Bgirl Tamala & Bboy Vision: BREAKDANCE

Delavnica bo potekala v slovenščini in angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in Slovenian and English.

SLO:
Na delavnici bo udeležencem predstavljen breakdance ter njegov nastanek in specifike. Originalno ime za ta ples je “bboying ali bgirling”, v zadnjem času pa se uporablja samo “breaking”. Na delavnici bodo udeleženci spoznali osnove in nadgradnje ter se prav tako posvetili muzikalnosti. Največ pozornosti bo namenjene footwork-u in floorwork-u,  ki sta za breaking zelo pomembna, prav tako pa se lahko te elemente prenese tudi v druge plesne stile. Edinstven koncept, ki ga je prinesel breaking v svet plesa je t.i. “battle” ali “plesna bitka”; to je neke vrste dialog s plesnimi gibi, ki bo prav tako predstavljen in prakticiran na delavnici.

ENG:
The workshop will introduce breakdancing and its origins and specifics to participants. The original name for this dance is “bboying or bgirling”, but recently only “breaking” has been used. At the workshop, participants will learn the basics and upgrades and will also focus on musicality. The most attention will be paid to footwork and floorwork, which are very important for breaking, and these elements can also be transferred to other dance styles. A unique concept that breaking brought to the world of dance is the so-called “battle” or “dance battle”; this is a kind of dialogue with dance movements, which will also be presented and practiced at the workshop.

Enya Belak: VIDEO PLESNA DELAVNICA Pespektiva telesa / VIDEO DANCE WORKSHOP Body perspectives

Delavnica bo potekala v slovenščini in angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in Slovenian and English.

SLO:
Delavnica 'Perspektiva telesa' je namenjena vsem, ki jih zanima ples, gib in koreografija v odnosu s kamero. Skupaj bomo raziskovali različne načine gledanja na gibajoče telo ter perspektive, ki jih ponuja koreografija za film. V prvem delu delavnice se bomo posvetili raziskavi koreografije skozi osnovne tehnike filmske montaže. Na osnovi koreografskih sekvenc bomo razvijali ideje za film, pri čemer se bomo osredotočili na postavitev telesa v prostoru v odnosu do kamere. Kamera lahko postane plesalec in soustvarjalec koreografije. Ko postavimo telo pred kamero, oblikujemo in sprejemamo odločitve o tem, kako ga bomo predstavili. Odločamo, kaj bo vidno, kaj bo skrito ali prikrito, kdaj bomo prikazali celo telo in kdaj se bomo osredotočili na določen detajl. Filmi bodo predvajani na predstavitvi delavnic ob koncu plesne poletne šole.

SLO:
Enya Belak je multidisciplinarna umetnica, filmska ustvarjalka in koreografinja, katere delo zajema različne umetniške prakse in discipline, ki se med seboj prepletajo.

Med drugim je prejela nagrado Ksenije Hribar za perspektivno plesalko, nominacijo za Under25 Award za režijo svojega magistrskega filma Luminary ter zlato značko Mete Vidmar.

ENG:
The workshop 'Body Perspective' is intended for anyone interested in dance, movement and choreography in relation to the camera. Together we will explore different ways of looking at the moving body and the perspectives that choreography offers for film. In the first part of the workshop, we will focus on exploring choreography through basic film editing techniques. Based on choreographic sequences, we will develop ideas for a film, focusing on the placement of the body in space in relation to the camera. The camera can become a dancer and co-creator of choreography. When we place the body in front of the camera, we shape and make decisions about how we will present it. We decide what will be visible, what will be hidden or disguised, when we will show the whole body and when we will focus on a specific detail. The films will be screened at the workshop presentation at the end of the Summer Dance School.

ENG:
Enya Belak is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker and choreographer whose work encompasses various artistic practices and disciplines that intertwine.

She choreographed the dance performance ‘Blue Ink’. She adapted the original idea for the performance and directed a dance film in virtual reality. She recently presented the dance-visual performance ‘Revealed Moments’, which she co-created with dancer and choreographer Kristýna Peldovó. Her achievements have been prominently exposed and awarded several times. For her first film ‘Shock Horizontal’, she received the award for best cinematography at the Independent Film Festival in Slovenia. Among other things, she received the Ksenija Hribar Award for Promising Dancer, a nomination for the Under25 Award for directing her master's film Luminary, and the Meta Vidmar Gold Badge.

Sebastian Geč: VOGUING NIGHT OUT *

Delavnica bo potekala v slovenščini in angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in Slovenian and English.

