Background
KUD Samosvoj (in English: "idiosyncratic") was established by the dancer and choreographer Bara Kolenc, choreographer and light designer Borut Bučinel, and the band Melodrom in 1999. Kolenc's choreographic debut was White [Bela] (1999), followed by five performances including Gargoyle [Razobraz], Abyss [Brezdno], Incisio Rubida, which was co-produced by Cankarjev dom, and Memoars [Memoari] (2006). Borut Bučinel's productions included Winter Tale [Zimska pravljica] (2004), Strange Are the Ways of God [Čudna so pota gospodova] (2005), which was co-produced with KUD Pozitiv Cultural Association, and the performance piece Lunatic [Lunatik] (2007). Melodrom has produced the music for performances and Borut Bučinel has created the light design and stage sets for several Kolenc's performances. Their work has been presented in Italy, Austria, Germany, Armenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia, at festivals such as Teatarfest (Bosnia and Herzegovina), AvanGrad 2007 (Serbia), Highfest 2007 (Armenia), and at the [[Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance]. During first decade KUD Samosvoj worked also with Katalena band, and Miusow Quartet, they organised also dance, theatre, and vocal workshops, led by Kolenc, Bučinel, and Irena Tomažin.
