ARE YOU A DOG? TELL US ABOUT IT!
Antisezona and choreographer Stina Nyberg are looking for dogs and their people in and around Park Ribnjak.
In the frame of Antisezona's programme, Stina is creating a guided tour through Park Ribnjak from the perspective of a dog. She is curious to hear the gossip on living as – or with – a dog in this neighbourhood.
What are the hot spots? What has changed over the years? Where do you find the best shade, the best leftover food scraps, the best water holes, the best playgrounds? Are there any local disputes? Or have local love affairs spawned any Ribnjak puppies?
Welcome to the Dog Café in Park Ribnjak!
Wednesday, 17 June, 18:00
Meeting Point: entrance of Centar mladih Ribnjak.
There will be coffee, water and treats for humans and dogs.
Stina Nyberg is a dancer and choreographer, born in Örnsköldsvik and based in Stockholm. She regularly falls in love with new stuff and uses choreography as a means to learn more about these new objects of desire. Her artistic work is conceptual and practice based – insisting on a learning process based in practices, with no conflict with the close relationship to reading, writing and theorizing.
As a feminist socialist, she enjoys working with other feminists of all genders and expressions, animals when needed. Collaboration underpins her artistic thought and feeds into an intricate web of experimentation, rarely knowing who did what, when. She tries to remember to give cred to contemporaries and those who came before her.
Some of the recent love affairs have involved doom, details, dogs, electricity, gossip, speed, dance history, Nikola Tesla, birds, Meyerhold’s biomechanics, mindreading, liquids and laughs. She regularly engages in storytelling, sharing her view of the world through new facts and fiction, and practice her attention to the details that shape a group experience. She enjoys dancing, moving and being moved – never shying away from a dancing spectacle. The experience of being a group dancing together is a joy she wish to share with an audience.
Carson’s Cry emerges from a collective reading of Anne Carson’s text The Gender of Sound. By inviting Una Bauer, Ivana Bojanić, and Nina Gojić to join her, Anna Javoran initiates a shared time dedicated to a search for a meeting point between each participant’s individual interests and practices, theoretical and practical, thus creating a collective field of research as a response to the propositions of the initial material. During this sharing session, texts created before, during, or after the research process will be read alongside excerpts from the readings undertaken together. Through this attempt, this quest, three branches of exploration, three echoes of a cry, and three responses to the historically restrained, (self-)disciplined, and oppressed voices have emerged.
Anna Javoran is a choreographer, performer and dramaturge from Novi Sad, Serbia. After studying at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb at the Contemporary Dance program, she completed a Master’s Degree in Performance Dramaturgy.
She works across various fields and roles – not out of necessity, but out of the need for diversity and multiplicity of perspectives. As a performer, she highlights her collaboration with Sonja Pregrad on the performances D O W L (2021) and O (2023), as well as participating in the auto-bio-choreography jérôme bel within the STAGES project (Croatian National Theatre Zagreb, 2023).
In addition to her work as a movement director and dramaturgy assistant, her choreographic and collaborative works include stasis: to visit (in collaboration with Ariana Prpić, 2020), the online collaborative project Found Choreography (presented at the Antisezona Festival in 2020), The Secret Garden (a performance for young audiences, in collaboration with Irma Unušić and Sabrina Fraternali), a textual score for a mobile phone One Mississippi Two Mississippi (2024), and Fear of Small Differences (in collaboration with Viktoria Bubalo, 2022), which earned her the Croatian Contemporary Dance Professional Associations’ Award for Best Choreography and Best Collective Performance, as well as a nomination for the Croatian Theatre Award.
The Expose programme 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.
The programme consists of a workshop, performances, an exhibition and a panel talk. Museologist Tea Kantoci will curate an exhibition presenting specific artistic methodologies for developing museum modes of working and organising, placing them in a new context. Dance artist DISCOllective (with dancing paper), new media artist Luana Lojić (with glossy playlist) and interdisciplinary artist Niko Mihaljević (with crystal phenomena) have been invited to activate their materials through experimental performative formats. Dance artists Abby Crain and Sonja Pregrad will conduct a workshop/performance Literature of Moving, the result of their ongoing research on dance as culture/collecting as responding/listening to the land.
What do the artists collect/store?
How do the artists relate to the archiving process?
By which criteria do the artists produce their “objects/documents”?
Is it meta-reflection on their own work/life, or is it driven by the need for historicizing and remembering the landscape?
Perhaps it’s just a commentary on the archival turn we’re experiencing.
