#5 Residency in Georgia

This is only the beginning.  I feel it, I feel that there is something more important and deeper than other things. I feel the space around me, the warm air, the trees and the scent of flowers. The people of Georgia have a kind of beauty that attracts me; as a dancer, choreographer, creator, this connection is one of the best inspirations an artist can have.

This residency began a summer of gestures and intentions, of eyes melting into the connection between two bodies. What I felt immediately after meeting and discussing with the. Dancer with whom I will have the pleasure of creating a duo during the residency. 

Thanks to this opportunity that allowed us to do this and allowed our bodies to get to know each other as only art can unite. The world in which we live is full of injustices, misunderstandings, and pains of the soul that an artist with feet and a pair of shoes tells through dance.  

Very happy and eager to continue the collaboration and connection and make it a writing between two human beings.  

I enclose a hug.

Ეს მხოლოდ დასაწყისია. ვგრძნობ ამას, ვგრძნობ, რომ არის რაღაც უფრო მნიშვნელოვანი და ღრმა, ვიდრე სხვა რამ. ვგრძნობ ჩემს ირგვლივ სივრცეს, თბილ ჰაერს, ხეებს და ყვავილების სურნელს. საქართველოს ხალხს ისეთი სილამაზე აქვს, რომელიც მიზიდავს; როგორც მოცეკვავეს, ქორეოგრაფს, შემოქმედს, ეს კავშირი ერთ-ერთი საუკეთესო შთაგონებაა, რომელიც შეიძლება ჰქონდეს ხელოვანს.

ამ რეზიდენციაში დაიწყო ჟესტებისა და განზრახვების ზაფხული, თვალების დნობა ორ სხეულს შორის კავშირში. რასაც ვიგრძენი მასთან შეხვედრისა და განხილვისთანავე. მოცეკვავე, რომელთანაც რეზიდენტურის პერიოდში მექნება დუეტის შექმნის სიამოვნება.

ამ შესაძლებლობის წყალობით, რომელმაც ამის საშუალება მოგვცა და ჩვენს სხეულებს საშუალება მისცა გაეცნოთ ერთმანეთი, რადგან მხოლოდ ხელოვნებას შეუძლია გაერთიანება. სამყარო, რომელშიც ჩვენ ვცხოვრობთ, სავსეა უსამართლობით, გაუგებრობებით და სულის ტკივილებით, რასაც ცეკვის საშუალებით ყვება ხელოვანი ფეხებით და ფეხსაცმლით.

ძალიან ბედნიერი და მონდომებული ვარ გავაგრძელო თანამშრომლობა და კავშირი და ვაქციო ის ნაწერად ორ ადამიანს შორის.

ჩახუტებას ვამაგრებ.

#112 Final presentations in Poland

DTA residency will stay for me as one of the unforgettable projects, the experience and impact it has left on me, will follow me for many years. Now let’s circle back and let me tell you all the details I find interesting within this final presentation's 10 days residency. Once we all arrived in Warsaw, Poland, we all together had a big meet up in the hotel to receive our accommodation keys and to get city transportation tickets, for us to make it easier to travel independently. Seeing our friends from previous residency was surprisingly overwhelming and we felt lucky & thankful that we met each other again within the project! The accommodation itself was really nice & clean, even though the space was small it was perfectly suitable for a solo traveler. Together with tickets we also have received vouchers from local stores to buy ourselves dinner products and vouchers for the local bakery downstairs, which was nice for breakfast/brunch options. After one day to rest and res...

#127 Final presentations in Poland

Re-connecting in final residency in Warsaw It was a great opportunity for me to be a part of dance residency EU Project "Dancing together again" and to connect to other colleagues from participating countries, first in Napoli, then finally meeting all colleagues in Warsaw who have participated in previous residencies in Tbilisi, Rijeka and Napoli. I am very grateful to be able to participate in this project as the residencies were a rare opportunity for me to be able to focus only on dance artistic process, without needing to take care of other everyday duties. The weather in Warsaw was much cooler than in my hometown Zagreb during summer, which I really liked. However, this time it affected me in such a way that after the first few days of residency I got sick with a high fever and was forced to spend a few days in my room before I recovered. This unexpected situation allowed me enough space to process all the new information about first impressions of Warsaw residency on ...
