Festival Lent 9 Ulica kneza Koclja Maribor, Upravna enota Maribor, 2000 Slovenia

Milan Tomášik s predstavo Fight Bright zaokrožuje koreografsko trilogijo skupinskih predstav (2014–18). V njej nadaljuje in nadgrajuje gibalne principe, ki jih je v sodelovanju s plesalci razvijal v dveh predhodnih skupinskih predstavah: Sezona lova (2014) in Silver Blue (2015).

Predstava Fight Bright se zavzema za pristno zaznavo in prepoznavanje; ostrino uporablja za obrambo, nikoli za napad; tveganje za samouresničevanje. Ustvarja silovito moč, ki vodi k izhodišču spopadov ter pri tem išče sočutje in krepi dialog. Prepletanje koreografije, scenografije in avtorske glasbe ponuja prefinjeno estetsko (pre)izkušnjo, ki prestopa meje materialnega ter osvetljuje polje energije, misli in idej.

Zanimanje za raziskovanje ritma, ki nastaja kot posledica napetosti mišic plesalčevega telesa, povezuje z izbranimi fizičnimi in psihološkimi vsebinami ter njim pripadajočimi odtenki barv in čustev. Prek natančno določenih stopenj mišične napetosti predstava razkriva gibalne interpretacije fizičnih ekstenzij v pojmovanju medsebojnosti, ki v zmanipuliranem svetu »lažnih novic« dnevno izginjajo. Harmonija znotraj kaosa se zdi nemogoča, pa vendar tako iskana, zaželena in bivalno pogojena. Fizični princip preiskovanja giba in odnosov, ki pri tem vznikajo, koreograf povezuje z vidiki procesnega mišljenja ameriškega psihologa Arnolda Mindella.

V koreografskem opusu Milana Tomášika ima središčno vlogo glasba. Pri Fight Bright je nastajala sočasno s koreografijo in zato iz nje na določenih mestih tudi izhaja. Je avtorsko delo francoskega skladatelja Simona Thierréeja, ki je kot skladatelj in glasbenik vrsto let sodeloval s Tomášikom pri soustvarjanju predstav mednarodno uspešnega kolektiva Les SlovaKs.

Milan Tomášik je mednarodno uveljavljen plesalec, koreograf in pedagog, rojen na Slovaškem. V Sloveniji živi in deluje od leta 2004. Diplomiral je na bruseljski mednarodni plesni akademiji P.A.R.T.S. v letu 2004, pod mentorstvom ugledne belgijske koreografinje Anne Terese de Keersmaeker. Po končanem študiju je sodeloval s številnimi umetniki, kot so Jackie Gray (Nova Zelandija), Katarína Mojžišová, Tomáš Krivošík (Slovaška), Iztok Kovač, Mala Kline, Snježana Premuš, Maja Delak, Barbara Novakovič Kolenc (Slovenija) in Alexander Gottfarb (Švedska). V letu 2017 je soustvaril predstavo Solo za dva glasova skupaj s koreografinjo Magdaleno Reiter in dramaturginjo Anjo Golob. V dvanajstletnem obdobju je ustvaril tri solo predstave (Within, 2006; Off-beat, 2011; Solo, 2016) in tri predstave s skupino Milan Tomášik & Co (Sezona lova, 2014; Silver Blue, 2015; Fight Bright, 2018).

Fight Bright is committed to genuine perception, recognition, compassion and dialogue. Force is used for knowledge and defense, never for attack. Risk exploits self-realization. It creates a powerful force that takes the spirit back to the source of its conflicts. The interweaving of choreography, scenography and original music offers an experience that transcends the boundaries of the material and illuminates the field of energy, thoughts and ideas.

Milan Tomášik’s Fight Bright rounds off his choreographic trilogy of group performances (2014–18).In it, he continues and takes further the movement principles that he developed in cooperation with the dancers in his previous two performances: Hunting Season (2014) and Silver Blue (2015). He connects his interest in exploring the rhythm that emerges as a result of muscle tension in a dancer’s body with select physical and psychological contents and the related nuances of colour and emotion. Through precisely determined degrees of muscle tension, the performance reveals the movement interpretations of physical extensions in conceiving interpersonality, which in the manipulated world of “fake news” disappear on a daily basis. Harmony within chaos seems impossible and yet it is very much sought after, desired and existentially conditioned. The choreographer relates the physical principle of exploring movement and the relationships that thereby emerge with aspects of process thinking in the sense used by the American psychologist Arnold Mindell.

In Milan Tomášik’s choreographic oeuvre, music plays a central role. The music for Fight Bright was created simultaneously with the choreography and therefore in places originates in the latter. It is an original work by Simon Thierrée, a French composer and musician that has cooperated with Tomášik for several years in co-creating the performances of the internationally successful collective Les SlovaKs.

