#60 Residency in Croatia

The third week was a difficult week. Rehearsal of preparations for the show, stress, lack of time, tension. Thanks to the presence of good souls in the form of other dancers who showed support, workshops that reminded us what is most important and hard work, the final of the residency ended with great satisfaction. My etude was very positively received. It's amazing when an attempt to express something or raise an important topic turns out to be successful. There is nothing more important for an artist. If we say something important and it reaches someone's heart, it counts as truth.

Treći tjedan bio je težak tjedan. Probe priprema za predstavu, stres, nedostatak vremena, napetost. Zahvaljujući prisustvu dobrih duša u vidu ostalih plesača koji su nam pružili podršku, radionicama koje su nas podsjetile što je najvažnije i napornom radu, završnica rezidencije završila je s velikim zadovoljstvom. Moja je etida bila vrlo pozitivno primljena. Nevjerojatno je kada se pokušaj da se nešto izrazi ili pokrene važna tema pokaže uspješnim. Ne postoji ništa važnije za umjetnika. Ako kažemo nešto važno i to nekome dopre do srca, to se računa kao istina.

#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
