Domino Residency 2025: Unfolding the Work of NDA CRO
Performance Situation Room
On 28 May 2025, Nomad Dance Academy Croatia (NDA CRO) gathers in Karlovac for a one-day Performance Situation Room titled Unfolding the Work of NDA CRO. This focused working session is dedicated to revisiting, mapping, and activating the collective memory of NDA CRO’s work from 2011 to 2025.
The core team — Aleksandra Janeva Imfeld, Koraljka Begović, Melita Spahić Bezjak, and Davorka Skrelec — will come together to construct a timeline, collect archival materials, and define the formats through which this rich history will be preserved and shared.
The Performance Situation Room will function as a live, open space for research, dialogue, and decision-making. Not a fixed retrospective, but a dynamic and evolving process rooted in experience, collaboration, and care.
The outcomes of Unfolding the Work of NDA CRO will inform a public presentation in autumn 2025 during the Karlovac Dance Festival, with the possibility of a publication that will further extend and reflect this archiving process.

The Domino Residency is not only an artistic project but also a platform for the exchange of ideas, collaboration with local communities, and advocacy for the development of contemporary dance in Croatia.
