Treating contemporary dance and theatre performances as a starting point – yet not an end in itself  – the [[Federacija Institute]] is a quite peculiar production house. Established in [[established::2009]], it is used as a means to refresh the established formats of performance practices as well as to experiment with socially innovative artistic projects.

Primarily involved in dance and performing arts production, [[Federacija Institute]] was founded in [[established::2009]] by Gregor Kamnikar, Andreja Podrzavnik, and Snježana Premuš as a continuation of the activities of OPS! Institute. OPS! was established in 1997 with the aim to form an organisation-production group, which would formulate and invent new strategies of contemporary art production which are not limited to a specific perspective, approach, content, network, and alike.

As its first project, Federacija presented the exhibition ''Project Darinka Novak'', which featured documentary materials of events (interactive installations) that actually never took place. ''Darinka Novak'' was a performative project spanning a period of three years (2007–2010) which analysed the socio-political context and personal motives that allow or prevent the development of certain forms of artistic expression through various actions, workshops, discussions, and meetings. Within the frame of the project, in 2007 and 2008 OPS! organised a series of discussions, lectures, and performances on new Slovene dance, called ''U3P'' which took place in [[Celica Hostel]]. ''Darinka Novak'' was concluded with a publication published by Federacija entitled ''The Book'' [Knjiga], which included documentation about this performative event and other contributions. The exhibition was co-produced by [[Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture]] and [[Aksioma Institute]].

Exploring various strategies of contemporary art production, OPS! collaborated with numerous Slovene festivals and venues.

Numerous projects have taken place under the wing of Federacija. While most of them feature the core crew of about a dozen artists, works by other performers (coming from abroad as well) are frequently produced. Their venues of choice are often the [[Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station]] and the [[Španski borci Culture Centre]], yet their works take place elsewhere as well.

They have ventured into a number of artistic media, film and books included, as well as into theory. In the realm of the latter, Federacija has co-published a book (with the [[Maska Institute]]), titled ''Collective improvisation from Theatre to Film and Beyond'' and written by [[Sonja Vilč]] and in 2020, the book ''Poiesis of the Self'', based on the performance and movement research undertaken by [[Snježana Premuš]] and [[Rok Vevar]] was issued in English and Slovenian versions.  
  
The year 2011 has been marked by Gregor Kamnikar's collaboration with Slovene-based Japanese artist Ryuzo Fukuhara. In February the two toured Japan as part of the longterm project ''Ecollectiv'' [Tkolektivnos] which examines improvisation in art and everyday life. In March and April 2011 Federacija presented the project ''39 Exercises for Dying'', a series of 39 dance performances by the 39-year-old dance artist Gregor Kamnikar, each lasting 39 minutes. The project was conceived as a farewell to the artist and his artistic identity.

In 2013, the collective absorbed (or merged with) the [[Kolektiv Narobov]], with whom they organised the [[Naked Stage International Improvisational Theatre Festival]].
  
==Activity of OPS!==
 
Gregor Kamnikar has collaborated as a choreographer with [[Dance Studio Intakt]], [[Intima Virtual Base]], Drama Theatre Pazardžik and Theatre of New Forms (Bulgaria) since 1990. OPS! has produced several dance/physical theatre performances in Kamnikar's choreography, for example, ''Open from to (Commoveo 0.3.1)'' [Odprto od do (Commoveo 0.3.1)], which was presented several times in Croatia and at the [[Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance]] in 2009, as well as performances of works by some other choreographers (''Cocoon'' [Kokon] (2002) and ''Lalabaj'' (2003) by Nataša Tovirac).
 
  
In March 2003 OPS! produced the Touch of Dutch Festival at [[Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre]] in collaboration with Theatre in a Suitcase from Bulgaria and Max Wagener Stichting from Amsterdam. In 2005 OPS! collaborated as a co-producer in the international project ''Julie!'', a physical adaptation of Strindberg’s classic piece, together with Theatre Giljotin, Stockholm, and the ProRodopi Foundation, Bulgaria. During 2006–2007 OPS! developed a special project at [[Tovarna Rog]] using contempoary dance as a base of experimentation and research in physical intelligence, resulting in trainings, lectures, jam-sessions and interactive performances.

===Workshops===
  
OPS! also co-produced the puppet performance/concert ''Voice'' [Glas], produced by [[Priden Možic Cultural Association]]. In addition it produced two puppet performances by the composer and musician Peter Kus, namely ''Tristan Vox'' (2006) and ''The King Hearkens'' [Kralj prisluškuje], based on the story by Italo Calvino. This performance was co-produced by [[Cankarjev dom]] and has appeared in numerous home and international festivals, such as Welser Figurentheaterfestival, Austria; Festival of Children's Theatres, Serbia; and the 2009 [[Slovene Puppetry Biennial]], where it has received awards for animation, original concept, and puppet technique.

Treating contemporary dance and theatre performances as a starting point – yet not an end in itself – the Federacija Institute is a quite peculiar production house. Established in 2009, it is used as a means to refresh the established formats of performance practices as well as to experiment with socially innovative artistic projects.



Background

The institute was founded by the artists Gregor Kamnikar, Andreja Podrzavnik and Snježana Premuš as a continuation of the activities of the OPS! Institute, established in 1997.

Exploring various strategies of contemporary art production, OPS! collaborated with numerous Slovene festivals and venues. It participated in a number of international projects with, for example, the Drama Theatre Pazardžik (BG), the Theatre of New Forms (BG), the Touch of Dutch Festival (NL), the Theatre in a Suitcase (BG), the Welser Figurentheaterfestival (AT) and the Festival of Children's Theatres (RS).

Projects

Numerous projects have taken place under the wing of Federacija. While most of them feature the core crew of about a dozen artists, works by other performers (coming from abroad as well) are frequently produced. Their venues of choice are often the Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station and the Španski borci Culture Centre, yet their works take place elsewhere as well.

They have ventured into a number of artistic media, film and books included, as well as into theory. In the realm of the latter, Federacija has co-published a book (with the Maska Institute), titled Collective improvisation from Theatre to Film and Beyond and written by Sonja Vilč and in 2020, the book Poiesis of the Self, based on the performance and movement research undertaken by Snježana Premuš and Rok Vevar was issued in English and Slovenian versions.

In 2013, the collective absorbed (or merged with) the Kolektiv Narobov, with whom they organised the Naked Stage International Improvisational Theatre Festival.


Workshops

Federacija runs a number of different workshops for various age groups. They span from exploring dance in museums to presenting various correspondences between voice and movement.

International activities

In 2017, Federacija embarked on a two-year international project called Our Lives, which includes the creation of 8 new theatre productions and 52 public events (theatre performances, workshops, panels, lectures, etc.) in 18 different EU countries. Hosting artists from all 28 countries of EU, Our Lives explores the diverse ways of living in different countries and the question of their synergies and resonances.

During the Should I stay or should I go? project (2013–2014), 5 theatre companies from Austria, France, Germany, Slovenia and Sweden collectively created performances, workshops, a book and a feature film surrounding the question why people stay in or leave a place. It was conducted by 5 partner organisations: Die Gorillas (DE), Stockholms Improvisationsteater (SE), Combats Absurdes (FR), Theater im Bahnhof Graz (AT) and Kolektiv Narobov, represented by the organisation Federacija Institute Ljubljana (SI).
