How do we work in the (independent) performing arts scene?

ONDA meeting local performing arts scene

20.04 – 23.04.2023

@  MKC, Skopje

 

Lokomotiva in collaboration with ONDA, as part of its interdisciplinary program, with the aim to encounter the Macedonian contemporary performing arts scene with 25 curators from diverse theatres and festivals in France, is organizing and curating from 20-23 of April, 2023 in Skopje a program that includes performances, artists talks, discussions and meetings.

The French curators will have an opportunity to meet with the artists and talk about the actual performances, processes of development of the ideas, as well as with the larger scene on topics related to the working conditions, policies and politics in which they operate locally and internationally, how are the spaces for performing arts organized, production facilities, distribution of the performances in the country and internationally. Lokomotiva will also raise the issue of whether we need an institution on contemporary performing arts?

20 years of LOKOMOTIVA

/македонски подолу/
It’s been 20 years of coexistence of the community called Lokomotiva which was, not so peacefully, steering and sailing through our macadams… but still, if we look back to some point in 2003, we see a path, a very colorful one, full of sound, filled with lots of art, breaking lances, different crosswinds, more art, conversations, laughter, research, various challenges, struggles, victories, many lessons learned, communities created, spaces and changes we wanted…
A long journey is yet ahead of us, but this year, we will take a little break to say thank you to all of us who see ourselves as part of that coexistence, as collaborators, as audience and as friends, as those without whom Lokomotiva would never have been possible.
We want to dedicate this year to what that coexistence was based on for the past 20 years, i.e. to what makes Lokomotiva what it is – the collaborations here, in the region and beyond, research in art and cultural policies, commitment to the production and presentation of contemporary art , advocating for the needs of artists and cultural workers, creating new thinking spaces and discursive perspectives, new pedagogies and methods of how we learn together, how we build the community through solidarity and spaces where we create and coexist…

Thanks to Ana Jovanovska who is behind the design of this jubilee.
