international improvisation festival, 8th edition
27th – 29th November 2014
Zagreb Student Centre, &TD Theatre
With this eighth edition of Improspections, we continue to look at improvisation and its faces, this time, not only in the context of performance, but on a wider territory of artistic practice. We are wondering how far improvisation is a part, maybe even a constitutive part, of an act of making. We have invited artists from different media – dance, theatre, music, film, installation, graphic recording – to think about improvisation through their practices and to think their practices through improvisation.Thus, instead of focusing on single art works, we want to foreground the processes of their making, processes that do not finish in these works, but get impregnated and continue further out of them.
Artists participating in this edition of Improspections are: Julyen Hamilton, Johanna Benz, Pavle Heidler, Ilse Ghekiere and Tras Association, Nives Sertić, Roko Crnić, Marina Petković Liker, Silvia Marchig and Sabina Mikelić, Marjana Krajač, Sonja Pregrad, Zrinka Šimičić Mihanović, Zrinka Užbinec, Ana Kreitmayer
