Ljubljana Dance Theatre was initiated by the choreographer and dancer Ksenija Hribar (also one of the co-founders of London Contemporary Dance Theater and receiver of [[Župančič Award of the City of Ljubljana]]) and co-founded with the choreographer and director Damir Zlatar Frey. The establishment of the theatre presented a necessary professionalisation of contemporary dance in Slovenia and the then Yugoslavia. Under the artistic leadership of Ksenija Hribar (Damir Zlatar Frey left the theatre in 1986), PTL was an open dance-theatre group that created a number of important and influential performances. Until 1996, when PTL obtained its own rehearsal and performing spaces in Prule, the majority of performances were presented on the stages of [[Cankarjev dom]], [[Mladinsko Theatre]], [[Kapelica Gallery]] and elsewhere. During the next years, the theatre was led artistically by Ksenija Hribar, Matjaž Farič, and Sinja Ožbolt. Recently, the theatre constitutes itself increasingly as a production venue, presenting around 80 performances a year, including both its own productions and innovative domestic and foreign performances.

Ljubljana Dance Theatre (PTL) was founded in 1984. Throughout the 1980s, PTL played a pioneering role in the development and promotion of contemporary dance in Slovenia. Most of today's established contemporary dance choreographers and dancers have collaborated with the theatre, and some of them later founded their own companies in the 1990s (e.g., Flota Institute, Fourklor, etc.).


History

Ljubljana Dance Theatre was initiated by the choreographer and dancer Ksenija Hribar (also one of the co-founders of London Contemporary Dance Theater and recipient of the Župančič Award of the City of Ljubljana) and co-founded with the choreographer and director Damir Zlatar Frey. The establishment of the theatre presented a necessary professionalisation of contemporary dance in Slovenia and the then Yugoslavia. Under the artistic leadership of Ksenija Hribar (Damir Zlatar Frey left the theatre in 1986), PTL was an open dance-theatre group that created a number of important and influential performances. Until 1996, when PTL obtained its own rehearsal and performing spaces in the Prule neighbourhood of Ljubljana, the majority of performances were presented on the stages of Cankarjev dom, Mladinsko Theatre, Kapelica Gallery and elsewhere. During the next years, the theatre was led artistically by Ksenija Hribar, Matjaž Farič, and Sinja Ožbolt. Recently, the theatre constitutes itself increasingly as a production venue, presenting around 80 performances a year, including both its own productions and innovative domestic and foreign performances.

From 1992–1996, PTL has organised five international Video Dance Festivals, held in Cankarjev dom. In 1993 it presented three première performances in the frame of European Cultural Capital in Belgium, which were praised for their innovative approaches..
