TANEČNO COLLECTIVE
Creative and performative collective
ABOUT US
The artistic collective Tanečno was created in addition to the organization of the festival of the same name, which since 2017 has brought seven years of multi-genre festival of dance and movement to the Orava region. The cooperation of young people dedicated to the art of dance, who were united by joint studies, but especially artistic and human closeness, grew into the creation of a creative and performative collective, which is focused on original work, as well as cooperation with invited creators. The creation of the collective is characterized by multi-genre, inclusion, innovation and an effort to popularize contemporary dance forms. The varied experiences and focus of the team members contribute to diversity and mutual creative inspiration.
As part of the association’s activities, members make use of the experience gained during art studies (SEAD Salzburg, MUK Wien, University of Stavanger, VŠMU, JAMU, KJJB…) and are members of several artistic groups (Farma v jeskyni, MimoOs, Instituinstitut, Artemporis, dNO…), institutions (JAMU, VŠMU, VŠVU) and cooperate with important creators of the Slovak and foreign scenes (Ronda, Oran, Lachky, Šavel, Dočolomansky, Viňarský, Vlčeková, Herich, Burkievičová, Ferienčíková, Poláková, Bobalík, Matejka, Korec, Pregrad…)
Since the creation of the collective association, in cooperation with other choreographers or associations, he has performed several stage works (“YOLT – You Only Live Twice”, “Pass In”, “Strings”, or the composed solo format “Jedinečno”) as well as works in public spaces (“The Urge”, “Passing/Station”, “Streetnutia”). We are currently preparing an expanded version of the work “Passing/Station”, or hapenning in the public space “Dance for Ski lifts“.

“The Urge” SK premiere: 13.04. 2023, Bratislava
The international outdoor performance “The Urge Grows” follows on from the original German project of the German choreographer Ceren Oran “The Urge”. It was created in 2020 during the coronavirus lock-down based on the inner desire of performers to stay in motion, stay in touch and keep creating.
“The Urge” draws inspiration from the frustrating experience of two years of pandemic and isolation, but transforms it together with the dancers into something highly vital, contagious in the best sense of the word, in the sharing of joy, energy, fascination of the moving body, in the intense sharing of the moment here and now in direct contact with the viewer in a public space. Collective trauma and an individual’s reaction to a social crisis is transformed by Oran into choreographic images that combine energetic, synchronous dance passages with individual dancers’ improvised solos. Pulsating electronic music determines the dynamics and changing rhythm of the choreography, the energy of which urgently and uncontrollably spreads directly to the audience. The musical component is complemented by live improvisation of the saxophonist, which increases the tension between the dancers – the crowd and the individual – the musician.

Tanečno collective
Dance for the ski lifts
Performance: Miriam Budzáková, Hana Gallinová, Barbora Michaligová, Silvia Sviteková, Matúš Szeghö, Andrej Štepita
Premiere: 24. march 2024, Ski resort Vrátna – Chleb
“Dance for the ski lifts” is a performative project based on the movement of the body in an unusual space. It is an intervention that aims to bring a different dimension of perception to the stereotype of a skier in a resort. The intention is to break the movement monotony of the ski resort and introduce unusual movement into it, which opens up the possibilities of the space.
In the project, we rely on experience from movement research, which is based on the inspiration of the gömböc body. The body is exceptional with its two equilibrium points – one stable and the other unstable. We are interested in how this phenomenon can be transformed into the body and materialize its essence in a specific movement. The linear flow of the ski lifts could thus complement the regular balancing and movement of the performers, who can create a complete work in the environment of the scenography of snow and sawed-off tree stumps.
