Pekinpah Association

ISKRA, Non-Aligned Design: 1946-1990 exhibition

Simultaneously being an organisational vehicle for dancers, designers, architects and musicians, the Pekinpah Association is a rather curious production house. Established in 2007 and based in Ljubljana, its main activities feature contemporary dance production; publishing and presenting theoretical and practical reflections on design; and managing the musical band Silence. The association produces performances and exhibitions, organises lectures and congresses, and publishes research into new media and information practices.

It is an eminently international enterprise in all of these respects, regularly performing, lecturing or collaborating abroad. Among its many activities is the Spider project, not only an annual festival but also a transnational artistic network.

Flota Institute

Srh/Shiver, at Cankarjev dom in November 2009, choreographed by Matjaž Farič, Flota Institute

Flota, a non-profit cultural institution for organising and producing cultural events, was established in 2001 by dancer/choreographer Matjaž Farič. Flota produces performances by choreographers of different generations, such as Matjaž Farič, Rosana Hribrar and Gregor Luštek, Tina Dobaj Eder and Milan Tomašik as well as younger generation choreographers Gašper Kunšek, Žigan Krajnčan, Jan Krmelj and Ana Cvelfar, among others.

Since 2006, Flota organises the Front@ Contemporary Dance Festival, based in Murska Sobota, thus contributing to the decentralisation of contemporary dance in Slovenia. Flota Institute has developed strong international partnerships through Beyond Front@ – a project and informal network twice-supported by the European Commission.
