PLATFORM(a) is a new program of
Lokomotiva, part of the Kino Kultura space for contemporary arts and
culture, and a new step forward in our efforts to enhance development in
the contemporary performing arts context in Macedonia. Lokomotiva has been
organizing the Locomotion Festival for Contemporary Dance and Performance
for the past eight years; this year however, we decided to stop the festival
since we had been facing various obstacles in the past period. Such are, among
many others, the financial difficulties as well as the sub- standard working
conditions, which seriously impede our ability to plan and to program
strategically, instead forcing us to act more tactically and react fast.
Therefore, we came to the decision to
extend the event of festival into an ongoing program, a Platform(a) for
contemporary performing arts that would allow us tactical planning and
action, and also presentation –when possible– of different activities in the
field of contemporary performing arts, realized in the period of at least a
year.
PLATFORM(a) as a program can be seen
as a mechanism that aims at preserving, through different tactical actions, the
space for contemporary performing arts and culture that is disappearing in
Macedonia, addressing the experience of events and the politics of presentation
and discussing contemporary performing arts references, concepts,
presentation modes, curatorial models, theoretical and philosophical ideas
behind it.
PLATFORM(a) October program is
created in collaboration between Biljana Tanurovska Kjulavkovski, Violeta
Kachakova, Kliment Poposki, Sabrina Zeleznik, Elena Risteska, Pavle Ignovski ,
Filip Jovanovski, Ivana Vaseva and Sofija Goseva Colancevska.
Public program of PLATFORM(a) is @
KINO KULTURA- Space for Contemporary performing arts and culture
