About
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.
