Established in 1976 by the choreographer Damir Zlatar Frey, one of the pioneers of Slovene dance theatre, Celje Dance Forum has since then run a quality dance education programme, especially intended to children and the young, as well as produced several acclaimed evening-length dance performances, which were presented at home and abroad. In addition, the Celje Dance Forum also organises other cultural events, such as music concerts and guest performances.

Overview

Established as the dance ensemble of Damir Zlatar Frey, the group created in the 70s numerous projects, which were fundamental for the development of Slovene dance theatre (including Metastases [Metastaze] (1977), Triptych [Triptih] (1978), etc.) and received great acclaim. Since 1980, the group has been led by the choreographer, pedagogue, and the Golden Bird Award recipient Goga Stefanovič-Erjavec and has since developed into an important educational centre for contemporary dance, offering classes in contemporary and modern techniques, ballet, yoga, and oriental dances, as well as movement workshops for children, the youth, and adults. Many young dancers begin their education here and then continue their studies at academies abroad, in New York, Salzburg, Brussels, Amsterdam, London, and Vienna. The productions of Celje Dance Forum have been presented internationally and have been awarded prizes.
