PLES ČISTO ZARES: PREDPREDNOVOLETNI LO-FI PLESNI MARATON
Center kulture Španski borci
24 ur od 29.12.2024 ob 10h do 30.12.2024 ob 10h
Ples čisto zares: predprednovoletni lo-fi plesni maraton se je rodil iz zanimanja za umetniška dela kolegov, iz potrebe po soočanju različnih umetniških (plesnih) izrazov in da bi skupaj videli, kaj lahko nastane iz tega dialoga. Naš prvi maraton je potekal 24 ur v zadnjih dneh decembra (29.12.-30.12.) v CK Španski borci. Večina povabljenih umetnikov je bila iz Slovenije, nekaj pa tudi iz drugih evropskih držav (Nemčija, Švedska, Francija, Srbija, Avstrija) ter trije iz Kanade. Maraton so kurirali in organizirali Jana Jevtović, Bojana Robinson in DISKOlektiv.

Dogodek je bil zasnovan kot zaporedje 30 plesnih in koreografskih prispevkov, ki so različno dolgo trajali – nekateri so bili kratki 15 minut, nekateri pa 2 uri – in so se zgodili v okviru 24ih ur na isti lokaciji. Na maratonu je sodelovalo več kot 35 umetnic in umetnikov z raznolikimi predlogi. Nekateri so delili že izdelane predstave ali njih dele, nekateri so pokazali del procesa, drugi so predstavili svoje umetniške raziskave, pa najnovejšo knjigo, tretji spet so samo za ta dogodek preoblikovali kako že starejše delo, spet četrti so se pojavili s svojimi plesnimi predlogi sem ter tja, tu in tam, čez dan in noč. Dela so bila predstavljena v različnih prostorih CK Španski borci, med drugim na velikem odru/dvorani, malem odru, v galeriji, po hodnikih, v baru.

Maraton je bil namenjen skupnemu preživljanju časa ob naših raznolikih plesnih praksah: da ples delimo drug z drugim, se o njem pogovarjamo, prav bohotno počivamo in se strumno poslovimo od 2024.

CHOREOGRAPHIC TURNDANCE LIKE NOBODY’S WATCHING: NEW YEAR’S EVE EVE LO - FI MARATHON
Španski Borci Cultural Centre
24 hours, from 29 December 2024 at 10:00 to 30 December 2024 at 10:00
 Dance Like Nobody’s Watching: New Year’s Eve Eve Lo-Fi Marathon was born out of an interest in the artistic work of colleagues, from a need to confront different dance expressions, and from the desire to see together what might emerge from such a dialogue. Our first marathon took place over 24 hours in the final days of December at the Španski Borci Cultural Centre. Most of the invited artists were from Slovenia, with several coming from other European countries (Germany, Sweden, France, Serbia, Austria), as well as three from Canada. The marathon was curated and organized by Jana Jevtović, Bojana Robinson, and DISKOlektiv.

The event was conceived as a sequence of 30 dance and choreographic contributions of varying durations – some as short as 15 minutes, others lasting up to 2 hours – unfolding over the course of 24 hours at a single location. More than 35 artists took part in the marathon with a wide range of proposals. Some shared finished performances or excerpts from them; others presented parts of their working process; some introduced their artistic research or a newly published book; others adapted an older work specifically for this occasion; and still others appeared intermittently with dance propositions throughout the day and night. The works were presented in various spaces of the Španski Borci Cultural Centre, including the main stage, the studios, the gallery, the corridors, and the bar.

The marathon was intended as a space for spending time together through our diverse dance practices: to share dance with one another, to talk about it, to rest generously, and to bid a collective farewell to 2024.
