. The dance-music project White Noise addresses the themes of loneliness, isolation, punishment and the symbolic exclusion resulting from non-conformity with the current social paradigm and its implications.

The dance-performative research Izbrano telo (The Exquisite Corpse) forms part of Emanat's series of projects by young (but not exclusively so) artists, dedicated to researching the language of per-formance. With this kind of research we seek to break the concentration of creative processes fo-cused purely on the product and to refocus them primarily on developing the performative language and reflecting on the questions of WHAT and HOW in producing an original creation. In collabora-tion with Cankarjev dom, movement research conducted by three different artists will be presented before the public, freely using the surrealist principle of the parlour-game cadavre exquis (the exquis-ite corpse) to reflect on the structure of a presentation, on the development of a performative lan-guage, or on the methodology of the work being developed through research. Their investigation of movement-based forms will be presented by Alja Branc, Jasmina Križaj and Neža Kokalj.

The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session with the artists hosted by Maša Radi Buh.

Jasmina Križaj (1982) is a dancer and choreographer based in Maribor, whose work is integrated into a broader European context. She graduated in choreography from De Hogeschool voor de Kun-sten, De Theaterschool, Amsterdam, department SNDO – School for New Dance Development. Her shows have been presented at many national and international festivals. For the last few years Jasmina has worked in partnership with the Swiss artist Simon Wehrli. She is currently finishing her second year of body-oriented psychotherapy studies and is a practitioner of Taoist healing methods (Chi Nei Tsang I, II, III).

Neža Kokalj (2002) is currently completing her dance studies at Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität in Linz, Austria. She previously attended the dance programme at the Secondary Preschool Educa-tion, Grammar School and Performing Arts Grammar School Ljubljana. In Ljubljana, she has con-tributed to the critical platforms Kriterij and Aplavz since 2019, and has worked in interdisciplinary projects with musicians and visual artists in Linz and Copenhagen.

Alja Branc (1994) is a dancer, performer and artist working between Slovenia and Hungary. She received her first contemporary dance education within the context of the dance programme at the Secondary Preschool Education, Grammar School and Performing Arts Grammar School Ljubljana and continued her studies at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy. Alja works in partner-ship with different Slovenian and Hungarian artists, and it is this collaboration and the sharing of creative processes that deeply inspire her work and research in the field of dance and, as a result, allow her to share her findings and the passion for developing movement.

Duration: 60 minutes

The Machine is a duet between Bojana Robinson, a choreographer and dancer, and a breathing machine occasionally used by her daughter. Although the device has entered Bojana’s life to alleviate her child's medical condition, the artist explores her personal relationship with a technological device that directly and indirectly affects her life.

The choreographer explores the nature of the machine, tracing its evolvement into the performance’s subject and ways of embodying the relationship between devices and humans.

The title Sukeban derives from the Japanese term for female delinquents and girl street gangs, formed as a direct result of and feminist response to male gangs' refusal to accept female members. Sukeban is a fantasy-performative performance that employs the format of an interactive game to experiment with the position of anonymity and control in the online environment. It thematizes girl gangs and women's online movements, which actively and engagedly problematise the representation of women and the female body in the virtual environment. Exploring the phenomenon of "incels" and related forms of online sexism – in an aesthetic and narrative blend of manga, anime and videogames – Sukeban depicts a fictional world of superheroines fighting discrimination. Sukeban is a fantasy of contemporary female vigilantes, establishing – through communal playfulness – its own rules of the game, gameplay, struggle, revenge and the free space of the female gaze.

The performance is in Slovenian.

The creative team invites female viewers to participate actively and anonymously in the show, all they require is a mobile phone with internet access.

In her new work, Counterfeits, Imprints and Other Intrusions, Magdalena Reiter returns to the solo form revisiting and questioning some of the topics she has dealt with as an author in recent years – from the attempt to analyse collective memory in the context of the influences of visual and film iconography to the reference field in which she has formed herself as a dance maker. She emphasizes the power, as well as the violence of visual imagery and the instability of influences that mark both our collective consciousness and her personal creative path. Through the body in motion, she opens up a dual relationship and a dialogue with the field of references, which involves both respecting and dissecting the elements down to their most elementary particles.

The performance is being created as a choreographic hyperreality that is both playful and analytical, literal and metaphorical, raising perhaps the most relevant question of Reiter’s new performance – the performative body at the moment of going on stage and the extent to which it is possible to escape the limits of one’s own reproduction.

COUNTERFEITS, IMPRINTS AND OTHER INTRUSIONS: Magdalena Reiter from Mirabelka productions on Vimeo.

in Vodopivec is returning to the stage with a fresh stand-up comedy show titled "Elektro Banana." You can expect a new hour of material, inspired by all the crazy events of the recent period, as well as directing his first film, going through a divorce, and writing this text.

Did you know that comedians write the descriptions of their own shows?

"Elektro Banana" is Tin's sixth show, following his past performances in "Superdupermega / 360 degrees" (2011), "Replika" (2012), "Desert" (2014), "RocknRoll" (2018), and "Peti element" (2019).

"After such a varied performance, you can't be bored!" once wrote the legendary British critic Steve Bennett about my performance. Pretty cool, right?
