We have a renowned Slovenian swing dancer and teacher, Nejc Zupan, coming to Split.

Nejc will teach us the basics of Lindy Hop, the most popular swing dance.

The workshop will take place on July 14, 2023, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. But that’s not all! After the workshop, we’ll have a dance party where you can practice and apply your newly acquired skills!

Admission is 20 € per person.

Registration for the workshop is mandatory to ensure the best experience for all participants. Please sign up using the following
LINK.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, this workshop is open to everyone who loves dancing and wants to explore the world of swing.

NEJC ZUPAN:
Nejc started swing dancing back in 2003 as a result of his contemporary dance experience and a strong love for jazz music. Because of this, he became the main culprit for the popularization of Lindy Hop, Blues and Balboa in Slovenia in the early 2000s. His Swing dance experience is a collection of endless research into different dance forms, many international workshops and his humble willingness to keep learning from anybody willing to teach him. In the past decade, he has taught all over Europe with some of the most talented teachers around and has supported new growing swing scenes in numerous countries. He is known for his elegant and smooth style of dancing as he pays special attention to jazz movement, history and musicality, both quintessential to any Swing dance form.

Tai chi and qigong with Sonja Jukic
Qi gong is an integral part of Traditional Chinese medicine (medical and health aspect), but also includes martial, artistic and spiritual aspects. Gentle exercises connect our body, breathing, energy and mind into one integrated whole. The regular practise of Qi gong improves and develops our Qi (vital energy), which brings improvements in our posture and the way we move.
Tai chi is a highly developed system of harmonizing the external body with internal energy. Its external movements stretch and strengthen the muscles, tendons and ligaments while the unique spiraling and twining movements massage the body’s internal organs as well as circulate qi energy throughout the body. It combines power, grace and agility, and it is a mean of self-expression for many. One of the features that defines Taijiquan as an internal martial art is the search for stillness within movement, and movement within stillness.

14–15:00
Magic Mindfulness: Welcome to the here and now with Vanessa Ast
Vanessa is a life coach and wellbeing expert from Germany and lives in Trogir. She has been working with and for people for almost 25 years. Vanessa specializes in mindfulness-based personal development with all its methods, as well as energetic and spiritual healing.
At her workshop “Magic Mindfulness: welcome to the here and now.” (in English), participants will learn, among other things, why mindfulness and mindfulness training are intense pillars in consciousness and healing work and are the gamechanger for so many people worldwide for a reason. There is a zoom into the brain, its thought spirals and the explanation why we are rarely in the here and now, what stress this creates, what limiting beliefs as well as self-sabotaging behavior patterns are formed from it and what immense (negative) influence all this has on our lives. Vanessa will share tips and tricks for more mindfulness in everyday life, guide appropriate meditations and invite interaction. So look forward to a lively, joyful and at the same time relaxing workshop.

***We strongly recommend you reserve your place in advance via Eventbrite for these workshops so you don’t miss out, and don’t forget to bring a yoga mat or something to sit on and plenty of water!***

The exhibition Heard by the Deep focuses on the topic of the sea, its (human and non-human) communities and the related environmental urgencies – as devastating as they are imperceptible to our human senses.

Featured artists work both with concrete scientific marine data – its usage, production, and visualization – and new, speculative, imaginative scenarios, making our comprehension of the sea environment experiential and emphasizing human pollution of the marine ecosystem. While the experimental approach and multidisciplinary knowledge production underline the common topic of the programme, the majority of the projects presented here share a strong focus on noise pollution or sound in general. Apart from being the main media for communication in the marine biosphere, sound waves travel through seawater much faster and louder than through air. The effects of anthropogenic noise on marine life and the underwater world, therefore, come with even more dangerous and long-lasting consequences. In these artworks and research, the sound is more than a medium for communication and expression; in affirming new ways of coexistence that can redesign the hierarchies within the variety of sea inhabitants, the featured works bring a strong emphasis on sound in re-thinking the materiality of the sea as well as its semantics.

From the microscale of the algae to the macroscale of noise pollution cartography, the underwater world truly is a sonic one.

Heard by the Deep program was created and produced by KONTEJNER within the international project A Sea Change focused on interdisciplinary and intermedia arts, artistic and curatorial research dealing with a wide range of sea-related subjects such as marine ecosystems, the well-being of coastal populations, blue economy, and bioacoustics. The program is co-curated together with project partners MOMus – Experimental Center for the Arts (GR), NeMe (CY), and Quo Artis Foundation (ES), and realized with the support of local partners MedILS – Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences and Multimedia Cultural Centre, Split.

