Welcome to the general rehearsal of the performance #Building Conversation ZAGREB 2016!...

We are pleased to invite you to the sneak preview – final rehearsal of the performance #BuildingConversationZAGREB2016 by Lotte van den Berg & Daan ‘t Sasa! If you are interested in how the way we talk about the world creates the world we live in, if you are intrigued by or would like to try the conversation techniques of different cultures and people, or you simply can’t make it to the performance, you can apply with your contact mobile phone on ganznovifestival@gmail.com, until midnight October 12th, on one or more of the these conversations & dates: Thursday, October 13th, from 14-17h Parliament of Things We are accustomed to humans speaking not only for themselves but also on behalf of other entities – the universe, the rain forest, the animals, the city. The Parliament of Things is a theory of Bruno Latour that makes a case for the rights of objects. In modern thought, people refuse to recognize the rights, autonomy and agency of objects and other entities, according to Latour. He argues for a human viewpoint in which the values (not the value) of objects and other entities play an active role. When developing this form of conversation, we want to take a distance from anthropocentric thinking in which humans place themselves at the centre of existence, and consider what the relation is between us and things. Can we speak on behalf of things? Are we in them? Are we opposite to them? Another source of inspiration for Parliament of Things is the Council of All Beings, a worldwide practice that investigates our relation to nonhuman entities – namely, nature. Among other things, this “Council” refers to a ritual of the Aboriginals, who consider themselves connected with plants, clouds, and a mountain as if they were their ancestors. They use masks to speak on behalf of these entities. We want to use masks in a similar way in this conversation/performance and investigate what it means for us Westerners to speak on behalf of things, on behalf of nature. Will this remain a dualistic relation, from a person to a thing, or is it conceivable that a different relation will arise, that we give ourselves a different place in the universe? Friday, October 14th, from 10-13h Time Loop Are we capable of going back in time before we were born, ahead to after we die? Indians from the Great Lakes District in Canada have the tradition to, before making an important decision, consult first their ancestors from seven generations ago, and after that, their descendants from seven generations in the future as well. Only in the third instance do they study what impact the eventual decision will have on the present. In the West, short-term thinking is what often seems to prevail over looking ahead and looking back. As a result, the future becomes an abstract, remote perspective, unconnected to the world we live in. Can being related to the distant past help us in relating to the distant future? Inspired by the practice of the Indians from the Great Lakes District but also by contemporary thinkers like Giorgio Agamben, who speaks of the importance of being strongly rooted in the past in order to have a vision of the future, we are creating a method of conversation with various rounds in which the participants alternatingly talk from the perspective of their ancestors, their descendants and themselves. Can we expand our awareness of time, the time-space in which we live, and enlarge our thinking? There appears to be a shortage of time on all levels – daily life, within a person’s lifespan, in relation to climate change, etc. We feel like we are in a race against the clock. We are already too late, it seems. What would happen if we ‘zoom out’ in time? Does this put the decisions we make into perspective or does it make them extra...

Stop burying your rage. Culture heals!...

Only one week separates us from the opening of the 6th Ganz novi festival in Student Centre in Zagreb, one of many Zagreb festivals, yet completely new. Every year Ganz introspects and reinterprets itself considering the social context within which it works, the artists with whom it has the opportunity to cooperate, and the needs of the scene and the audience which it tries to grasp. This year Ganz is moving to the other side of the ramp, to the Ganz audience that will for the first time have a chance to see pieces from established European and world authors such as Rabih Mroué and Erna Ómarsdóttir, and to gain a socially acceptable framework for expression and creative transformation of anger and rage – emotions that are in our society widely suppressed and condemned. Ganz is an instant healing festival because it hits straight in the head: questions the mortal sin, the way we talk about the world, the way we think about the war, what we consider miracles, while driving away the fear of the unknown. At The Raging Ganz which takes place between October 13th and October 16th, we are expecting 50 artists from 9 countries, who will, during the 4 days of the festival, introduce current theatre happenings. The opening of the festival will be held in Zrinjevac park, where the art installation In the shadow of the waves by the French sound art duo Kristoff K.Roll will take place. Artists are inviting all citizens to participate in the making of the sound library of the sleeping world: The dream story evokes possible worlds, nightime, the quiet hours, the other world we inhabit as sleepers. Record your memories of dreams, speaking into our microphone! After three weeks of intensive workshop, María...

