Artistic Moments Together #2

Sharing with Sonja Pregrad , Dejan Srhoj, Jasmina Založnik
In the frame of TO KEEP IN TOUCH ...

3 WORKS refers to a collaborative presentation format that brings together dance artists and writers to discuss and illuminate important aspects of each other’s choreographic, practical, and textual work. The format is designed so to reflect Nomad Dance Academy’s core principle which emphasizes the value of artistic community and collective art production. Every evening, from Tuesday to Wednesday, a different trio of artists takes over. 

Sonja Pregrad

Sonja Pregrad (Croatia) is a dance artist, performer, organiser and collaborator, based between Zagreb (Croatia) and Berlin (Germany). Growing up in an East-European, ex-socialist country, is probably one of the things that shaped her understanding of art as always relational, collective and contextualised endeavour. She has been involved in different grass-root initiatives within the art community of Zagreb. She is a founder and producer of the festival Improspekcije (since 2007), Fourhanded artistic platform and Antisezona program at Contemporary Art Museum. In her work as a choreographer, dance is always thought of as a relational gesture, her choreography extending from re-inventing body-based practices to re-appropriating performance formats. Sonja made works on her own and developed different long-term artistic collaborations, performing her work internationally. She received Croatian Theatre Award for the best female performance and the best work in total, two collective Croatian Dance Union Awards and a special mention at the 26th Slavonian biennale. As a performer she has been working with choreographers Meg Stuart, Isabelle Schad, visual artist Sanja Iveković, and others. 

Dejan Srhoj

Dejan Srhoj (1978) is an independent performer working in contemporary dance. He is currently developing the long term project Composing Differences in which, through improvisations, the sharing of practices, and education he explores choreographic principles that deal with community. 
Realising that a robot can awaken emotions, Dejan created a performance in Sweden for the robot Nao who speaks, dances, and thinks. Since 2001 he works as a freelancer, and is one of the founding members of Fičo Ballet, in the frame of which, together with Goran Bogdanovski, he has performed or collaborated on many performances.
