Background
Performa has a long tradition of setting up performance art (often in hybrid forms, featuring theatre, visual and media art, literature, and music) in Maribor, its first edition taking place in 1993. It used to be known for its unconventional, for many even shocking, multimedia and performing approaches and forms.
The Contemporary dance Platform grew out of the need to continually stage and promote the work of younger Slovene dance makers and was closely linked to the education programmes of the Maribor Dance Room. In 2010 the festival expanded its programme to include professional contemporary dance production, thus becoming a presentation of national and international makers in the field of contemporary dance art.
In 2014 the festivals joined forces, thus overcoming the issue of diminishing public funding and enabling both festivals to continue setting up a strong international programme.
Programme
Performa's programme offers performances, video projections and installations, re-articulations of historical performance art events, premières of video-performances, lecture performances, street performances, installations, multimedia, literary, and music performances, and discussions with artists and cultural theorists. The often hybrid art forms are frequently presented in non-institutionalised venues and unconventional spaces.
Contemporary Dance Platform is engaged in presenting different approaches to dance, as practised both in Slovenia and abroad. Is is showing works of the already established as well as upcoming artists. It aims to detect what connects and defines the national dance scene, and tries to reflect on the obstacles that stand in the way of the development of contemporary dance.
Platform regularly organises festival workshops and artists' laboratories by guest choreographers and dancers, exploring new perspectives, ways, and approaches to making dance.
