Bitef Theatre, June 17, 8pm

Scrape showed up as a hint, as a feeling – of skin, somatic. 
It became the articulation of the state when bodies mix, dance and other bodies. 
Flinch, pain, numbness which exist only if there is someone else to feel them. Bodies emerge and disappear on the border zones of light. 
Mirage when looking outside of a car by night. 

The principles of analysing a dancework proposed in Marko Pejović‘s research ‘‘Four Discursive Points of Dance Practice“ have been used during the 
entirety of the production process.

Bridge of Glances - open space dance performance- Nušićijada 2016. Ivanjica

Bridge symbolizes the meeting place and finding ways to make things happen, to create a relationship out of it and finally fellowship and connection. Bridge lives with nature, but it is designed to win over it and as such is a symbol of the continuing human tendency to skip the natural flows within and around us. The performance presents the story about the relationship between people, their relationship to nature and "bridges" that we all build between us and than protect.



Species




The performance is a result of project concerning the inclusion of 4 young artists in professional contemporary dance context. It focuses on their relationship to their education, contemporary dance, dance institutions, the perception of their future, their inner world, their thoughts, choices and decisions with which they have had to live as well as their own view on what they are offered to consume or deal with in the field of art and media.

Species are co-product, in which choreographer sets the framework and principles, while performers determinate parameters such as text, rhythm, breaks, level of presence and absence. Performers are presenting their relationship to the education system, contemporary dance, institutions, the perception of their future, their inner world, their thoughts, choices and decisions with which they have had to live as well as their own view on what they are offered to consume or deal with in the field of art and media, the lack of prospects, and policies that affect the freedom of their choice. The performance is partly trying to offer a response to the generationally heterogeneous team where various references enter (in) directly and where it is not always clear who is speaking and to whom, where tasks are multidirectional and the answers are mixed. This emphasizes and abolishes specificity and avoids narrative structure. It examines new species, which are construct, and therefore elusive.
