{{Teaser|
The [[Moment Arts and Culture Association]], usually addressed as KUD Moment, was established in [[established::2006]] as a not-for-profit organisation that engages in various genres of performing arts, from research-based theatre to puppetry and dance. 
}}

==Background==
When the [[GT22]] collaborative cultural centre was set up in 2012 in the Maribor city centre, at Glavni trg 22, KUD Moment found its domicile right there. An ex-nightclub was transformed into the [[Intimate Stage, GT22|Intimate Stage]], a theatre space for around 50 spectators. The newly established programme has focused on research-based theatre productions, visiting performances and educational programmes, bringing together artists and audiences.

==Programme ==

KUD Moment productions are realised through different production models and formats, through research, experimentation, learning, and (self-)critique. The association regularly enters into co-productions with [[GT22]] as well as with other Slovene arts institutions, such as [[En-Knap Productions]], [[Mini Theatre]], [[Dance Theatre Ljubljana]] or [[Maribor Puppet Theatre]]. KUD Moment produces the ''Hero'' cycle of performances by [[Uroš Kaurin]] and [[Vito Weiss]]; their ''Hero 2.0 The Show of All Shows'', co-produced by [[En-Knap Productions]], won the [[Borštnik Ring Award and Borštnik Awards|Borštnik Award]] for acting at the 2018 [[Maribor Theatre Festival]]. The association also produces devised theatre pieces by [[Zoran Petrovič]] which bring together (drama) theatre, puppets, objects and video technology.

After a seven-year hiatus, since 2019, KUD Moment again organises the festival of independent theatre production [[Prestopi/Crossings]], which was first conceived in 2010. 


KUD Moment is one of the partners of the [[Slovene_National_Theatre_Maribor#Prvi_prizor_Educational_programme|First Scene arts educational programme]], run by the [[Slovene National Theatre Maribor]], and participates in the project ŠtudenTeater (StudenTheatre), aimed at encouraging and facilitating artistic production amongst students who are not studying acting at the [[Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT)]]. Its partners in the latter programme are [[Glej Theatre]], the [[Slovene National Theatre Nova Gorica]], [[GT22]] and the [[Public Fund for Cultural Activities of the Republic of Slovenia]].
