CoFestival

In May and June 2012 the CoFestival brought together two young contemporary dance festivals, the Ukrep - Festival of Dance Perspectives and PLESkavica Festival, and joined forces with the international Nomad Dance Academy Slovenia to reflect on their contents, positions, and aesthetic stances. The festival takes place at the Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, a member of the European Dancehouse Network, its main theme being The Art of Co-Living.

Based on the principles of cooperation, coworking, participation, and process-oriented work, the festival's programme ranges from performances, works-in-progress, and different workshops to lectures, lecture-performances, discussions and interviews, with plenty other forms of artistic and social gatherings, thus enabling arts professionals to network and share a "coworking" space with makers from their or other fields.

The first edition of the festival took shape largely in the context of cooperation and coworking, and has featured a number of collaborative performances and lecture-performances, improvisations, and open debates, with each day rounded off by a public discussion.

The 2013 edition was held in the months of June and September. Programme highlights included the first public presentation of Jurij Konjar’s piece Still, the show Au Contraire (based on Jean-Luc Godard) by the prize-winning Geneva-based artist Foofwa d“Imobilité, The Seagull directed by Tomi Janežič and produced by Novi Sad Serbian National Theatre. It featured a choreographic workshop by Matej Kejžar and the performance Lil' Dragon by Eric Minh Cuong Castaing, who continued his research of the relationship between the body and the image in collaboration with Cie Shonan and fifteen children from Ljubljana. The programme also included an evening of short dance films and a showing of Wim Wender's Pina.