SLO:
Na tej delavnici Voguinga se bomo vrinili v začetke ballrooma. Kako je nastala voguing scena v New york-u od koder je njeno izrazoslovje in kaj pomenijo kategorije na Ball-u. Osredotočili se bomo na runway in njene različice. European runway, american runway in All American runway. Hoja po barveh in modne revije so le inspiracija za tako imenovani ballroom runway. Predznaje ni pomebno je pa možno prinesti s seboj visoke petke in pa odnos do sebe.

SLO:
Sebastijan Geč je sodobni plesalec in koreograf in ima dolgo plesno zgodovino za seboj. Živi in dela na Dunaju od koder je spoznal vogue tehniko in njeno subkulturo. Svojo plesno izobrazbo je pričel pri Plesni izbi v Mariboru od koder je kasneje nadaljeval na SEAD-u v Salzburgu. V svojem repertoarju ima veliko znanja od kontakt-improvizacije do yoge, sodobne plesne tehnike, performance, drag in seveda voguing. Tako se je leta 2009 pridružil kompaniji Cie. Willi Dorner s katero je nastopal po vsem svetu. 2012 je sodeloval z Jerome Bél-om na Dunaju v predstavi The show must go on. Zadnja leta pa sodeluje z priznano kongoleško koreografinjo Elisabeth Bakambamba Tambwe. Svoje lastne koreografske dosežke pa je dokazoval na festivalu Gibanica 2015 in na Platformi istega leta. Zadnja leti se je odločil igrati v umetniških filmih in celovečercih. Zadnji film The mask of Schwarz Löwenbergs v katerem igra, je premiero doživel na Dunaju marca tege leta. Njegovo življenje je polno preobratov v iskanju tistih momentov na katere se lahko vedno spominjamo. Tako ni presenečenje, da se je leta 2015 pridružil, takrat prvič nastali voguing družini Kiki house of Vivi´s. Ta ista skupina je bila prva v Avstriji, katera se je poistovetila z ballroomom in tako je leta kasneje postavila na noge, kar danes imenujemo Voguing scena na Dunaju. Voguing je stil življenja v katerem poizkušaš najti sebe, svojo pravo podobo in ne tisto katera ti je bila dana. Izraz je življenje.

Delavnica bo potekala v slovenščini in angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in Slovenian and English.

SLO:
Ura bo posredovala principe hatha joge, bodyworka in različnih somatskih praks.  Namen je podpirati vadeče za preostanek dneva in jih pripraviti na enostavno in lahkotno izvajanje drugih praks. Poudarek je na razumevanju funkcionalnosti asan kot tudi na porazdelitvi energije, mehkobe in moči kot kvaliteti ter pogleda kot notranjega in zunanjega objektiva. Delali bomo na dinamičnih sekvencah ter se poglobili v posamezne položaje in delali v parih. Vadba namerava vaditi veselje in igrivost.

SLO:
Maja Kalafatić (1984, Celje), samozaposlena v kulturi, je plesalka, koreografinja, pedagoginja in učiteljica joge, ki živi in ustvarja med Slovenijo, Finsko in Srbijo. Leta 2006 je diplomirala na salzburški eksperimentalni akademiji plesa SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy Of Dance). Magistrirala je na dveh univerzah, leta 2015 na Univerzi za glasbo in ples v Kölnu HfMT (Univerza za glasbo in ples Köln) na področju plesne diseminacije in leta 2023 na Univerzi za umetnost Helsinki (Uniarts) iz plesnega performansa. Trenutno nadaljuje z izobraževanjem na doktorskem študiju Transdisciplinarnih umetnosti in medijev v Beogradu.
Kot plesalka in koreografinja je sodelovala s številnimi domačimi in tujimi ustvarjalci in ustvarjalkami. Leta 2015 je s soavtorico predstave Betwixt, Mario De Dueñas Lopez / DG Collective nastopila na bienalu slovenske sodobne plesne umetnosti Gibanica.
Njeno delo temelji na plesnem ustvarjanju, vendar posega v različne smeri in perspektive, kot sta socialna koreografija in aktivizem. Tesno je povezana z vizualno umetnostjo in rada združuje teorijo in prakso sodobnega plesa. Deluje interdisciplinarno in pozornost usmerja v nove formate sodelovanja in plesnega izvajanja. Med pomembnimi aspekti njenega dela je distribucija plesa zunaj plesno-gledališkega konteksta in vključitev lokalne skupnosti v umetniške procese. Je članica kolektiva Bunch of Scrumps (skupaj z Jacqueline Aylward in Jesse Ojajärvi), ki ustvarja eksperimentalne plesne in glasbene performanse.
Deluje na področju giba, koreografije, gledališča ter vstopa v področje teorije. Vrsto let poučuje v polju sodobnega plesa, joge in se ukvarja z izvedbo in organizacijo delavnic za otroke in odrasle.

