ARCHIVE MATERIALS OUTSIDE ARCHIVES
Tea Kantoci
Because of the seemingly elusive nature of contemporary dance, the consensus regarding the optimal archiving method doesn’t exist because each of the ways has its limitations. This doesn’t mean we should seek the ‘correct’ archiving method or that there even is such in the first place. In addition to making it possible to safekeep and accumulate information from the domain of contemporary dance, the key definition of archiving is to underline the interpretation of existing and production of new knowledge and art practices.

ANTISEZONA, SOFT RESISTANCE:
NOT ENTIRELY A FESTIVAL, STILL NOT A SEASON.
Dragana Alfirević
Perhaps ANTISEZONA is a single three-day piece in which we sleep, talk, dance and drink together? Perhaps ANTISEZONA is one long workshop – or, after all, a festival, which doesn’t strive to be that and precisely because of that it is even more of a festival, one that changes the idea of a festival? Perhaps the performances of the three authors are a context in which other works take place – or is it the reverse? Or the various works are possibly creating a mutual context and frame, in the co-existence of the multitude?

FRAMING DESIRE:
WOMANE, ENCORE
Ana Fazekaš
Woman’s body is often thought and talked about in metaphors, it is enclosed into representations to be controlled, but it always outgrows them. Metaphor is a veil that hides what is threatening, the abject. Close-ups and Centimetres speak about femininity in endless reflections, not by lifting the veil, but by multiplying it and activating a myriad of veils in dance, the seducing dance of desire, which can be equally soft and devastating, which could, if it wanted, carry away heads on a silver platter.