“In this workshop I’ll pass on some key elements that I have discovered myself and learnt along the way of my fourteen years of aerial practice that you can implement into your everyday training. This workshop will specialise in delivering technical understanding for vertical aerials, therefore — this workshop is ideal for anyone looking to improve on rope and silk.

I will share combinations and transition as well as key conditioning techniques that can unfold into creative pathways that will aim to achieve a fluid and dynamic skillset through movement efficiency. This workshop is aimed at people with a basic knowledge of vertical apparatus. Ability to invert in mid-air is required.” — Georgina Cassels

Slobodne veze/ Loose Associations and their associates have been dealing with issues of critical reevaluation and preservation of the modernist architectural heritage of the second half of the 20th century through the activities of the MOTEL TROGIR project. The project consists of many activities and has developed a specific methodology which can be described as a combination of civic activism and scientific, publishing and educational work, including curating and producing contemporary art projects.

At the beginning of 2020, Slobodne veze were invited to (co)curate the international contemporary art biennial in Dresden OSTRALE O21: BREATHTURN. A large international exhibition took place in one of the neglected modernist buildings in the center of Dresden — the former workers’ canteen of the ROBOTRON factory, an important city point from the GDR period. The exhibition brought together over 130 artists from all over the world, and the biennale then had iterations in the Budapest Art Quarter (aqb) and in Kaunas (Kaunas 2022 European Capital of Culture ). Modernist architecture and reflections about its future (and creative reuse) is the red line that connects Dresden, Budapest, Kaunas and Split.

The meeting of the partners of the FLOWING CONNECTIONS project in Split is conceived as a sort of recapitulation of three years of cooperation, but also as a public platform for discussing common topics. In addition to the above-mentioned events, which are open to the public, an artistic residency of the KOLXOZ Colletive (Prague, Chisinau, Tiraspol) is organized, as well as a series of internal meetings, tours and networking with actors of the local cultural scene. Kaunas 2022, this year’s European Capital of Culture, is one of the project partners that, with its focus on the interwar modernism of the city, through the program line MODERNISM FOR THE FUTURE, opens up a number of interesting topics. With a number of experts, an interdisciplinary project has been developed to nominate modernist districts of Kaunas for UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage. The lecture of Professor Marija Dremaita from the University of Vilnius will present the “phenomenon of the city of Kaunas” and its influence on the modernism of the middle and second half of the 20th century in Lithuania, touching on the “controversial” Soviet modernist legacy. The lecture is at the same time a link to the penultimate stop of the FLOC project and a contribution to bringing together geographically distant areas with similar preoccupations regarding the protection of modernist architectural and other cultural heritage.

FLOWING CONNECTIONS (FLOC) is a three-year international collaborative project supported by the European Union through the Creative Europe program. The project is co-financed by the Kultura nova Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia and the City of Split.

Objava FLOWING CONNECTIONS (FLOC) IN SPLIT ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM- SCREENINGS- LECTURES- TOURS pojavila se prvi puta na Dom mladih Split.

The conceptual backbone of all these events is experimentation with sound.

The festival begins with a collaboration with Platformat, a festival for independent culture, organized by the Platforma Doma mladih (Youth Center Platform). These two festivals together have invited the House of Extreme Music Theater by DB Indoš to the underground club Kocka, and this time with the participation of the legendary band Trobecove krušne peći. KUŽNI IFRIT is a cosmophonic performance that emerged from joint work for remote performances of DEMONI KUGE, and premiered in early 2022 in the Great Hall of Pogon Jedinstvo in Zagreb.
The unique feature of this year’s ISPOD BINE festival is that it will present local, Split artists of different generations and artistic expressions. Each of them premieres a new creative work created exclusively for the ISPOD BINE festival. On October 13 from noon to 3pm, the festival events spread throughout the city of Split, using a moving audio installation by the legends of the Split art scene, Milan Brkić and Rino Efendić.

On Friday, October 14, Gordan Tudor, a saxophonist from Split with an international career, will perform his Soliloquy at Beton Kino, and on Saturday, October 15, Toni Mijač, an artist of the younger generation, will open his multimedia exhibition “Turn into an ear” in the MKC Gallery. At the very closing of the festival, October 23, we present another legend of Split’s independent scene, Hrvoje Cokarić (c_bastard), who will give us his sound performance “armageddon torch” in Kocka.

In addition to the forces of Split, which the festival continuously supports and promotes, and encourages them to experiment with sound outside of their native artistic media, this year ISPOD BINE presents the work of Miodrag Gladović, an electrical engineer, musician, and multimedia artist, who is extremely active on the contemporary art scene. either as a member of the artistic duo Lightune.G with Bojan Gagić, or independently. With his work, engineering knowledge, and exceptional creativity, he continuously contributes to the innovation of the projects in which he participates. The combination of a punk approach and DIY ethics, two decades of musical experience in stylistically different bands and projects, incorporation and use of new technologies in artistic work, and sensibility for contemporary music and art — these are all reasons why Gladović has become one of the most prominent names of the contemporary scene, primarily experimental and improvisational music, and in Split, he will hold a lecture about his work and perform his audiovisual performance “Packmess”.

