Held biennially since 2003, the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Biennial of Slovenian Contemporary Dance Art is a competitive contemporary dance festival that aims to offer an overview of the most outstanding Slovenian contemporary dance performances of the preceding two years. The Contemporary Dance Association Slovenia manages the festival in cooperation with a network of partners.

The festival’s name is a pun on the Slovenian verb for moving (gibati) and a traditional Slovenian pastry (gibanica), which varies from region to region.


Programme and organisation

The festival aspires to present the diversity of the Slovenian dance scene to the local and international audiences. Presented at various venues in Ljubljana, it embraces a range of dance forms from "pure" to "hybrid", including works of both the established generation as well as pieces by newcomers who are just beginning to make their mark on the dance scene. The main programme features around 12 shows by selected Slovenian dance producers, which compete for the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance Award – one is selected by the audience and the other by an international jury. Several performances are presented in the side programme, which also includes discussions and round tables taking a critical look at the Slovenian dance scene, and occasionally workshops and/or exhibitions. Numerous international dance critics, festival directors and producers attend the festival.

The programme is selected by an international team of dance experts and/or artists, who choose from over 50 applied productions.

The Ksenija Hribar Awards, bestowed by the Contemporary Dance Association Slovenia, are also presented at the platform's closing event.
