After graduating from [[Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory]] and the Rosella Hightower Dance Centre in Cannes, France, [[Mateja Bučar]] became a member of the [[Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana]] and subsequently a member of [[Dance Theatre Ljubljana]].

In developing her dance works, Mateja Bučar regularly collaborates with philosophers and theorists [[Renata Salecl]] and Robert Phaller, alongside visual artist [[Vadim Fiskin]] and a number of established contemporary dancers, such as [[Magdalena Reiter]], [[Katja Legin]], [[Maja Kalafatić]], [[Kaja Lorenci]], etc. Since 2010, she has been developing urban choreographies (''Green Light'', ''The Unnoticed'', ''Green Table'', ''Dual - Dancers Without Answers'') in co-production with [[Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture]].
