#27 Residency in Georgia

In the last week of the residency, even more happened than in the previous weeks! Each participant had the opportunity to present what they had been working on during the tree-week residency in Tbilisi. The final week was a time for last rehearsals, performances, presentations, and being an audience member at the Movement, Physical & Dance Theater International Festival. However, the most memorable moment for me from this week was the shared meal - supra - at the curator Levan's home. We all gathered together at one big table filled with delicious Georgian food. We listened to the final toast and received certificates of completion for the creative residency "Dancing Together, again!". It was a wonderfully organized farewell! Thank you, Levan & Luri.

რეზიდენტურის ბოლო კვირაში კიდევ უფრო მეტი მოხდა, ვიდრე წინა კვირებში! თითოეულ მონაწილეს ჰქონდა შესაძლებლობა წარმოედგინა რაზე მუშაობდნენ თბილისში კვირეული რეზიდენციის დროს. ბოლო კვირა იყო ბოლო რეპეტიციების, სპექტაკლების, პრეზენტაციების და მაყურებლის წევრი მოძრაობის, ფიზიკური და ცეკვის თეატრის საერთაშორისო ფესტივალზე. თუმცა, ამ კვირიდან ყველაზე დასამახსოვრებელი მომენტი ჩემთვის იყო კურატორ ლევანის სახლში საერთო კვება - სუფრა. ყველანი ერთად შევიკრიბეთ უგემრიელესი ქართული კერძებით სავსე დიდ სუფრაზე. მოვისმინეთ საბოლოო სადღეგრძელო და მივიღეთ დასრულების სერთიფიკატები შემოქმედებითი რეზიდენციის "ცეკვავენ ერთად, ისევ!". ეს იყო შესანიშნავად ორგანიზებული დამშვიდობება! გმადლობთ, ლევან და ლურს.

#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 ...