ENG:
This class conveys the principles of hatha yoga, bodywork, and different somatic practices. It aims to support the practitioners for the rest of the day and prepare them to perform any other practice easily and smoothly. The focus is on understanding the functionality of asanas as well as the distribution of energy, softness and strength as qualities and gaze as an inner and outer objective. We will work on dynamic sequences as we delve into individual positions and work in pairs. The practice intends to practice joy and playfulness.

ENG:
Maja Kalafatić (1984, Celje), self-employed in culture, is a dancer, choreographer, pedagogue and yoga teacher who lives and works between Slovenia, Finland and Serbia.

She is closely connected to visual art and likes to combine the theory and practice of contemporary dance. She works interdisciplinary and focuses on new formats of collaboration and dance performance. Among the important aspects of her work is the distribution of dance outside the dance-theatre context and the inclusion of the local community in artistic processes. She is a member of the collective Bunch of Scrumps (together with Jacqueline Aylward and Jesse Ojajärvi), which creates experimental dance and music performances.
She works in the field of movement, choreography, theatre and enters the field of theory. She has been teaching in the field of contemporary dance, yoga for many years and is involved in the implementation and organization of workshops for children and adults.

Maja Kalafatić: SODOBNI PLES / CONTEMPORARY DANCE III

Delavnica bo potekala v slovenščini in angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in Slovenian and English.

SLO:
Cilj ure je locirati težo, domišljijo in performativnost giba. Delali bomo na artikulaciji telesa in odnosu do prostora v in izven telesa. Praksa temelji floor worku, release tehniki in somatskih principih. Osredotočili se bomo na različe sekvence, preko katerih bomo delali na kvaliteti fluidnosti. Poseben poudarek je na muzikalnosti in izvedbi plesno-gibalnega materiala. Spraševali se bomo o pojmovanju veščine in razumevanju, kako se gibalna veščina preoblikuje v performativni izraz.

ENG:
The class aims to identify the weight, imagination and performativity of the movement. We will work on the articulation of the body and the relation towards the space in and out of the body. The practice is informed by floor work, release techniques and somatic principles. We will focus on different sequences through which we will work on the quality of fluidity. Particular emphasis is on the musicality and performance of the dance/movement material. We will question the notion of skill and understanding of how the movement skill transforms into performative expression.

Together we will create a safe and inspiring environment to explore your own dancing body through rhythm!

Paula Zacharias: A dialogue between Aleksander technique & Material for the spine *

Delavnica bo potekala v angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in English.

ENG:
Paula Zacharias is Alexander Technique teacher (graduated from ETABA 2014) and dance improvisation and composition. Bachelor in Communication Sciences (UBA), photographer, videographer and dancer. Trained in contemporary dance, Butoh and Contact Improvisation. She teaches Alexander Technique applied to movement, improvisation and scenic composition inspired by Lisa Nelson’s Tuning Scores (TS) method. She collaborates in research and production with artists such as Andrew Harwood, Lisa Nelson, Chris Aiken, Benno Voohrman, Ko Murobushi, Rhea Volij, Minako Seki, Yuko Kaseki, Natalia Tencer, Lucas Condro, Carmen Pereiro Numer among others. She participates in residencies and festivals for training, teaching and performance programs, touring internationally between Europe and South America. She is part of the organizing team of Eimcila 2012 -BsAs and 2013 Gamboa- Brazil. Co-directs the Contact Cuba Festival since 2018. She is part of the creation and research group Sus Derivas, which won the FNA 2021 training grant for somatic studies of Rabine and Feldendrais method, focused on research on movement, voice and performance. Paula’s work will focus on the opening towards the visual and sensory field of perception towards improvisation from the approach to the practice of Tuning Scores (created by choreographer Lisa Nelson): A system of communication and editing of movement in real me that allow to establish a relationship of observation and composition between the action and the attention of movement - including in this relationship the sensory fields that are involved as parts of the sense of organization between image, sound, perception, attention and imagination. The scores offer tools and practices of internal and external communication that highlight the ways in which each of us feels, sees and makes sense of movement.

Paula Zacharias: Contact Improvisation and Tunning scores II

Delavnica bo potekala v angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in English.

ENG:
The workshop is designed to immerse participants in the practice of Tuning Scores (practice created by Lisa Nelson). This investigation will explore two complementary approaches to improvisation and composition. The sensory field of perception, which awakens and “tunes” the imagination, towards improvisation and the language of these scores that allow tuning the senses in relation to their habits of survival, imagination, memory and their relationships between me, rhythm, space and composition.
