at the ZOOM Festival
Maska Productions
Maska Productions produces performances and other interdisciplinary performing arts events by innovative, exploring artists as well as first projects of the youngest generation. The performances range from engaged interdisciplinary performances tackling issues, such as identity, intimacy, (Slovene) political reality, and mass entertainment to more genre dance works. Recently Janez Janša made reconstructions of founding performances of experimental Slovene theatre from the 60s (Pupilia Papa Pupilo and the Pupilčeks (Pupilija papa pupilo in pupilčki) (2006), awarded at the 41st Bitef in Belgrade, and Monument G (2009)). His Slovene National Theatre [Slovensko narodno gledališče) (2008) won the award for innovation and aesthetic breakthrough at 43rd Borštnik Theatre Festival 2008. Irena Tomažin received the Golden Bird Award 2006 for her performance Caprice [Kaprica], co-produced by the City of Women festival. Maska also produced work by Ivan Peternelj, Magdalena Reiter, Mare Bulc, Neda R. Bric, etc.). Maska's productions regularly appear the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance. We Are All Marlene Dietrich FOR (2005) was a Maska's co-production with Iceland Dance Company, in collaboration with Reykjavik Arts Festival. The project received an EU grant as a part of Trans Danse Europe 2003-2004. Yasminne Hugonet's Of Other (O drugem) (2007) was co-produced by Synalephe (France), the French Cultural Institute Charles Nodier, Ljubljana, and City Museum of Ljubljana.
In 2008 Maska organised the East Dance Academy, a project aimed at interdisciplinarity and strong social contextualization of artistic production. The event included reconstructed performances, screenings of dance and performances from 60s and 70s, live archiving, debates, and lectures. With the project, Maska introduced the platform ARTCHIVE – Contaminated with History, a one-year programme intended to historicization of contemporary performing arts in Eastern Europe. East Dance Academy is part of the international project What to Affirm What to Perform?, a cooperation between Allianz Kulturstiftung, Centre for Drama Art Zagreb, The National Center of Dance Bucharest, and Tanzquartier Wien.
The 2009 event Shocking Gala Show, marking the 40th anniversary of the emergence of experimental theatre group Pupilija Ferkeverk, included performances, exhibitions, a conference, and lectures (among others by Hans-Thies Lehmann, Ramsey Burt. The events were financed also through Erste Stiftung, Allianz Kulturstiftung, and the European Cultural Foundation (ECF).
Visual and intermedia production includes co-productions with Cona Institute and Intima Virtual Base, whose project "Oppera Internettikka Bollywooddikka", co-produced by Maska, was performed live in in New Delhi, India, in the frame of the CeC & CaC - The Carnival of e-Creativity & Change-Agents Conclave, presented by The Academy of Electronic Arts and The India International Centre in 2006.
Maska's latest productions were on tour in numerous European countries, USA, Asia and Africa.
Since 2009 Maska also runs the rehearsal space in Šenjakob's former elementary school Šentjakob at the suburbs of Ljubljana. The space offers two small rooms for rehearsals, meetings, and lectures.
Maska Publishing
Maska is engaged in publishing books related to the broadest area of contemporary performing arts, from theatre, opera, contemporary dance and new ballet to performance, multimedia and new-media art.
- The TRANSformations book series (TRANSformacije) covers contemporary performing arts theory, introducing some new terminology and conceptual frameworks by Slovene or foreign authors, including titles such as Hans-Thies Lehmann's Postdramatic Theatre, Amelia Jones' Body Art. Performing the Subject, co-published by Študentska založba Publishing House, Nicolas Bourriaud's Relational Aesthetics and Postproduction, Bojana Kunst's Dangerous Connections, Alexei Monroe's Plural Monolith. Laibach and NSK, Jacques Attali's Noise, Aldo Milohnić's Theories of Contemporary Theatre and Performance Art, etc.
- The Mediactions book series (Mediakcije) introduces critical writing on media and society. The series brought translations of New Watchdogs by Serge Halimi, followed by Naomi Klein’s No logo, and Monopoly by Sandra B. Hrvatin and Lenart J. Kučič, dealing with the issue of ownership in Slovene media. Includes also A Hacker Manifesto by McKenzie Wark, Mike Davis' Buda's Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb, and Ariel Dorfmann's and Armand Mattelart's How to Read Donald Duck.
Special issues include books related to performance practise and its reflection, such as Janez Janša - Life [in Progress], containing 55 instructions from the performance and exhibition of the same title and is accompanied with critical writing, Marcel Stefančič's Janez Janša: Biography (in Slovene), and two joint issues of Maska journal with the Croatian journal for performing arts Frakcija and Performance Research.
In 2008, Maska launched the project Library Under the Trees, where you can borrow Maska’s editions and enjoy the books and journals for free. The Library is located in the meadow by the Tivoli Lake in Park Tivoli, Ljubljana.
Maska Magazine
The performing arts journal Maska (in English: The Mask) is a successor to the modernist magazine of the same name launched in 1920 (for more on the journal's history see Janez Janša's text below). In 1993 the publication of the journal was taken over by Institute Maska, bringing critical reflection on current productions (domestic and international), texts about the key reformers of the twentieth-century scene, and translations of contemporary theoretical texts. Since 2002, the bilingual (English and Slovene) journal appears three times a year and is mostly topic-related. So far over 50 theoreticians and writers have written for the journal. For a detailed overview see Maska Magazine.
Maska Symposium
Maska Symposium's basic project is the Seminar of Contemporary Performing Arts, co-organised by Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre. Seminar is an all year programme, with lectures by internationally acclaimed scholars, artists, and writers. The 2009/2010 seminar takes place under the heading Artistic and Social Assemblage of Bodies: Contemporary Performing Arts and the Powerlessness of the Political, including lectures, talks, debates, workshops, etc.. Previous seminars discussed topics, such as historization of contemporary performing arts, dance dramaturgy procedures, parallel practices of contemporary art, etc.. Maska's Symposium is led by the theoretician and dramaturge Bojana Kunst.
Maska regularly organises workshops and lectures connected to dramaturgy of dance in collaboration with international experts in the field of contemporary performing arts. Thus in 2009, it has prepared dramaturgical advising by Elke van Campenhout, a Belgian dramaturge and researcher in the field of art, Ivana Ivković, a dramaturge, and Toni Cots, a choreographer of L'Animal A L'Esquena, Spain. The sessions encourage open and critical dialogue on dramaturgical questions that arise during the creative process. In 2008 and on, the participants of the seminar are taking part in the productions and projects of Ukrep Festival, organised by Ljubljana Dance Theatre (PTL).
In June 2009, Maska's Symposium organised a panel Difficulties With Contemporaneity. On Historicization Processes in Contemporary Performing Arts in the frame of the 15the Performance Studies International Conference, held in Zagreb, Cratia, the purpose of which was to reflect on the processes of historicization in contemporary performing arts which were analysed through theoretical reflections, presentations of working methods, and artistic research. The panel was part of Maska's one-year programme East Dance Academy and the project ARTCHIVE - Contaminated with History.
