Concept and projects
The three core members of 0.1 bring strikingly different but complementary perspectives to their shared preoccupation with movement: Jernej Bizjak is a contemporary dancer, choreographer and teacher; Sara Živkovič Kranjc, a scriptwriter, dramaturg, and producer; and Klemen Janežič, an actor and director. Together they draw on a wide range of expertise and experience, working with both Slovenian and international artists and collaborating with institutions such as Cankarjev dom, Maribor Puppet Theatre, and Dance Theatre Ljubljana, presenting their work on stages and at festivals at home and abroad.
The Institute launched with two bold debut productions: Torso, performed by Janežič at the Slovenian Railway Museum in Ljubljana and co-produced with UL AGRFT – winning the Academy Prešeren Award – and In the Embrace of a Trigger, or the Road to Point Zero, Bizjak's first self-choreographed work, an intimate exploration of anxiety and powerlessness.
The Institute's commitment to research and interdisciplinarity is perhaps best exemplified by For Ludwig, a project choreographed by Bizjak to mark the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth in 2020, developed in close collaboration with the deaf and hard of hearing community. Through residencies in Denmark, Slovenia, and Switzerland, it evolved into For Ludwig [Rebirth], now fully accessible to both deaf and hearing audiences. Both productions were developed in cooperation with Bora Bora Dance and Visual Theatre in Aarhus, Denmark.

Among Janežič's subsequent works produced by 0.1 is Station Selbstein, co-produced with Flota and Bunker, which premiered in March 2020 – reportedly the last live cultural event in Slovenia before the first Covid-19 lockdown. Another is Process/Prančič (2025), a performative dialogue between image, body, and sound, and a homage to Slovenian painter Ivo Prančič.
Beyond its core members, 0.1 has co-produced work by other dancers and choreographers, including Bojana Robinson and Luka Ostrež, and has ventured into genuinely interdisciplinary territory – merging music, physical theatre, and drama in The Banquet, a Black Ode to the Present (2021) by Tatjana Peršuh, and combining film and physical theatre in Phase (2018) by Sara Živkovič Kranjc.
Developing the field through workshops
The Institute's educational commitment is reflected in a series of intensive workshops held between 2020 and 2023, curated and led by Janežič, Bizjak, and a wide range of Slovenian and international mentors and artists, exploring movement and body expression holistically, with an emphasis on developing creativity and strengthening competencies. The programmes were supported by the Young Dragons Public Institute.