So that this year’s festival does not go without international guest appearances by established sound artists, this year we present Manja Ristić, an internationally active artist who, since her institutional training as a violinist, is now very active in the improv and experimental music scene, and is represented by the audiovisual installation “Good Water” which will be opened in the Kocka Gallery on October 21, followed by Igor Stanglitzki’s impro soundscape journey.

Finally, the festival brings musician Amy Denio from Seattle, who is best known as a saxophonist in the band Kultur Shock. This versatile artist, in addition to playing several instruments and permanently engaging in pedagogical work, also performing vocal improvisations, will be in Split on Sunday, October 23, to do a vocal improv workshop for the public, and after that a solo performance in which she will immediately incorporate recordings of vocal improvisations with the participants of the workshop.

The sound art festival ISPOD BINE was founded and led by Natasha Kadin and Hrvoje Pelicarić since 2016, it is organized by the Mavena association, and this year it is held in partnership with the Multimedia Cultural Center Split, the Youth Center Platform, the Coalition of Youth Associations and with the financial support of the City of Split and the Ministry of culture and media of the Republic of Croatia. The authors of the festival logo are Kazinoti&Komenda, this year’s visual identity was designed by Igor Stanglitzky, and the poster was screen-printed by Edi Matić, E.m.gra, while the animations were done by Tihana Mandušić.

Pilar Palomero – Born in Zaragoza, Pilar graduated in Hispanic Philology at the Zaragoza University in 2003. In 2006, she graduated in Cinematography at the Madrid Film School (ECAM).

In 2009, she directed ‘Niño Balcón’, a short film which enjoyed a long journey in both national and international festivals, winning more than 25 awards and more than 150 selections the Malaga Film Festival, the Huesca Film Festival, the Warsaw Film Festival, the San Luis International Film Festival or the Puchon International Film Festival were some of those events.

During this period, Pilar combined her film projects while working as a TV screenwriter and the co-writer of the feature film ‘Chaco’, by Bolivian director Diego Mondaca – which recently premiered at the 2020 Rotterdam Film Festival. She has also worked as a Screenplay and Photography teacher.

Her professional career took a great leap when she was selected by Hungarian director Béla Tarr as one of the 16 filmmakers to take part in his collaborative project Film Factory in Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina) in 2013. At the Film Factory, she had the opportunity to work and learn from some of the current film industry’s most important critics, director and theorists, such as Gus Van Sant, Carlos Reygadas, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Pedro Costa, Cristian Mungiu, Guy Maddin, Tilda Swinton, Juliette Binoche, Gael García Bernal, Jean-Michel Frodon, Rasha Salti, Thierry Garrel, Jonathan Rosenbaum and Jytte Jensen, among others.

During this period, she has written and directed the short films ‘Noć’ (2015) and ‘La Noche de Todas las Cosas’ (2016), the latter produced by Inicia Films and developed within the NISI MASA European Short Pitch’s framework – which took part, among others, at the Busan International Short Film Festival. She has also directed the featurette ‘Zimsko Sunce’ (2017), which earned a special BiH film jury mention at the Sarajevo Film Festival and premiered in Spain at the 2017 Alcala de Henares Film Festival and the Margenes Festival, as well as the creative documentary Horta (2017), which had its world premiered at the prestigious Doclisboa’17 and was selected at DocumentaMadrid, D’A Festival de Cine de Autor, Festival de Cine de Málaga and the London Contemporary Arts Intitute’s Frames of Representation.

In 2020 Pilar premiered her first feature film Las Niñas at the Malaga Film Festival, winning the Golden Biznaga for Best Film. After its passage through the festival, it reached commercial cinemas to great public and critical acclaim. Since its premiere, she has not stopped accumulating awards and recognitions, including 4 Goya Awards (Best Film, Best New Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematography) and the ASECAN Award (Film without Andalusian Production), making history by becoming the first director to win the award for Best New Director and Best Film for the same project. The film, produced by Inicia Films and Bteam Pictures, was also the big winner of the Feroz and Forqué Awards, as well as countless awards at different national film festivals and exhibitions.

Pilar is also part of the film collective BISTRIK7, and has participated in the Berlinale Talents in 2016 and 2021 and Sarajevo Talents 2016, as well as in the Residencies of the Academies of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with which she is developing her next project, La Maternal. This feature film is currently in post-production.
