THE JURY

Petra Hrašćanec


In the field of performing arts, Petra Hrašćanec is active as a dancer, choreographer and pedagogue. The main point of her interest and education is contemporary dance whereas her works are characterised by a specific use of a host of different media to investigate the body and corporeality. Her threefold role (performer, author and pedagogue) is a result of the artist's unique interest, functional technology of creating a body language on stage and the relationship between the performer and the audience.

Apart from working on many author's projects, Hrašćanec is also an active member of Francesco Scavetta's WEE COMPANY based in Norway. As a choreographer, Hrašćanec creates either as a member of the artistic organization 21:21 (as one of the art directors) or in collaboration with the partnership organisation de_facto and a host of Croatian institutions (&TD Theatre, The Zagreb Youth Theatre, Pogon Jedinstvo, The Zagreb Dance Centre). Since 2013, Hrašćanec is a lecturer and a mentor leading the programme for contemporary dance technique at the Dance Department of the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, Croatia.
