Ukrep - Festival of Dance Perspectives
Programme
The festival focuses on the presentation of emerging dance makers and aims for a strategic development of contemporary dance in Slovenia. Thus far the festival has presented the work of Milan Tomašik, Irena Tomažin, Urška Vohar, Leja Jurišič, Samo Gosarič, Ajda Tomazin, Jan Rozman and Alja Ferjan, Gregor Luštek, Loup Abramovici, etc. The festival closely collaborates with the Seminar of Contemporary Performing Arts, organised by Maska Institute.
The 2010 edition featured a number of lectures/reflections on dramaturgy from different theoreticians and other makers, such as Janez Janša, Jeroen Peeters, and Una Bauer. The 2012 edition focused on addressing the wider audience by bringing the festival's performances and projects into the streets, gardens, and squares, thus touching upon the potentiality of public space and opening up the questions of mapping, social dynamic, social choreography, etc. The 2014 festival was designed as a platform of various dance initiatives by young dance makers, many of them still studying home or abroad, who upgraded their own work by working for three festival days with already established choreographers Gregor Luštek and Eduardo Torroja.
