Na knap. Festival kratke plesne forme4.–6. SEP 2025
Španski borci, Ljubljana (SI)
Na knap. Festival kratke plesne forme združuje sodobni ples v raznolikih medijih, zlasti ples na odru, v filmu in virtualni resničnosti. Gibanje – in njegovo dialektično razmerje z negibanjem – je temeljno za ples, na odru, pa tudi za film in za virtualno resničnost kot formo in izkušnjo. Koreografija oz. režija giblje telo na odru, v filmu in virtualni resničnosti, a v filmu in virtualni resničnosti koreografija oz. režija giblje tudi pogled, v virtualni resničnosti pa skozi potopitev v digitalno tehnologijo (samo)koreografija oz. (samo)režija giblje telo in pogled gledalca_ke; zdaj izvajalca_ke. Telo, pogled in gledalec_ka so objekti plesa, ki prehajajo iz enega v drugega, kot prehajajo mediji iz enega v drugega. Če prestopimo institucionalni prag. Festival je zavezan plesu kot formi, a tudi širi ples kot institucijo, ples vznikne v javnem kontekstu in prostoru, najsi bo to kot razstava, intervencija, diskurz, izobraževanje ali skupnost. Dobrodošli v razširjenem polju sodobnega plesa.
V bran kratki formi. Kratka forma, plesna ali ne, se spopada s predsodkom, kot da kratko pomeni površno ali obrobno, kot da je polni, totalni pomen zgolj obsežen ali zapleten. Jedro, simptom, uvid ali paradoks so običajno kratki, nosijo kompleksen, čeprav fragmentaren pomen. Čeprav je festival zavezan kratki formi, omogoča presečno, kompleksno, čeprav fragmentarno, polno, totalno gledanje, ko združuje telo in pogled gledalca_ke v trajanju, ter presečno, kompleksno, čeprav fragmentarno, polno, totalno “branje.” Dobrodošli v razširjenem polju sodobnega plesa.
Ples v javnem kontekstu in prostoru. Festival raziskuje razmerje “Telo identitete, identiteta telesa.” Telo, osebno ali skupnostno, je temeljno za identiteto – in njeno dialektično razmerje z neidentiteto – presečna, kompleksna, čeprav fragmentarna, nikoli polna identiteta se pripisuje ali potrjuje prek telesa, vendar se telo “naravno” giblje onkraj identitete, osebne ali skupnostne, kot neidentiteta, jo veže in se ji izmika, jo označuje, a se označevanju tudi visceralno upira, ima čisto svoje življenje, identiteto (ponovno) vzpostavlja, nikoli polno, čeprav kot polno telo, utelešena ljubezen, varnost, domišljija, rasa, izčrpanost, spol, ekologija, zavrnitev, politika, zgodovina ali ponavljanje. To razmerje je razmerje, ki je prekratko, presežno kratko. Dobrodošli v razširjenem polju sodobnega plesa. Na knap. Presežno kratko.

Na knap. Festival of Short Dance Form
4–6 SEP 2025
Španski borci, Ljubljana (SI)
Na knap. Festival of Short Dance Form brings together contemporary dance across various media, specifically dance on stage, film and in virtual reality. Movement – and its dialectical relation to non-movement – is fundamental to dance, on stage, but also to film and to virtual reality as form and experience. Choreography or direction moves the body on stage, film and in virtual reality, but on film and in virtual reality choreography or direction also moves the gaze, and in virtual reality, through immersion in digital technology, (self)choreography or (self)direction moves the body and the gaze of the spectator; turned performer. The body, the gaze and the spectator are objects of dance crossing over, as media cross over. Over to institutional spill-over. The festival is bound to dance as form, but also expands dance as institution, dance emerges in public context and space, be it as exhibition, intervention, discourse, education or community. Welcome to the expanded field of contemporary dance.
In defence of short form. Short form, dance or not, contends with a bias, as if short were to mean superficial or marginal, as if full, total meaning were only extensive or elaborate. Gist, symptom, insight or paradox tend to be short, they carry complex, though fragmentary meaning. Though bound to short form, the festival allows for an intersecting, complex, though fragmentary, full, total spectating, as it brings together the body and the gaze of the spectator in duration, and an intersecting, complex, though fragmentary, full, total “reading.” Welcome to the expanded field of contemporary dance.
Public context and space. The festival explores the relation “Body of Identity, Identity of Body.” The body, personal or communal, is fundamental to identity – and its dialectical relation to non-identity – intersecting, complex, though fragmentary, never full identity is assigned or affirmed by the body, though, the body “naturally” moves beyond identity, personal or communal, as non-identity, binding it and evading it, signifying it but also resisting signification viscerally, having a life of its own, (re)constituting identity, never full, though as the full body, as embodied love, security, imagination, race, exhaustion, gender, ecology, refusal, politics, history or repetition. The relation is that of falling short, excess short. Welcome to the expanded field of contemporary dance. Na knap. Excess short.
