Expose brings together authors and artists from various fields of art who practice (self)archiving, (self)musealization, (self)documentation, (self)recording or/and (self)mapping through mixed formats and media. This three-day public event will explore these practices and their relation to the fields of dance and new media art.

Serbian dancer Nemanja Bošković joins workshops by Mathilde Monnier & Stéphane Bouquet, Nadia Lauro and Jassem Hindi in the frame of exerce by ICI–CCN.

This weekend Festival Programme Commun is kicking off in Lausanne! Apart from a vivid performance programme Arsenic invited to a Life Long Burning meeting, which includes a three days watch-and-talk programme for our Creative Crossroads artists, led by Ysaline Rochat.

Our Creative Crossroad artist Sonja Pregrad from Zagreb received the Croatian Professional Dancers Associations Award for the best performance in 2023, for her solo performance OBJECT OF DANCE. 

Divert Zagreb and Nomad Dance Academy Slovenia invite to a discussion with Valentina Miloš, Sonja Pregrad, Silvia Marchig and Gregor Kamnikar. 

Our Croatian Creative Crossroad Artist Sonja Pregrad presents her newest work O in the Course of Antisezona #5 on 24 November at Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb – MSU. 

Lokomotiva (Centre for new Initiatives in Arts and Culture) and Firstborn Girl (Festival of Feminist Culture and Action) teamed up with MOT Festival. They set up the performance platform A Missing Institution. The dramatic advisors Jette Büchsenschütz and Maeve Johnson are participating and will follow up with an article, a reflection on the contemporary performance scene of Skopje.

Our Croatian partner Divert is co-funding Anneleen Keppens new production Blue Moon Spring. 

With: Boris Barukčić, Ela Đimoti, Dora Pocedić, Nika Špekuljuk, Linda Tarnovski, Sara Trbara and Jovana Zelenović.

The participants, who joined the programme led by Aleksandra Janeva, had the opportunity to present their work. This event was a space for exchanging knowledge and experiences, a space for mutual support and opening questions in cooperation with other participants and the independent scene in Croatia and abroad. Participants have self-curated and organized the weekend in which visitors had the opportunity to meet them through very different formats.

Dora Đurkesac and Tea Kantoci were discussing with the artists after every performance during Improspections festival. They generate collaborative material which was interpreted afterwards at the closing session and shaped into a publication/zine, using interdisciplinary knowledge (art, design and museum studies).

The four artists are invited to contribute to the workshop programme of Improspection 2023 in Zagreb. 

Improspections invited Luka Švajda to share his artistic research project with students of the Department of Animation and New Media and the Department of Dance, within a four-day workshop and a public presentation.

As a part of the larger research project investigating how dance operates as a meaning-making mechanism, the workshop focused on the notions of matèrie ecrite (written matter) and immediate irreality. Matèrie ecrite is an invention of the French avant-garde artist Pierre Guyotat; however, this oratory, visceral, and rhythmic lexicon (i.e., a method of writing) was repurposed, allowing to experiment with different forms and media.

Divert is co-funding Vincet Riebeeks new work Don't Clapp for Crap, which will be premiering at Julidans on 4 July.

The lab embarked on a sensorial exploration in Zagreb’s botanical garden, using the different physical and vocal tools that were at hand in the artistic research of Faune/in the garden.

The garden is a vibrant and vivid ecosystem where multiple events take place; everything, everywhere, all at once: Participants opened up their field of vision – from the insect perspective to what’s there – on top of trees, the skin took an active part in the garden’s landscape and imaginative ears covered each centimetre of our bodies in order to tune in to the lowest sound, touch introduced us to the plant’s textures and their different shapes.

Alone and together, close to the plants and to each other, participants were traveling in the garden’s paths and its ever-changing tempor(e)alities.

The up and coming Croatian dancer and choreographer is participating at Choreographic Turn #7: Encounter with Deborah, which is a collaboration with Antisezona.
