#64 Residency in Croatia

Second week started with an introduction to dance film making by Selena Beram, trans medial dramaturgist who gave new and fresh insight on how to approach dance dramaturgy and make dance videos.  We learned how to make a logline, one sentence description of a movie. Logline distils the important elements of a dance movie, main characters, setup, central conflict, or antagonist into clear concise teaser. We also exchange information about useful free applications for video editing and arrange help to the people that were interested to use video in their residency but have no experience in it. Therefore, I asked Nina And Selena to help me with that. Rest of the week to workshop and rehearsals. Claudia and Giulia addressing body weight. Then we had a two day workshop with Gabriella Stazio who brought us some of the Laban principles but through the perspective of modern choreographers she worked with. The week ended with Kamil workshop in which he used a combination of light exercises and tasks that made body fluid and free and ended with the massage we all needed after a busy week. Besides workshops we used all the other time for rehearsals, and I finally got my camera and started shooting under the water. It was a very busy week and we all used Sunday to relax and try to finish our work.

Drugi tjedan započeo je uvodom u snimanje plesnih filmova od strane Selene Beram, transmedijske dramaturginje koja je dala novi i svježi uvid u to kako pristupiti plesnoj dramaturgiji i snimati plesne videe. Naučili smo kako napraviti logline, opis filma u jednoj rečenici. Logline destilira važne elemente plesnog filma, glavne likove, postavu, središnji sukob ili antagonista u jasnu sažetu zadirku. Također razmjenjujemo informacije o korisnim besplatnim aplikacijama za uređivanje videa i organiziramo pomoć osobama koje su bile zainteresirane za korištenje videa u svom domu, ali nemaju iskustva u tome. Stoga sam zamolio Ninu i Selenu da mi pomognu u tome. Ostatak tjedna za radionice i probe. Claudia i Giulia govore o tjelesnoj težini. Zatim smo imali dvodnevnu radionicu s Gabriellom Stazio koja nam je donijela neke od Labanovih principa, ali kroz perspektivu modernih koreografa s kojima je radila. Tjedan je završio Kamil radionicom u kojoj je kombinacijom laganih vježbi i zadataka koji su tijelo učinili fluidnim i slobodnim te završila masažom koja nam je svima bila potrebna nakon napornog tjedna. Osim radionica, sve ostalo vrijeme koristili smo za probe, a ja sam napokon nabavio fotoaparat i počeo snimati pod vodom. Bio je to vrlo naporan tjedan i svi smo nedjelju iskoristili da se opustimo i pokušamo završiti svoj posao.

#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 ...
