Open Dance Scene: Fragments In Motion II • Snježana Premuš: Depth On The Surface

The combined ticket is valid for both events.

FRAGMENTS IN MOTION II – an evening of short choreographic works and dance miniatures
Tuesday, 23 June, 6:17.30 PM, Great Hall – Maribor Puppet Theatre

1. Dance Gallery Maribor
Mojca Ussar: I Am, a short choreographic work

Choreography: Mojca Ussar and dancers
Dancing: Maša Bozovičar, Gaja Đurov Štraus, Nuša Gruden, Eva Medvar, Luša Pečivnik Wutt, Vita Pavšič, Luna Marija Romih, Ula Tomažič, Isabella Belina Valentine

Each dancer carries her own world, her own movement and her own presence. In the process of creation, our worlds meet, intertwine and touch. A part of my creation lives in each of them, and a part of each remains in me. On stage, their differences breathe together and for a moment become one.

Maša Jelen: Passion in my heart
Mia Anžel, Laura Anžel: Always trust your hands

We are drawn to each other like witches to a flame. We gather like storms brewing on the horizon — unpredictable, electric, alive. Community is not a soft place; it is a fire of connection. Community is not comfort — it is ignition. A silent danger that demands that we show ourselves to be real.

SNJEŽANA PREMUŠ: DEPTH ON THE SURFACE
Tuesday, 23. 6., 7:30 p.m., Judgement Tower

… life begins when the line appears …

The author understands a line, a stripe or a meander as a space where the world can be rethought and deconstructed. She seeks metaphors for interweavings, flows and nodes as structures without end and with an internal structure that is temporary and transformative, containing memory and the potential for formation.
This also includes the viewer's view, divided into two spheres: in gallery spaces where it is possible to observe from above, the viewer can observe the painting from a bird's eye view in relation to the bodies from a horizontal perspective.

"We are both, inseparably and simultaneously – made mostly of wet matter, but we also swim in discursive fragments of embodiment as an idea. /…/ The bodies from which we draw and into which we merge, are certainly other human bodies (a lover who can be kissed, a stranger who has been given blood transfusion, baby), but also the sea, the cistern, the underground reservoir, once – rain. (Astrida Niemanis)

In the dance piece FLOOR AND WALLS as the central event, the author is joined by dance artists Anamaria Bagarič, Patricija Crnkovič, Neža Kokalj, and Tajda Podobnik.

The dance event will be complemented by the movement-visual intervention STRAINER AND MEANING, where visitors will be invited to contemplate in the form of "comments".

Hosting in collaboration with the NAGIB Association, Maribor
