CHOREOGRAPHIC FANTASY No. 1 deals with the choreography in the format of a series of fragments as its manifestations, forms and symptoms. It platforms the choreographic appearance as a manifestation per se; without any additions which do not emerge from its own centre. Embarking on a long journey through the archetypes of dances, all of which are in some way anchored in our present day understanding and execution of movement, this work is phantasmagoric in a sense of a phantom or also as pandemonium.
CHOREOGRAPHIC FANTASY No. 1 is a new work of renowned Croatian choreographer Marjana Krajač developed for and with five emerging dance artists. It is the beginning of a choreographic series which evokes a trust in the very essence of a dance medium, exposing its fragility and enhancing its core.
MARJANA KRAJAČ is author of numerous choreographic works that are relevantly reshaping an understanding what contemporary dance formats can teritorialize. In shifting between elaborated and quiet, singular and complex, large and once-fleeting she is on the continuous reload of her choreographic territory that never cease to re-expand. Graduated from State School for Contemporary Dance “Ana Maletić” in Zagreb, Academy of Performing Arts in Berlin and has also studied theology at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. She worked with Grupe Dunes in Marseille and after the graduation she collaborates and dances for and with numerous choreographers in Berlin. She collaborated with Mårten Spångberg and Meg Stuart in projects Choreographers’ Venture - The Adventure and Everyday Heroes/Extern Sources. Along her choreographic focus she is also active textualy and has been published in New York’s Movement Research Performance Journal, Croatian Performing Arts Magazine Frakcija and Croatian journal for dance Kretanja. She lives and works in Zagreb.
