#12 Residency in Georgia

Hello, my name is Salome - Dancer, Choreographer, Researcher. I am from Georgia.

I am very happy to be a part of this project. We had the first meeting, where the participants got to know each other, learned who we are, what we do, what is the purpose of participating in this project, etc. I think there are more interesting days ahead.

On June 3, several of us participated in the Khridoli master class, and Ronelli was held with the joint efforts of the Georgian National Dance Federation and Tbilisi City Hall. The master class was conducted by the historian, the president of Khridoli; Martial Arts - Nukri Mchedlishvili. We heard a lot of interesting information related to Georgian martial arts. How Georgian warriors fought in different parts of Georgia - in Svaneti, Racha, Pshav, Khevsureti. We were introduced to different types of combat weapons and had the opportunity to try them all on ourselves.

At the end of the master class, you will be awarded with certificates. We had a pleasant meeting and our guests were very satisfied. I hope that the following activities will be even more interesting for them.

გამარჯობა, მე მქვია სალომე - მოცეკვავე, ქორეოგრაფი, მკვლევარი. მე საქართველოდან ვარ.

ძალიან ბედნიერი ვარ, რომ ამ პროექტის ნაწილი ვარ. ჩვენ გვქონდა პირველი შეხვედრა, სადაც მონაწილეებმა გაიცნეს ერთმანეთი, გაიგეს ვინ ვართ, რას ვაკეთებთ, რა მიზანი აქვს ამ პროექტში მონაწილეობას და ა.შ. ვფიქრობ, წინ კიდევ უფრო საინტერესო დღეები გველის.

3 ივნისს ხრიდოლის მასტერკლასში რამდენიმე ჩვენგანი მივიღეთ მონაწილეობა, რონელი კი საქართველოს ცეკვის ეროვნული ფედერაციისა და თბილისის მერიის ერთობლივი ძალისხმევით გაიმართა. მასტერკლასს უძღვებოდა ისტორიკოსი, ხრიდოლის პრეზიდენტი; საბრძოლო ხელოვნება - ნუკრი მჭედლიშვილი. ქართულ საბრძოლო ხელოვნებასთან დაკავშირებული ბევრი საინტერესო ინფორმაცია მოვისმინეთ. როგორ იბრძოდნენ ქართველი მეომრები საქართველოს სხვადასხვა კუთხეში - სვანეთში, რაჭაში, ფშავში, ხევსურეთში. ჩვენ გავეცანით სხვადასხვა ტიპის საბრძოლო იარაღს და გვქონდა შესაძლებლობა, ეს ყველაფერი საკუთარ თავზე გამოგვეცადა.

მასტერკლასის ბოლოს დაჯილდოვდებით სერტიფიკატებით. სასიამოვნო შეხვედრა გვქონდა და ჩვენი სტუმრები ძალიან კმაყოფილები დარჩნენ. იმედი მაქვს, შემდეგი აქტივობები მათთვის კიდევ უფრო საინტერესო იქნება.

#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 ...

#113 Final presentations in Poland

“In the second half of August at squares and house-yards of Powisle appears the “Puppets by barricade” — a puppet show picturing the reality in a comic manner and bringing joy to inhabitants or the district and to the insurgents”. “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light” - Dumbledore said. And a little corner in the Warsaw Uprising Museum was a great proof of this words. Warsaw was all about remembering this light and I am eternally grateful for it. By Irina Bagauri
