EnKnapGroup have collaborated with numerous internationally acclaimed contemporary dance choreographers and theatre directors. One of the main orientations of the group in the first part of its existence was an articulation of different stage genres and poetics, which they undertook by working with renowned choreographers such as [[Matjaž Farič]] in ''Order'' [Ukaz] (2008), [[Andreja Rauch]] in ''Celebration'' [Praznovanje] (2007), Claudia de Serpa Soares in ''Raw'' [Surovo] (2009), [[Mala Kline]] and theatre director [[Tomi Janežič]] in the site-specific project ''Romeo and Public'' [Romeo in publika] (2008).

With its subsequent productions, EnKnapGroup continued to develop and articulate different stage genres and poetics, which resulted in interesting collaborations with different performing arts authors. Thus in 2007, EKG presented the piece ''In-Between'' [Nekje vmes] by Simone Sandroni and Lenka Flory, established choreographers and directors of Deja Donne dance company, and in 2008, the performance ''Decision'' [Ukrep] by the Slovene director [[Sebastijan Horvat]], based on the once "forbidden text" of the same title by Bertolt Brecht. The group's other performances include ''Order'' [Ukaz] (2008) by the renowned Slovene choreographer [[Matjaž Farič]]; ''My Kingdom for a Horse'' [Kraljestvo za konja] (2008) by [[Iztok Kovač]]; the site-specific project ''Romeo and Public'' [Romeo in publika] (2008) by [[Mala Kline]] and the director [[Tomi Janežič]], featuring guest performers, which tackles theatre's conventions and foregrounds the relationship between performer and the public; ''Raw'' [Surovo] (2009) by Claudia de Serpa Soares; and ''Cut Out'' [Črtano] (2009) by the theatre director [[Bojan Jablanovec]] of [[Via Negativa]].

A composition of remarkable dancers under the artistic direction of choreographer Iztok Kovač, EnKnapGroup's work is dedicated to collaborations with innovative, creative authors and production practices and articulations of new approaches to contemporary dance. Over the nine years of its existence, EnKnapGroup has collaborated with 20 choreographers and directors in 30 performances.

Since 2009, the group has its permanent rehearsal spaces at the Španski borci Culture Centre, where they also present their newest works.


Performances and collaborating artists

EnKnapGroup have collaborated with numerous internationally acclaimed contemporary dance choreographers and theatre directors. One of the main orientations of the group in the first part of its existence was an articulation of different stage genres and poetics, which they undertook by working with renowned choreographers such as Matjaž Farič in Order [Ukaz] (2008), Andreja Rauch in Celebration [Praznovanje] (2007), Claudia de Serpa Soares in Raw [Surovo] (2009), Mala Kline and theatre director Tomi Janežič in the site-specific project Romeo and Public [Romeo in publika] (2008).

The group also extensively collaborates with theatre directors, such as Sebastijan Horvat, with whom they have created the performance Decision [Ukrep], based on the once "forbidden text" of the same title by Bertolt Brecht, which was reconstructed in 2013 with the new cast; Bojan Jablanovec of Via Negativa, etc.


The newly established group was formed via two auditions in 2007 and 2010. The group premièred with a performance Celebration [Praznovanje] in September 2007, which was co-created by long-term collaborators of En-Knap: choreographer and dancer Andreja Rauch, film director Sašo Podgoršek, and En-Knap founder and choreographer Iztok Kovač.

In 2007, EKG presented the piece In-Between [Nekje vmes] by Simone Sandroni and Lenka Flory, established choreographers and directors of Deja Donne dance company, and in 2008, the performance Decision [Ukrep] by the Slovene director Sebastijan Horvat, based on the once "forbidden text" of the same title by Bertolt Brecht. The group's other performances include Order [Ukaz] (2008) by the renowned Slovene choreographer Matjaž Farič; My Kingdom for a Horse [Kraljestvo za konja] (2008) by Iztok Kovač; the site-specific project Romeo and Public [Romeo in publika] (2008) by Mala Kline and the director Tomi Janežič, featuring guest performers, which tackles theatre's conventions and foregrounds the relationship between performer and the public; Raw [Surovo] (2009) by Claudia de Serpa Soares; and Cut Out [Črtano] (2009) by the theatre director Bojan Jablanovec of Via Negativa.
