Iztok Kovač is a choreographer and founder of En–Knap. Following the international success of his solo How I Caught a Falcon (1991), he became one of the key figures in the development of Slovenian contemporary dance. He founded En–Knap Group, Slovenia's first permanent contemporary dance ensemble, and serves as artistic director of both En–Knap and the Španski borci Cultural Centre. His works have toured internationally for more than three decades. Additionally, his artistic practice includes six dance films, international pedagogical work, guest choreography and the direction of major national events in Slovenia. During the Covid period, he initiated Stage360, developing dance works in virtual reality.
Mo/Ten/Tion is dramaturgically conceived as a rhythmical structure composed of ready- made and improvised choreographical parts which are divided into two independent categories. The structure of the dance performance is based on the composition by Uroš Rojko from 1997. The 20-minute long music composition divides the symphonic orchestra in two parts which enables the choreographer to find the starting-point for his choreography as well as to choose the performers.