☀ FESTIVAL LENT 2019 PROGRAMME : www.festival-lent.si/program/

Chorus je zmagovalni projekt razpisa za Kulturni evro 2016.
Predstava Chorus je prejela nagrado Gibanice 2019 za najboljšo predstavo po izboru občinstva.

💃🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

Ustvarjalce predstave Chorus ples zanima kot trangresivna gesta, ki lahko preseže normirano in stvarno, saj je gibanje kot relacijska Reč vselej stvar medtelesnega in s tem zelo plodna možnost politične emancipacije. “Ples je vselej lociran vmes – v neki pogoj skupnosti. Nima lastne pozicije; dar je, ki ga prejmemo brez sprejetja, dar, ki ga damo brez dajanja. Skupaj lahko obstajamo le vmes, v praznih prostorih, črnih luknjah, naših nenehnih nesporazumih, ki vzpostavljajo resničnost. Eno smo lahko le skozi razliko,” je v imenu ustvarjalcev zapisal Jan Krmelj. Tragiški chorus, iz katerega izhajata nenazadnje besedi choreogus(meščan, ki ureja in plačuje zbor) in koreograf, je kot manifestacija različnih vidikov javnosti, zakonov in morale za njih retoričen glas informacije in družbenega komentarja. “Naš chorus molči. Vse preveč dogodkov in konceptov je, da bi jih lahko naslovili. Chorus se tu distancira od človeškega sveta, ponovno vstopi v predtragiško formo, da bi se dotaknili nečesa, kar ni sporočljivo.” In da bi naslovili nekaj, kar najčisteje naslavlja beseda “odsotnost”.

Žigan Krajnčan (1995) je koreograf, plesalec in performer, ki je že v času osnovne in srednje šole (SVŠGUGL) in tudi kasneje aktivno nastopal v projektih mnogih slovenskih koreografov, glasbenikov in režiserjev. Med drugim je kot svetovalec za gib sodeloval tudi z AGRFT, MGL in SNG Drama Ljubljana. Gašper Kunšek (1997) je na plesno pot stopil pri štirih letih in vse od takrat nizal številne uspehe na tekmovanjih tako v Sloveniji kot v tujini. Nato se je srečal z glasbo, s sodobnim plesom, z interdisciplinarnimi projekti, uličnimi nastopi, plesnimi dvoboji, od trinajstega leta naprej pa svoj umetniški izraz nadgrajuje v sodelovanju z Žiganom Krajnčanom. Skupaj sta v letu 2016 ustvarila avtorski duet Alien Express, s katerim nastopata po vsem svetu, leta 2017 pa je skupaj z Janom Krmeljem soustvaril avtorski projekt Chorus. Žigan in Gašper sta v istem letu prejela nagrado Ksenije Hribar za perspektivna plesalca, v letu 2018 pa sta skupaj z Nejcem Osovnikarjemodprla šolo plesa in giba Scena.

Chorus was the winning project of the 2016 Cultural Euro call.
The performance Chorus received the Gibanica 2019 Prize for the best performance by the audience choice.

The creators of the performance Chorus are interested in dance as a transgressive gesture, which can overcome the standardised and real, for movement focuses on relations and thus always takes place between bodies, which offers extremely fertile grounds for political emancipation.

“Dance is always placed in between – into the condition for community. It does not have its own position; it is a gift we receive without acceptance, a gift we give without giving. We can coexist only in between, in the empty spaces, in the black holes, in our constant misunderstandings which establish reality. We can only become one through difference,” they say. They understand the tragic chorus, from which the words chorêgos (the bourgeoisie who organises and pays the choir) and choreographer emerged, as a manifestation of various aspects of the public, laws and morals that gives the rhetoric voice of information and social commentary.

“Our chorus remains silent. There are way too many events and concepts for us to address. Chorus distances itself from the human world, it re-enters the pre-tragic form in order to touch upon something that cannot be passed on.” Chorus also addresses something which can in its purest form be addressed merely by the word: Absence.

Žigan Krajnčan (1995) is a choreographer, dancer and performer, who actively performed in various projects by Slovenian choreographers, musicians and director since his elementary and high school days, as well as later on. Among other thing, he collaborated as a movement advisor with Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television, Ljubljana City Theatre and Slovene National Theatre Drama Ljubljana. Gašper Kunšek (1997) began his dancing career at 4 and has since had numerous successful performances in competitions both in Slovenia and abroad. Later, he came across music, contemporary dance, interdisciplinary projects, street performances, dance duels, and since he was 13, he has been developing his artistic expression in cooperation with Žigan Krajnčan. Together, they are performing around the world with their original duet Alien Express, created in 2016, and in 2017, they co‑created original project Chorus together with Jan Krmelj. Also in 2017, Žigan and Gašper won the Ksenija Hribar Award for promising dancers, and in 2018, they opened dance and movement school Scena.
