possible collective body
The project is questioning the term and practice of “local dance community” in Belgrade (Serbia) by artists (Ana Dubljevic, Dusan Brocic, Igor Koruga, Jovana R. Kiselcic, Marko Milic and Ljiljana Tasic) who have been working in the field of contemporary dance and performance in Belgrade and abroad as a new emerging generation of artists gathered around Station Service for Contemporary Dance (www.dancestation.org).
The participants of the project started or developed their artistic practice through the educational programs organized by Station, which purpose was fostering the new generation of dance and performance practitioners, aiming to strengthen local contemporary dance community and make it recognizable. Still, after more than 10 years of struggle (although much has been done) contemporary dance and contemporary performance is not recognized as a relevant art form by most of the local cultural institutions.
In conditions in which the financial support from the state to the artists who works on the independent performing arts scene is symbolical or absent, the collaborations among the artists from the „local dance scene“ are rare. Up until now only few collaborations happened among some of the mentioned artists. They were mostly involved in international collaborations financially supported by European funds. At this moment, it appears as a necessity to work and act together, so that we can share our knowledge, different approaches to the dance as artistic practice and possible recreate modes of production and form a new ways of working inside of the “local dance community” on the independent arts scene in Belgrade.
We will question the term “local dance community” and by working around the signifier, (re)create the signified.
As the country with short history of contemporary dance or with history that yet has to be found and written, many questions are imposed related to the term contemporary dance as well as dance as artistic practice in ex socialist country. Those questions are always related to the dance practitioners in ex socialist context. The thing is how an artist chooses to relate to those. Also, questioning of term community in this same context. Does the collective make community make scene (local)? And does any change of local context affects European or global context and vice versa?
In this project participants will find out differences and similarities in individual approaches to those questions and how can they co-exist in this collective work.
The project will be developed in a several phases during the 2012.
The first phase (January – March) includes discussions about possible development of the project. These discussions are focused at individual motivation and reasons for participation in the project. This phase should establish ways of communication among participants, based on different tools (live meetings, meetings through Skype, e-mail, Titanpad etc.).
The second phase (April - June) includes the work in studio in Belgrade. This includes workshops based on exchange of individual artistic practices and methodologies in collective creative work.
The third phase (four weeks, September). At this phase we will work on articulation of the material produced in previous phases, in collaboration with mentors and consultants and public presentation of work in progress.
Final phase of work (two weeks in October) is finalization of the project and public presentation of work.
