Snježana Premuš: RELATION AS ARCHITECTURE

Kibla's production in 2009 will be developing towards movement and dance events that research the possibility of dialogue, integration and use of responsive technology. The central players of 2009 projects will be three dancers and choreographers: Snježana Premuš in "Relation as architecture", Mojca Kasjak in "Digital Commune" and Edward Clug in "Hallerstein".

The first dance-improvisation-discussion event in the cycle of four evenings was "Relation as architecture" by the choreographer Snježana Premuš taking place on Friday 13th February at 8 pm in Kibla Multimedia Centre within sensory installation of CIANT digital lab from Prague. Dance improvisers at this event were Snježana Premuš, who initiated the series of events, and Nina Milin. The discussion was hosted by Andreja Kopač.

CIANT established digital technology as the framework for the first trial of a dance improvisation event, which was first performed without the technology and then with the sensory system. In the course of the evening, CIANT grou also provided a detailed presentation of the system.

"Relation as architecture" will present renowned Slovenian dancers active at home and in international environment. The focus will be on the interaction of the dynamic and the structural as well as the role of discursive rules with regard to external circumstances and to the basic idea or inspiration. To this end each event will be followed by an improvised discussion between the artists and the audience.

"An improviser in space is also the virtuoso of the moment, in which they recognise internal desires and intentions of the co-improviser as well as external circumstances, which they realise through decisions or movement actions. At the same time they recognise the integration of art and life as well as the balance and articulation of external circumstances, which they must take in consideration during the performance - but not at the expense of their own idea or inspiration."
