Ambientalnost kot živa arhitektura kulture mesta
Festival plesnih perspektiv UKREP se že od leta 2008 ukvarja z razvojnimi strategijami sodobnega plesa v Sloveniji in ukrepa na področjih, ki se zaradi izobraževalnih, produkcijskih, promocijskih idr. deficitov na našem sodobnoplesnem prizorišču kažejo kot pereča.
Tematski fokus letošnjega festivala so lokacijsko posebne uprizoritvene prakse. Metaforično odpiranje proti mestu in meščanom je skupni imenovalec celotnega programa, ki bo spremenil in razdrl kodificirana pravila obnašanja določenih javnih prostorov. Letošnji program festivala ne čaka na občinstvo, temveč mu pristopa na najbolj nekonvencionalnih mestih za umetnost in spreminja kolektivno percepcijo okolice. Vsebina bo naključnemu občinstvu približana tako, da bo dis/re/locirana na pomembna vozlišča mesta. S kolektivnimi intervencijami, ki iznenada vzniknejo na javnih krajih, se lahko vsaj za trenutek povežemo v potencialno drugačnem svetu, kjer lahko sestavimo nova pravila. S tem, ko se plesna umetnost iz plesnih dvoran razširi v javni prostor, pa se poruši tudi zid, ki ga marsikdaj lahko ustvarja vase zaprto umetniško ustvarjanje. Ples tako postane del urbane slike mesta, gibalni izraz iz ambientalnosti črpa neposredni utrip in recipročno na njega spontano in aktivno vpliva. Vzajemnost plesa in javnega okolja postaneta gibanje mesta. Premik v mesto postane premik proti občinstvu. Premik postane gibanje. Gib postane ples. UKREP postane ples mesta. Mesto pa postane soplesalec.
Letos, ko je urbani kontekst pomemben del programskega koncepta festivala, bomo pomen mesta in mestnega okolja odprli tudi geografsko. Program bo namreč realiziran na različnih lokacijah v Mariboru in v Ljubljani. Festival letos zavzema ime RAIL2DANCE4UKREP, saj ga združujemo z zaključkom evropskega projekta Rail2Dance. Predstavili se bodo številni lokalni in mednarodni umetniki (Avstrija, Finska, Švedska, Nemčija, Španija, Južna Koreja).
Ujemite nas in skupaj z nami začrtajte nov plesni zemljevid mesta.
Ambientality as a lively architecture and culture of the city
Since 2008 the Festival of Dance Perspectives UKREP deals with development strategies of contemporary dance in Slovenia and acts on fields that suffer due to educational, productional, promotional or other deficits on our contemporary dance scene.
Focus of this year’s festival are site-specific performative practices.The common ground of the whole programme is a metaphorical opening up towards the city and its’ citizens, that will change and disassemble the codified rules of behaviour in certain public spaces. This year’s festival programme is not waiting for its audience but is approaching it on the most unconventional spaces for art, changing the collective perception of the surroundings. The content will be brought close to the bypassing audiences by dis/re/locating on the most important hubs of the city. By randomly merging collective interventions in public spaces, we can for a moment connect in a potentially different world filled up with new rules. Putting dance art from theatres to alternative outdoor spaces demolishes the problematics that contemporary art is facing by staying enclosed and therefore misunderstood. Dance becomes an urban image of the city since movement is inspired by surrounding ambience and mutually affects the surrounding. Reciprocality of dance and urbanism becomes a movement of the city. A move towards the city becomes a move towards an audience. A move becomes a movement. Movement becomes a dance. UKREP becomes a dance of the city. The city becomes a dance partner.
This year’s urban context of the festival widens up also geographically by offering performances in Maribor and Ljubljana. The conclusion of the European project Rail2Dance coincides with the dates of the festival that is why it carries the name RAIL2DANCE4UKREP. Local and international (Austria, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Spain, South Korea) artists will be presented.
