Telemama’s Solemn Event is a concert-like performance. Its appearance and content sublimate few elements of school performances from the socialistic era, in which the author have participated during her childhood years with many of her fellow-schoolmates. Within that relatively conservative mise-en-scene she sings her own songs, played on ukulele. Their main subject is the ongoing authoritarian political picture in Macedonia and the individual’s position in it.
Save the dance’ campaign Performance deals with the current position contemporary dance has in the field of arts. We are questioning it from different perspectives as also we share different professional backgrounds. From the historical perspective one could claim that contemporary dance has survived many changes and it evolved to the point where it is almost only a mental activity and even completely conceptual.
