Emanat, Institute for the Affirmation and Development of Dance and Contemporary Art, aims to gain recognition for contemporary dance through stage production, dance education, and publishing activity. Established in 2006 by Maja Delak, Emanat produces innovative works that develop their own artistic procedures and work codes as well as stimulate artistic exchange. Most recently, Emanat has produced the multimedia performance Ways of Love and published a Slovenian translation of the book Volatile Bodies by the acclaimed feminist author Elizabeth Grosz.

In 2009, Emanat co-produced with Tanzquartier Wien and Siemens Arts Programme an ad-hoc theatre project by the Belgian director Marijs Boulougne Marzipan or Plexi and produced the project Sugar Rush, which was supported by the European Cultural Foundation.



Dance-theatre productions

So far, Emanat has produced a wide range of performances, including the extremely successful dance-theatre performance Expensive Darlings [Drage, drage] (2007), choreographed by Delak, which problematises the status of contemporary dance in Slovenia and the larger production Serata Artistica Giovanille, inspired by the Futurist event by Ferdo Delak from 1926. For these two productions and the 2009 Ways of Love (Une façon d'aimer) with Luka Prinčič, Delak received the 2010 Prešeren Foundation Award. In its productions, Emanat often collaborates with the City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts (HI-RES, Expensive Darlings, Sugar Rush). Emanat also produces works by emerging authors of contemporary dance, such as Matija Ferlin, Urška Vohar, etc.

Work in dance education

Emanat also manages the AGON Programme (previously organised within En-Knap Productions), an informal training programme for education, research, and self-development in the performing arts held in Ljubljana and led by Maja Delak, an experienced arts educator. AGON Programme has offered several high-quality dance workshops, led by Lisa Nelson, Mark Tompkins and Nuno Rebelo, David Zambrano, Martin Kilvady, and others, as well as dramaturgy workshops, given by Mark Franko, Katja Praznik, and Igor Dobričić.

Emanat also produces the annual final presentation of students and graduates of the module for contemporary dance at the secondary school Pre-School Education and Grammar School, Ljubljana. The project Pre-Première was launched in 2003 and presents a valuable opportunity to the students to present their work under the mentorship of renowned Slovene dance makers to wider audiences.

Emanat Institute participates in a network of 12 European dance educators who run a 2 year pilot project called International Documentation of Contemporary Dance Education with an aim to develop and document best practices of contemporary dance education. In May 2012 Maja Delak holds dance lessons at the K3 Zentrum für Choreographie, Tanzplan Hamburg. The IDOCDE symposium will take place during ImPulsTanz Vienna International Dance Festival in Summer 2013.

Transitions book series

Emanat's small, but interesting, publishing programme aims to publish original and translated works that inform or connect with the field of performing arts. The Transitions [Prehodi] series includes Slovenian translations of books such as The Ignorant Schoolmaster by Jacques Rancière, Touching Feeling by Eve Sedgwick, Ways of Seeing by John Berger, as well as other titles relating to different aspects of the field of contemporary dance, while the Transitions - XS Series includes the translation of Sarah Kane's Crave and the selected writings by Lisa Nelson Tuning Scores.
