Že dlje časa smo priča eroziji kritiškega in diskurzivnega prostora, kar je vodilo v občutno zmanjšanje števila piscev_k, teoretikov_čark in strokovnih spremljevalcev_k sodobnega plesa. V zadnjem obdobju je sicer zaznavati ponovni interes za prakse pisanja in izobraževanja na polju kritike, vendar imajo pisci_ke pri tem zelo omejene možnosti zunaj uradnega šolskega sistema (AGRFT) za sistematično nadaljevanje izobraževanja, ki bi jih strokovno podprlo na poti k profesionalizaciji.
Zavod Maska in Društvo za sodobni ples vabimo na večdnevno mednarodno izobraževanje, ki bo potekalo v okviru bienala Gibanica 2025. Izobraževanje je namenjeno poglobljeni nadgradnji gledanja predstav in pisanja ter se bo osredotočilo na teme, metodologije, probleme, (politično) kontekstualizacijo in zgodovino sodobnega plesa pri nas.
𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐛𝐨 𝐯𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐯𝐞𝐣𝐢ć, ki od leta 2000 intenzivno sodeluje, poučuje in objavlja na področju sodobnega plesa in performansa v Evropi. V delavnico bodo vključene krajše intervencije gostujočih teoretikov_čark, urednikov_ic in piscev_sk: 𝐏𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐳𝐚𝐯šč𝐞𝐤 bo predstavila pregled sodobnega plesa v slovenskem prostoru s poudarkom na feminističnih metodologijah, 𝐑𝐨𝐤 𝐕𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐫 pa bo obravnaval različne politične kontekste in njihov odnos do sodobnega plesa. Delavnica vključuje ogled predstav bienala, zato je izobraževanje sestavljeno iz celodnevnega programa. Natančen urnik bodo sprejeti udeleženci prejeli po potrditvi.

Over the recent years, we have witnessed an erosion of critical and discursive spaces that resulted in a significant decrease in the number of writers, theorists, and other professionals in the field of contemporary dance. Despite the renewed interest in the practice of writing and learning in the field of criticism, writers have limited opportunities outside of the official academic system for systematic, in-depth training which can support them on their path to professionalisation.
The Maska Institute and the Contemporary Dance Association of Slovenia invite you to a multi-day international workshop for critics, which will take place within the framework of the Gibanica Biennial in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The workshop aims to deepen the understanding of performance and writing and will focus on disparate topics, methodologies, problems, (political) contextualisation, and the history of contemporary dance.

The full-day workshop programme will include attendance at the Biennial performances. The exact schedule will be sent to the selected participants upon confirmation.
