#54 Residency in Croatia

Week three had very mixed feelings for me. It looked like it was almost ending, though we had a lot of work to do and the tension of presenting the works would hit its maximum temperature, which it definitely did. At the end of the week, moving to the HKD stage changed the total picture of our work and the routine. It became more quiet, concentrated and in high spirits, while feeling the emotional sentiments inside of each artist, the feeling which silently spoke about the devotion and the pure desire of making, showing and transporting the best of each one’s creations, greet and please the audience, in a manner firstly imagined and worked for. So all of this took its well deserved place on the Friday and Saturday night’s shows. It draws all of us even closer, as a group, as members of one whole artistic project, a true team, supporting and literally helping one another in every little step of the detailing. It was truly an unbelievably warm period to have gone through, a very cherished moment, to me personally, as to the human being, and as well as to the artist, sharing the life period and the stage with the sweetest spirits in my lovable team. Best of luck to all my fellows. I fell in love with each and every one of them. 

Hvala Croatia!

Treći tjedan imao je vrlo pomiješane osjećaje prema meni. Činilo se kao da je pri kraju, iako smo imali puno posla i napetost prezentacije radova dosegnula bi maksimalnu temperaturu, što se definitivno i dogodilo. Krajem tjedna prelazak na pozornicu HKD-a promijenio je ukupnu sliku našeg rada i rutinu. Postao je tiši, koncentriraniji i raspoloženiji, osjećajući emotivne osjećaje unutar svakog umjetnika, osjećaj koji je tiho govorio o predanosti i čistoj želji da se napravi, pokaže i prenese ono najbolje od svačije kreacije, pozdravi i zadovolji publiku, na način koji je prvotno zamišljen i za koji se radilo. Tako je sve ovo zauzelo svoje zasluženo mjesto u emisijama petkom i subotom navečer. To nas sve još više zbližava, kao grupu, kao članove jednog cjelovitog umjetničkog projekta, pravi tim, podržavajući i doslovno pomažući jedni drugima u svakom malom koraku detaljiranja. Bilo je to doista nevjerojatno toplo razdoblje kroz koje sam prošao, vrlo cijenjen trenutak, meni osobno, kao ljudskom biću, ali i umjetniku, dijeleći životno razdoblje i pozornicu s najslađim duhovima u mom dragom timu . Puno sreće svim mojim kolegama. Zaljubila sam se u svakoga od njih.

Hvala Hrvatska!

#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 ...