APPEAL FOR DREAM STORIES

… for a sound library of the sleeping world … French artistic duo Kristoff K.Roll (Carole Rieussec i J-Kristoff Camps) within their residency and performances from October 10 to 14, 2016 at Ganz New Festival in Zagreb, invite you to record your memories of dreams, speaking into their microphone. The stories will then be edited, and the sound reworked. Each breath, each respiratory sound will be highlighted. The dream story is what remains after waking up, or that lasts through the days and nights, forming a parallel life … vestiges of the dream transformed by speech, memory, and the present. The dream story is all the more valuable when it is full of details, when it encourages others to enter its domain, its own specif construction, its atmosphere. The dream story evokes possible worlds, nightime, the quiet hours, the other world we inhabit as sleepers. The collected dreams can be listened during the audio-speaking siestas A l’Ombre des Ondes (In The Shadow of the Waves) on October 13th and 14th, 2016 surrounded by a world of sound invented in real time at Zagreb Park Zrinjevac. Also, they will be stored in a sound library of dream stories compiled by the duo Kristoff K.Roll with each encounter. The duo Kristoff K.Roll are now gathering dreams in your area, contact them and arrange your recording session by writing at e-mail: ganznovifestival@gmail.com no later than October 10th 2016. Residency and performances are realised in partnership with Institut Francais, project TransARTE and program TEATROSKOP...

WORKSHOP/ Erna Ómarsdóttir: METAL AEROBIK...

15. 10., 16 do 19pm @ &TD theatre, big hall Metal aerobics is an invention from the Shalala workshop where dark energy is juxtaposed with extreme positive energy almost fake. It’s borrowing the form of a fitness class or aerobics, something that most people recognize and this makes it easy for everybody to enter into. Those two extremes juxtaposing constantly using simple steps and breathing out load, the repetition and the extreme simple movements, breathing, ending in a scream makes you experience an extreme liberation for a moment and that feeling lasts throughout the day along with a dash of neck muscle pain. We will do black yoga screaming exercises, metal aerobics and other wonderful and liberating stuff. We will say hello to our demons and think of different ways to cast them out, inventing unusual healing ritual by doing basic stuff like cleaning our house but in a rhytmical screaming and head banging dance. We will create our own private invisible almost completely sound proof black yoga screaming chamber but we will scream together out of joy, out of anger, out of frustration, to forget, to get energised, to get relaxed, scream all our problems away, scream for no particular reason at all. This might be a live saying experience…...

WORKSHOP/ NATAŠA RAJKOVIĆ (HR):DEVELOPMENT OF ART PROJECTS 2...

11. and 12.10. 18 to 21pm te 14. and 16.10. 17 to 20pm @ SC (SC Gallery and &TD theatre) In order to produce a work which moves towards integrality non-violently taking into account all the givens, we need to go back to motivation, structure, composition and dramaturgy – elementary concepts which get mixed up, but which we cannot do without. Lead by the theatre director Nataša Rajković, a six-day-long workshop will consist of conversations, presentations and individual consultations. Participants will have a chance to meet with Croatian artists and experts. The focus of the workshop will be on the special needs of participants’ own projects. During the workshop, they will be able to develop their ideas by means of individual consultations and/ or practically test them in the Student Center’s facilities. What we are talking about, preceded by thinking why are we talking about that, why that in particular? You have to deal with this on your own and if you resolve that question, you are on the right way to take your performance where it needs to go.— Nataša Rajković (Kazalište #53/54.) BIOGRAPHY Nataša Rajković is a theatre director and author. Since 2004, she has been the artistic director of the Culture of Change program within the Student Center of the University of Zagreb. Together with the theatre director Bobo Jelčić, she has worked in theatre since 1993. Their performances were shown all over Europe and won multiple awards....

In this class we practice embodiment of anger and rage through dance, voice and body-oriented psychotherapy exercises.
