Fičo Balet

Fičo Ballet is an artist led company founded in 2000 by Goran Bogdanovski and a core group of artistic collaborators and dancers. The group performs in original and unconventional ways, striving to transform classical and academic dance-styles into inspiring, understandable, and accessible performances enabling new experiences of art.

In April 2008, JOHN, premiered at Joyce SOHO, New York City. Fičo Ballet produces also theatre performances aimed at younger audiences.

Fičo Ballet has also collaborated with the Nomad Dance Academy, for the NOMAD Education Programme 2008 launched by the Balkan Dance Network. This initiative is dedicated to providing practical and theoretical knowledges from the field of performing arts and enabling artistic exchange between 12 emerging contemporary dancers from the Balkans in order to create a network for future artistic collaborations. Other partners include Eks Scena, Croatia; Tala Dance Center,Croatia; Station - Service for Contemporary Dance, Serbia; Lokomotiva - Center for New Initiatives in Arts and Culture, Macedonia; and the Brain Store Project, Bulgaria.
