Fičo Balet is an artist-led company founded in 2000 by Goran Bogdanovski and a core group of artistic collaborators and dancers. The name of the company comes from the Slovenian nickname for the Fiat 500, fičo, and the Slovenian word for ballet, balet. The group performs in original and unconventional ways, striving to transform classical and academic dance-styles into inspiring, understandable, and accessible performances enabling new experiences of art. In the frame of the Nomad Dance Academy (launched by the Balkan Dance Network) Fičo Balet produced the Pleskavica Contemporary Dance Festival in June 2010.

Attempting to bring democracy to high art, Fičo Balet also provides an on-going, weekly training to "any body" interested in movement and dance as well as gives workshops and lectures.

Production and performances

Fičo Balet's dance and theatre projects aim to reflect the "emotional landscape of the everyday". Combining playfulness and skill, Fičo Balet redefines dance virtuosity. Since its establishment, Fičo Ballet has created many performances, among the also ones aimed at the younger audiences.

Networking

Fičo Balet has collaborated with the Nomad Dance Academy, specifically for the NOMAD Education Programme 2008 launched by the Balkan Dance Network. This initiative is dedicated to providing practical and theoretical knowledges from the field of performing arts and enabling artistic exchange between 12 emerging contemporary dancers from the Balkans in order to create a network for future artistic collaborations. Other partners include Eks Scena, Croatia; Tala Dance Center, Croatia; Station – Service for Contemporary Dance, Serbia; Lokomotiva – Center for New Initiatives in Arts and Culture, Macedonia; and the Brain Store Project, Bulgaria.

Pleskavica Festival

In June 2010 the company produced a 4-day Pleskavica Festival with two sections: Blow Up with two performances by the established dancer (Ivo Dimchev) and director (Sebastjan Horvat) and Short Cuts with 14 world premières by the emerging artists from the Nomad Dance Academy.

The festival had another iteration in 2011, after which it was subsumed as a part of the CoFestival.
