About project:
In-between is a land that exists on no map. It is a place that is neither here nor there, where things are far yet somehow near, where one may easily lose their way – and just as easily stumble upon something.
A place where you wonder: What now?
The performance invites young audiences on a journey along Not-yet-Although-Maybe where we do not yet know where we are, or what things and spaces might become; into an exploration of impulses and possibilities for imagination “in between” – between us and space, me and you, us and the world. Through movement and playful objects the performance invites play and discovery with no final answers – just plenty of room for experience, connection and imagination.
The performance features objects that have, in one way or another, already performed – or at least longed to perform – on the stage of the Dance Theatre Ljubljana. Now they return, not as what they once were, but as what they could become.
About author:
Barbara Kanc is a dancer, choreographer, performer and dance teacher. She was educated at the Art Grammar School, majoring in contemporary dance, and then in 2007 she graduated with honors from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London. She is attracted to small, almost imperceptible things and various forms of presence. She searches for meaning in the seeming simplicity and insignificance. Author's projects are created cyclically, according to its nature - among them: Waitings, Yah Eht Ni Eldeen, Iskanja brez naslova, Oči, ki letijo in Pronicanja (both co-authored with Anja Bornšek and Tina Valentan), Outside/Inside (and in between): Garden, Outside: Potosled (2024) and others. As a dancer she participated in dance performances with artists such as Maja Delak, Dejan Srhoj, Katja Legin and the No! Training Lab, Matjaž Farič, Iztok Kovač and others. In recent years, she has devoted more and more creative energy to young audiences. As a dancer she participates in theatre and dance performances for children and adolescents, such as Peskovnik and Tunel (r. Miha Golob), Povodni koncert, Povodni mož Ambrož and CTRL.SHIFT.ESC. (R. and Cor. Natalija Manojlović Varga), Doodledee, it's me! (R. and Cor. AEIOU and Sanja Tropp Frühwald) and Hišica iz kock (dir. Irena Rajh). As a choreographer, she worked on performances Kuku, Oh la la and Tok tok tok (dir. Mateja Bizjak Petit) and Medvedek Pu (dir. by Benjamin Zajc). Since 2004 she has also worked as a performer and author in the field of historical (Renaissance and Medieval) dances. For over a decade, she has been teaching children and young people about creative and contemporary dance. She has created many dance miniatures and performances with them, as she firmly believes in the transformative power of dance – both for the individual and for society as a whole If you are interested in what she does and where she creates, you can find more about her work at:https://koreografski.info/barbara-kanc/
O projektu:
Vmes je dežela, ki ne obstaja na nobenem zemljevidu. To je kraj, ki ni ne tukaj in ne tam. Kjer so stvari daleč, a vseeno blizu, kjer se zlahka izgubiš – a tudi kaj najdeš.
Kraj, kjer se vprašaš: Kaj pa zdaj?
Predstava mlade gledalce povabi skozi postaje Ne še-čeprav-mogoče, kjer še ne vemo kje smo ali kaj bi stvari lahko bile. Odpre prostor za odkrivanje impulzov in možnosti za domišljijo „vmes” – med nami in prostorom, mano in tabo, nami in svetom.
Predstava skozi gib, zvok in igrive predmete povabi v igro odkrivanja. Brez končnih odgovorov, a z veliko prostora za doživetje, stik, iskrivost in domišljijo.
V predstavi se pojavijo predmeti, ki so na tak ali drugačen način že nastopali ali si vsaj želeli nastopiti na odru Plesnega Teatra Ljubljana. Vračajo se, ne kot to, kar so bili, temveč kot to, kar bi lahko postali.
O avtorici:
Barbara Kanc je plesalka, koreografinja, performerka in plesna pedagoginja. Izobraževala se je na Umetniški gimnaziji, smer sodobni ples, nato pa leta 2007 z odliko diplomirala na Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance v Londonu. Pozornost ji pritegnejo male, skoraj neopazne stvari in različne oblike navzočnosti. V navideznih preprostostih in neznatnostih se ustavlja, jih išče in jim daje pomen. Avtorske projekte ustvarja ciklično, v skladu z njeno naravo - mednje spadajo: Waitings, Yah Eht Ni Eldeen, Iskanja brez naslova, Oči, ki letijo in Pronicanja (oba v soavtorstvu z Anjo Bornšek in Tino Valentan), Zunaj/Znotraj (in vmes): Vrt, Zunaj: Potosled (2024) in drugi. Kot plesalka je sodelovala v plesnih predstavah z avtorji, kot so Maja Delak, Dejan Srhoj, Katja Legin in kolektiv No!Training Lab, Matjaž Farič, Iztok Kovač in drugi. V zadnjih letih vse več ustvarjalne energije posveča mlademu občinstvu. Kot plesalka sodeluje v gledališko-plesnih predstavah za otroke in mladostnike, kot so Peskovnik in Tunel (r. Miha Golob), Povodni koncert, Povodni mož Ambrož in CTRL.SHIFT.ESC. (r. in kor. Natalija Manojlović Varga), Krickrac, to sem jaz! (r. in kor. AEIOU in Sanja Tropp Frühwald) ter Hišica iz kock (r. Irena Rajh). Kot koreografinja oz. svetovalka za gib je sodelovala pri predstavah Kuku, Oh la la ter Tok tok tok (r. Mateja Bizjak Petit) in Medvedek Pu (r. Benjamin Zajc). Od leta 2004 kot izvajalka in avtorica deluje tudi na področju zgodovinskih (renesančnih in srednjeveških) plesov. Že več kot desetletje pa otroke in mladostnike poučuje ustvarjalni in sodobni ples. Z njimi je ustvarila številne plesne miniature in predstave, saj trdno verjame v transformativno moč plesa – tako za posameznika kot za celotno družbo Če vas zanima kaj vse in kje ustvarja lahko več o njenem delu najdete na: https://koreografski.info/barbara-kanc/
