En Knap Group RSS feed http://www.en-knap.com Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:06:48 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.en-knap.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=232&Itemid=69   It's the beginning of the new season and consequently the beginning of EnKnapGroup's next new project '10 min South'. Between the 9th and the 20th of August the dancers of EKG went to the Croatian island Olib where they met up with Ivica Buljan, the first of 5 authors involved in creating '10 min South', and began the first process. It was a wonderful place, where time seemed to have a different tempo. There was a strong sense of nostalgia, traditional songs kept alive by the elders, and the "festa" where the whole island comes together to sing and dance for the whole night. "We began to learn a few of these traditional songs and the traditional Olibian dance from the locals as a starting point for Ivica's ten minutes" Below are a few pictures from our time on Olib:'   Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:38:07 +0100 http://www.en-knap.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=229&Itemid=31 S svojo odrsko zrelostjo po triletnih izkušnjah delovanja plesalci EnKnapGroup predstavljajo svojevrsten odrski dogodek, v katerem nas skozi pokrajine in razpoke sodobnega plesa skupaj z njimi hudomušno vodi igralec Miha Brajnik.

 Se še spominjate Strune in Žela, Vrtoglavega Ptiča in Doma Svobode? Vse to je plesna pot Iztoka Kovača, ki se je začela s premagovanjem principov težnosti na robovih trboveljskih dimnikov, nadaljevala z uporabo naključja kot osnovnega kompozicijskega načela ter izostrila v produkcijah skupine EnKnapGroup.

 Dokumentarni odrski dogodek Pozor hud ples! vas na didaktičen način popelje do vprašanj o identiteti gibalnega izraza, iskanju vzgibov za umetniško delo, odkriva skrivnosti kompozicijskih struktur in vloge moškega v svetu plesa. Obenem odpira možnosti, da pobližje spoznate člane mednarodne plesne skupine in poskrbi, da boste v dobri uri prodrli v ozadje zgodovine neke umetniške prakse ter se spomnili njenih presežkov.

The result is an omnibus with a variegated map image of time, through which the dancers of EnKnapGroup travel, and is connected by music blocks from musician Mitja Vrhovnik Smrekar, projections by Nejaaka and Luka Umek, and costumes by Alan Hranitelj.
