All day running around

First a morning book launch, for a project I took the photos (none are in the book though) and I proof-read the book. 

A workshop in the afternoon, 

and a performance in the evening (does this man never rest?)

 

Day 3 of Choreohraphic Turn #9

 Still continuing with our research. Not taking that many photos as I am participating in a different way for a change. Getting more involved in the various research processes along the way. 

Choreohraphic Turn #9: To Operate Together (day 1)

 

I was really looking forward for this to start and this is only day 1. Let's see what will develop through the week.

A gallery walkabout

 

Today a couple of my friends and I ventured on a gallery expedition. First we visited Klavdij Sluban's photographic exhibition in Gallery Jakopič.

 Then we ventured to Cankarjev dom to see Maria Lassnig's drawings and paintings.

When we continued on our way to the third gallery we came across a friendly dinosaur. 

After seeing the third exhibition of the day, we decided to have some lunch, so we ended our expedition.  

A day of literature workshops and readings

 

We all (people who live in Slovenia, but do not write in Slovene) gathered in Nova Gorica for a day of workshops and reading of our stuff (and me of course also taking photos).

(And just to show you all that I also read some of my poems, here is a photo taken by somebody else (with my camera) while I was reading - as you know, other people's photos do usually not feature on my blog (I think this is the second time this has happened, both times with me on the photo)

Lian Sing

 

presenting the Slovene translation of her book of poetry. She even read a bit in Slovene. Unfortunately there were not a lot of us there.  

Soap Opera

 

but not Eastenders, nor Coronation Street. I wonder if there will be half hour performances every weekday now ;)

Dress rehearsal

 

with a bit of fencing. 

Does Nothingness Exist?

 

An afternoon of relaxed Chinese philosophy.

Bogdan Borčić

 It is always nice to go and see a relative's exhibition and see my relatives that I have not seen for ages. (This of course, is not Margarite's pipe)

Bloove

 

A relaxing evening with a wonderful duet in a wonderful setting, at my friend's house, somewhere in the Slovene hills.  

Student Theatre 9.0, day 2

Started off with an afternoon performance of Me, Me (my favourite of the day)

followed by Once, Twice, Thrice

and an evening performance of The Report of Generation Z (my least favourite of the day).

 

Student Theatre 9.0, day 1

 In the first play we knew the beginning and the end, but were trying to find the bit in between.

While the second one was all about war (even though it is hard to tell from this photo).

A bit unusual

 

but it was a walkabout through the theatre with some headphones on.

(and the message was: Only feelings remain)

Magic

 is found in the performance.

MandićBaptism

 A winter Sunday afternoon spent in a gallery watching a performance. 

Time dances

 

Seen this performance quite a few times, but it is always different, and never boring. 

Heroes 4.0, Business as usual

 Uroš

Vito

and both of them together in midair. 

Emil Memon and the Gang

in concert to get us started in the year. 

 

Christmas eve show

 

with all the presents scattered across the stage. 

Made in China

On my way home from a paid photogig I stumbled across an exhibition opening (The photos from the paid photogig are not here as that was a day before (i.e. before midnight, and I stumbled upon this opening/party at around half past midnight. It was good to meet some friends and unwind a bit, but of course, I had to take a few photos, so here is one from the exhibition opening. As for the artefact, I know we sometimes want to have this at hand, but so far this man with a cam has managed to avoid it. 

Haludovo day 2

Slowly getting the feel for the place.

 

First day of the Haludovo residency

 

Finally! After I stumbled across this abandoned hotel in 2015 and coming up with the idea to take some photographs of Gregor dancing in this place, we finally managed to find some time to do it. This is day 1 of what we decided to call our Haludovo residency. More days to come :) 

From afternoon to evening

Started the afternoon off with a wonderful performance Silver Gold in Stara Pošta,

and then joined my friend from a long time ago, who has moved back from New York and held an exhibition and concert in Ljubljana. 

 

Anna

 Nowicka. At Cofestival. I haven't seen her for a long time and I haven't taken photos at Cofestival for a while. 

Soap Opera

 

possibly not quite what one would expect from the title. 

It might take a while

 

to get used to this, but the most exciting part of going to this storytelling performance and photographing it lay somewhere else than usual.

An evening of movement and words

Short dance introduction.

Then Loup entered the stage... (I wish I had the notes that were written during the performance to add to the post.)  

Debate with food and drinks... 

A long weekend getaway

 

Each and every one of the photos I have taken in my life takes me back to the place and moment they were taken. This one will always take me back to a weekend getaway with my dream girl, and I hope that years from now we will look at it together, smile and remember our beginnings.

Naked stage - double bill

 

Special Edition dance, live music and impro performance

and a bit of a developing love story, with all its ups and downs. 

Self help room

 

We all need it sometimes

just to crawl from underneath our bed. 

Jan Rozman - Digital 1.5

 

I know that this photo doesn't show you a lot about the dance performance I witnessed, but I found this such a relaxing scene (especially in times like this) I thought this is the right photo to post. 

I have a dream

 

we all do

and work tirelessly on making them come true.

Sleeping Beauty

 and no, I'm not talking about my new girlfriend, but about a puppet play I photographed

 (I don't have a clue about what I am doing in neither case).
