EAST DANCE ACADEMY is a research-educational project gathering several international initiatives and institutions with the goal of revalorization of East European dance history, educational model and praxis that can develop on the basis of thinking dance as a cultural, not solely aesthetic category. EAST DANCE ACADEMY is a reality check discussion with numerous experts from fields of theory, dance and other arts with a goal of setting foundation for the development of the project based on "Artistic positions on the current debate on education", a project of Tanzquartier Wien in collaboration with University of Vienna's Faculty of Philosophy and Educational Science and Institute of Theatre, Film- and Media Studies.

Participants: Saša Asentić, Bojana Cvejić, Oliver Frljić, Anders Härm, Martina Hochmuth, Emil Hrvatin, Ivana Ivković, Aldo Milohnić, Manuel Pelmus, Goran Sergej Pristaš, Priit Raud, Mårten Spångberg, Pavel Storek, Ana Vujanović and others


The evening program is part of a series of events marking the 10th anniversary of FRAKCIJA Magazine for Performing Arts. It includes three productions by Zagreb's younger generation of dance authors, authors whose work has integrated a research-oriented and reflective approach to choreography and performance. The three productions have all gone through a process that has included showing of different stages of the works.

Oliver Frljić & Zrinka Užbinec

The Importance of Having a Concept
(work-in-progress)

Concept and direction: Oliver Frljić
Performed by: Zrinka Užbinec and Oliver Frljić
Production: Centre for Drama Art

The production relates to its earlier version and its problematic framework. It takes as its starting point the kind of performing artists' solidarity that is a result of the experience of working on the first version. It explores performance politics that are the product of the absence of the problematic framework that generated the first version. This approach emphasizes representative modes of solidarity.

* Saturday, 25.11., 20:00, Academy of Drama Art, Zagreb

Solo : Cycle - Project On Labor

Choreography and performance: Željka Sančanin
Dramaturgy: Saša Božić
Coproduction: k.o and Centre for Drama Art
Set design: k.o.
Light design: Aleksandar Čavlek

The project Solo : Cycle, is a choreographical essay which refers to different aspects of the phenomena of artistic work in the medium of dance and choreography.
Through autoreferentiality, Solo : Cycle explores normative ideology of choreographical practices, attempting to emphasize the tangibility of the dance medium, its perceptive visibility and semiotic elusiveness.

Marjana Krajač & Selma Banich / Sodaberg

Lady Macbeth in furio

Authors/Choreography/Performed by: Marjana Krajač and Selma Banich
Space design /Architectural assistance: Filip Tadin
Movement assistance: Nensi Lazić
Dramaturgical support: Andrej Mirčev
Costumes: Katarina Fišter
Light design: Miljenko Bengez

In the second research phase authors Marjana Krajač, Selma Banich and architect Filip Tadin use the methods of the deconstruction of the Verdi's opera material developed in the first phase to create a new platform for the further research. The figure/two figures of lady Macbeth take a central role in the reinventing the space – fictional and real - where the possible story of Macbeth could have taken place. Building from her death once again, the figure of lady Macbeth becomes an archetype – immortal figure which materializes itself at different places and in different times but always going through the same events – reliving her story over and over again.

The evening program in collaboration with Culture of Change, Student Center, Zagreb.
