Culture is Medium III
Artistic interventions and an exhibition
Culture is Medium is a several years long project initiated by the Maribor Dance Room in 2008. The aim of the project is a constitution of creative dialogue between the wider public and the audiences on the one hand and makers on the other.
Passing though Maribor
In the beginning of 2010, 50 professional dancers from 29 countries gathered in Costa Rica for 10 weeks to participate in a unique project called 50 Days of Flying Low and Passing Through Costa Rica 2010, which took place under the guidance of a renowned pedagogue and choreographer David Zambrano, who also developed the mentioned techniques (passing through, flying low).
Look at Them Now!
Look at them now! faces and negotiates the absurdity of watching and being watched, crossing borders between going to the zoo and going to a performance.
Fictitious Situations IV
It is becoming increasingly clear that different European foundations and organisations that finance culture and art focus their support on projects that follow the ideology and tendencies of the European Union politics. Both the artists and cultural producers adjust and reconcile their ideas and positions to the cultural policies of the European Union only to be able to continue with their artistic work.
Dedublarea
Dedublarea, my graduation piece, is a reaction to a certain educational system. I've tried to approach dance and its choreographic problematics with irony and distance. This comfort allowed me to place myself lucidly in the middle of quotations, clichés, and references.
Did She Dance on Stage
This investigation-in-performance or performance-in-investigation by Min Kyoung Lee is putting the questions about dance and theatre on stage. Min begins the work with particular assumptions, namely, that dance is an event, something that either happens or not, that dance is first an experience, before it is used as a medium for conveying meanings in theatre.
Ways of Love
The performance Ways of Love embarks on a research, investigation, and formulation of a common language of two authors with very different formal backgrounds and experiences. They meet through common themes and common working process, with which they at the same time investigate the dialectics of this particular creative collaboration. The process and the product centre on the intimacy created in the artists’ encounter.
Playgrounds
Looking for GROUNDS to PLAY
A playground is a site for creation and playful exchange with no or basic tools in one’s hands. Thus, simplicity and imagination are needed. A playground is a gathering of those who don’t necessarily work on the same idea but share the same procedures, of those who don’t necessarily know what they are working on but feel the need to try out and have instant insight.
