We considered choreographies that have changed the understanding of the dance itself, of the choreography and the body: Hexentanz by Mary Wigman from 1926, Kontakthof by Pina Bausch from 1978, and SelfUnfinished by Xavier Le Roy from 1998. They have digressed from the dance norms of their times in a revolutionary way. In this work we were most interested in considering the process of normativization in dance, as well as in the society we live in. What we saw as great potential for reexamining the position of people with disabilities in dance is the way all three choreographies deal with the question of Other and foreign, the relationship of the individual and society, and the question of identity. As a group of artists with and without disabilities, we wanted to reactualize these questions and thus intervene in contemporary dance scene today, offering a possibility to artists with disabilities to appear as subjects and actors of contemporary dance.\r\n","extra_information":"Concept and artistic direction: Sa\u0161a Asenti\u0107\r\n\r\nChoreography and artistic collaboration: Natalija Vladisavljevi\u0107, Alexandre Achour and Olivera Kova\u010devi\u0107 Crnjanski\r\n\r\nPerformers: Natalija Vladisavljevi\u0107, Jelena Stefanovska, Sne\u017eana Bulatovi\u0107, Dalibor \u0160andor, Marko Ba\u0161ica, Frosina Dimovska, Dunja Crnjanski, Alexandre Achour, Olivera Kova\u010devi\u0107 Crnjanski and Sa\u0161a Asenti\u0107\r\n\r\nPoems: Natalija Vladisavljevi\u0107\r\n\r\nDramaturgy consultant: Marcel Bugiel\r\n\r\nArtistic assistant: Frosina Dimovska\r\n\r\nAdvice on costume design: Marina Sremac\r\n\r\nExecutive producer in Novi Sad: Nata\u0161a Murge Savi\u0107\r\n\r\nCoproduction: Kampnagel (Hamburg), K\u00fcnstlerhaus Mousonturm (Frankfurt), MIKUB e.V.

Her writing discourse has never met the imperative of the linear narrative, the Aristotelian principles of possible and probable, nor the Archerian economy of discovering the truth. Following her intuition and listening to her heart, she jumped over the staircase of Freytag's pyramid and avoided all the known tricks of the art of storytelling, perfected for centuries. In one step she arrived where many writers with education and years of training arrive only then when they find a way to shake off these theories and ask themselves the question (of all questions): who needs the strong frame of realistic fiction in a reality that looks less and less like realism? On a planet where two of the most distant points can come together in one click, where the greatest wisdom doesn't mean anything if it can't fit into 140 characters or one tweet, a basic unit of contemporary communication; in a world of touch screens and social networks, representation, links, fragmentation and de-fragmentation, where simultaneous and multi-perspective perception replaced the linear, succesive and explanatory one, what is it worth to write respecting the grammar, chronological and language rules?...\r\n\r\nI don't know if Natalija, as an author who writes by hand, ever thought of finding answers to those questions, but the first thing that comes across in her texts for the theater is a post-post modern form: free, wandering, fragmentary and open, perfectly corresponding with the time in which it is created and with the theater of this time.\"","extra_information":"Book distribution: postal order","people_on_road":"3-4","freight":"","freight_details":""}],"country":null,"artform":null,"theme":[]},"yoast_head":"\n
