Emanat, Institute for the Affirmation and Development of Dance and Contemporary Art, aims to gain recognition for contemporary dance through stage production, dance education, and publishing activity. Most recently, Emanat has produced the multimedia performance Ways of Love and published a Slovenian translation of the book Volatile Bodies by the acclaimed feminist author Elizabeth Grosz.

Established in 2006 by Maja Delak, Emanat aims to produce innovative works that develop their own artistic procedures and codes of work and stimulate artistic exchange. So far, Emanat has produced a wide range of performances, including the extremely successful dance-theatre performance Expensive Darlings [Drage, drage] (2007), choreographed by Delak, which problematises the status of contemporary dance in Slovenia and the larger production Serata Artistica Giovanille, inspired by the Futurist event by Ferdo Delak from 1926. In its productions, Emanat often collaborates with the City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts (HI-RES, Expensive Darlings, Sugar Rush). Emanat also produces works by emerging authors of contemporary dance, such as Matija Ferlin, Urška Vohar, etc. In 2009, Emanat co-produced with Tanzquartier Wien and Siemens Arts Programme an ad-hoc theatre project by the Belgian director Marijs Boulougne Marzipan or Plexi and produced the project Sugar Rush, which was supported by the European Cultural Foundation.

Emanat also manages the AGON programme (previously managed by En-Knap Dance Group), an informal training programme for education, research, and self-development in the performing arts held in Ljubljana and led by Maja Delak, an experienced arts educator. AGON programme has offered several high-quality dance workshops, led by Lisa Nelson, Mark Tompkins and Nuno Rebelo, David Zambrano, Martin Kilvady, and others, as well as dramaturgy workshops, given by Mark Franko, Katja Praznik, and Igor Dobričić.

Emanat's small, but interesting, publishing programme aims to publish original and translated works that inform or connect with the field of performing arts. It includes Slovenian translations of books such as The Ignorant Schoolmaster by Jacques Ranciere, Touching Feeling by Eve Sedgwick, Ways of Seeing by John Berger, Crave by Sarah Kane, as well as other titles relating to different aspects of contemporary dance.
