Project summary at CED

Srh/Shiver, at Cankarjev dom in November 2009, choreographed by Matjaž Farič, Flota Institute

Flota is a non-profit cultural institution for organising and producing cultural events, established in 2001 by dancer and choreographer Matjaž Farič. Long a vehicle for Farič's own acclaimed work, Flota also produces performances by choreographers of different generations, among them Rosana Hribrar and Gregor Luštek, Milan Tomašik, Enya Belak, Gašper Kunšek, Žigan Krajnčan, Jan Krmelj, and Ana Cvelfar, among others.

Since 2006, Flota has been organising the Front@ Contemporary Dance Festival in Murska Sobota, contributing to the decentralisation of contemporary dance in Slovenia. Through Beyond Front@ – a project and informal network twice supported by the European Commission – Flota has also developed strong international partnerships.

International cooperation

Beyond Front@

Flota was a founding partner of the Dance Explorations Beyond Front@ project, together with Dance Week Festival organised by the Croatian Institute for Movement and Dance (Zagreb), Pro Progressione (Budapest), d.ID/Dance Identity (Pinkafeld, Austria), and Offenes Haus Oberwart, OHO (Oberwart, Austria). Supported by the European Commission's Culture 2007–2013 programme and the European Cultural Foundation (ECF), the project brought high-quality dance performances to the border regions of Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, and Hungary, fostering artistic dialogue and new cross-cultural co-productions.

Monster Tamer, joint production of the Dance Explorations Beyond Front@ network, 2009

In 2012–2014, a new cycle entitled Beyond Front@: Bridging New Territories, led by the Flota Institute, brought together partner organisations from Austria, Croatia, Hungary, and the United Kingdom (Greenwich Dance). It encouraged cooperation between major urban centres and smaller communities in the region, with contemporary dance as the connecting thread.

In 2003–2005 Flota collaborated with the Swedish organisation Intercult in the international project SEAS, which united artists from more than 15 European countries between the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea.

Flota is also a member of Pan-Adria, a network of eight contemporary dance institutions from the Adriatic, Pannonian, and Alpine regions.
