Projects
As its first project, Federacija presented the exhibition Project Darinka Novak, which featured documentary materials of events (interactive installations) that actually never took place. Darinka Novak was a performative project spanning a period of three years (2007–2010) which analysed the socio-political context and personal motives that allow or prevent the development of certain forms of artistic expression through various actions, workshops, discussions, and meetings. Within the frame of the project, in 2007 and 2008 OPS! organised a series of discussions, lectures, and performances on new Slovene dance, called U3P which took place in Celica Hostel. Darinka Novak was concluded with a publication published by Federacija entitled The Book [Knjiga], which included documentation about this performative event and other contributions. The exhibition was co-produced by Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture and Aksioma Institute.
The year 2011 has been marked by Gregor Kamnikar's collaboration with Slovene-based Japanese artist Ryuzo Fukuhara. In February the two toured Japan as part of the longterm project Ecollectiv [Tkolektivnos] which examines improvisation in art and everyday life. In March and April 2011 Federacija presented the project 39 Exercises for Dying, a series of 39 dance performances by the 39-year-old dance artist Gregor Kamnikar, each lasting 39 minutes. The project was conceived as a farewell to the artist and his artistic identity.
The Orchestra of Invented Instruments project was conceived by the musicians Peter Kus and Andrej Žibert who play a number of different original musical instruments produced out of recycled materials and everyday objects.
Activity of OPS!
Gregor Kamnikar has collaborated as a choreographer with Dance Studio Intakt, Intima Virtual Base, Drama Theatre Pazardžik and Theatre of New Forms (Bulgaria) since 1990. OPS! has produced several dance/physical theatre performances in Kamnikar's choreography, for example, Open from to (Commoveo 0.3.1) [Odprto od do (Commoveo 0.3.1)], which was presented several times in Croatia and at the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance in 2009, as well as performances of works by some other choreographers (Cocoon [Kokon] (2002) and Lalabaj (2003) by Nataša Tovirac).
In March 2003 OPS! produced the Touch of Dutch Festival at Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre in collaboration with Theatre in a Suitcase from Bulgaria and Max Wagener Stichting from Amsterdam. In 2005 OPS! collaborated as a co-producer in the international project Julie!, a physical adaptation of Strindberg’s classic piece, together with Theatre Giljotin, Stockholm, and the ProRodopi Foundation, Bulgaria. During 2006–2007 OPS! developed a special project at Tovarna Rog using contempoary dance as a base of experimentation and research in physical intelligence, resulting in trainings, lectures, jam-sessions and interactive performances.
OPS! also co-produced the puppet performance/concert Voice [Glas], produced by Priden Možic Cultural Association. In addition it produced two puppet performances by the composer and musician Peter Kus, namely Tristan Vox (2006) and The King Hearkens [Kralj prisluškuje], based on the story by Italo Calvino. This performance was co-produced by Cankarjev dom and has appeared in numerous home and international festivals, such as Welser Figurentheaterfestival, Austria; Festival of Children's Theatres, Serbia; and the 2009 Slovene Puppetry Biennial, where it has received awards for animation, original concept, and puppet technique.
