1979 in 1980 sta osmi in deveti avtorski projekt Janežičeve Dodekalogije 1972–1983, največjega umetniškega projekta Evropske prestolnice kulture Nova Gorica – Gorica. Predstavi, ki se igrata v paru, sta predstavi o spominu, odraščanju in ljudeh iz majhne vasice, ki postane križišče življenjskih usod.

Predstavi 1979 in 1980 sta transgeneracijska dokumentarna fikcija, ki temelji na osebnih zgodbah ustvarjalk in ustvarjalcev. Gre za zgodbe iz sedemdesetih let, ki raste iz takratnih stanovanj, zgodbo, povezane s številnimi lokalnimi in globalnimi dogodki, ki goriško povezujejo z različnimi drugimi kraji po svetu. Sta del gledališke Dodekalogije 1972–1983 (v okviru projekta Destin(y)ation / Dotik usode), celoletnega gledališkega omnibusa, sestavljenega iz dvanajstih projektov, ki v režiji Tomija Janežiča nastajajo ali so že nastali v Novi Gorici, Ljubljani, Temišvaru, Ivano-Frankivsku, Novem Sadu in pod okriljem Ustvarjalnega centra Krušče. Dodekalogija orisuje mrežo življenjskih usod, ki se raztezajo skozi čas in so jih zaznamovali potovanja in selitve. Predvsem pa je to omnibus o gledališču samem.

»Ježek trak« je bil izumljen med drugo svetovno vojno v Švici. Medtem, ko so se drugje po Evropi pobijali med seboj, je neki gospod hodil na izlete v gore s svojim psom, nabiral rože in gobe. Ko se je vrnil domov, je opazil, da se mu je nekaj prijelo na oblačila, pa tudi dlaka njegovega psa je bila polna tega. Bil je osat. Zakaj se je prijel na oblačila?

Predstavljajte si luksuz, da v času, ko Hitler napada Rusijo, v miru sedeš in pogledaš cvet osata pod mikroskopom. Na tem cvetu so bili majhni kavlji in človek je pomislil: »Morda lahko naredim umetne kavlje, takšne, ki jih ima osat.« Potreboval je več kot deset let, da je ustvaril »ježka«, kakršnega poznamo danes.

Patentiral ga je in patent je potekel leta 1979. Tako so od leta 1980 naprej »ježka« začeli videvati povsod. Ampak nekdo ga je imel že v petdesetih, ko je bil še skoraj neznan. In baje je temu človeku spremenil življenje.

Theatre director Tomi Janežič (European Certificate of Psychodrama) holds a post as a Full Professor of Theatre Directing. He is also a psychodrama psychotherapist and an internationally acclaimed expert in the field of acting, who has explored applications of psychodrama techniques to artistic and art-pedagogical processes for many years.

PSYCHODRAMA
Psychodrama is a worldwide well-known and established action group psychotherapeutic method, developed by Jacob Levy Moreno.

The basic characteristic of psychodrama is the stage enactment of the inner world and life situations of the participants.Members of the group can explore their experience of the present, the past and the vision of the future, situations that occurred (or could had, but did not), spoken and unspoken thoughts and feelings, desires, fantasies, dreams. They can confront/encounter people from the past, resolve and complete relations, discover their own limitations and potentials, meet with their emotions and learn how to express themselves freely.In psychodrama inaccessible sources of psyche and interpersonal relationships become more accessible to consciousness and the possibility of change. Through psychodrama the patterns of behavior become enlightened, the nature of relationship clarifies, real needs are being revealed, which leads to a better understanding of ourselves and others.Psychodrama provides participants with support and a safe environment in which they can train new, more effective roles and behavior that fosters personal growth, integration of cognitive, emotional and behavioral personality level, it increases awareness and consciousness, empathy, social interaction and group cohesion and productivity. It is suitable for establishing better communication skills, stress reduction, work with trauma and other mental health problems.
Psychodrama encourages creative thinking to enable an individual to take the initiative and find a suitable and good-enough response to a new, unfamiliar situation, as well as a new and better response to a situation that is repeating.
Moreno worked in the field of psychology (he studied medicine and theology in Vienna and was a contemporary of Freud, inspired by the ideas of Martin Buber, philosopher of dialogue) as well as in the field of theatre (he founded the theatre of spontaneity – Stegreif theater).
The epitaph on his gravestone reads: “J. L. Moreno, the man who brought laughter to psychiatry.”

In psychodrama any adult person who wants to encounter herself/himself and others through play, is welcome, regardless of age or profession. No special acting skills are required for it.

Gibanica – the biennial of contemporary dance arts in Slovenia starts next week. Events will take place between 6th and 10th May at various venues. The opening picnic and two reprises of the performances A HOUSE A HOME will take place on Tuesday, May 6th at Krušče Creative Centre. We are looking forward to welcoming the Gibanica team, the artists, their collaborators, volunteers and international guests. Fingers crossed that the weather will also be kind to us. You can find more info about the festival and its program here: https://gibanica.info

SATURDAY, MARCH 15th AT 8pm AT Ustvarjalni center Krušče – Krušče Creative Center.

“In the solo work A House A Home, Katja Legin creates a lucid image of family life, domestic routine and longing. She analyses everyday life from a woman’s perspective with subtle humour and irony, dabbling in the absurdity of everyday banal situations, melodramatic tones and self-referentiality in relation to her own position and the artistic process itself. In bringing together choreography with theatrical context, cinematic principles and the aesthetics of mid-20th century popular culture, she stitches together the personal struggles of the actual with the real and the fictional, embodying the figure of (thousands of) women; emotional, melancholic, at times irrational, but also grounded and powerful. Framed in different roles, but not victims. Legin imbues feelings of entrapment with vividness, freedom and beauty.”

(Justification of the selectors of this year’s Gibanica Ingrida Gerbutavičiūtė and Nika Arhar when choosing the show for the biennale 2025.)

Because we have limited amount of seats, we ask you to reserve your place at info@krusce.si.

New dates for the performance A House A Home by Katja Legin are:

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5TH AT 8PM – CANCLED!

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH AT 8PM

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14TH AT 8PM

As always one needs to reserve the “seat” for the performance through our email info@krusce.si. We are already accepting the reservations. You can read an excerpt from the article by Maša Radi Buh about the performance below or follow the link and read the whole text (https://www.neodvisni.art/refleksija/2024/06/dvojnosti-umetelne-prisotnosti/).

Katja’s current choreographic interest or language in the performance A House A Home from previous appearances has transformed in such a way that this time it has extracted and condensed certain interests that we could already perceive there, as she leans heavily on performativity and mise en scene, which is close to theatre arts. But this is by no means an emergency solution, or a seeking refuge in representational models that are more accessible to the spectator or more readily understandable because of their rich signing; no, on the contrary, the artifice of the theatrical or cinematic seems to give her the freedom to explore or make sense of movement practice and interests, and to establish a visual and, not least, an affective contrast that most successfully produces a problem, a problem that is transformed into a choreographic language. In the end, what distinguishes the performance A House A Home is that Katja brings us close, but not only close, to her intimacy, a practice that is not alien to the performing arts, and is often even a safe tool for the production of content and material. Katja lets us in close because she shares with us her unknowing, her uncertainty, because at the end of the performance it does not seem that all these questions are answered or that Katja can draw clear and relieving conclusions that would relieve her of her burdens. After all, at the end of the performance, we leave the theatre through the door and find ourselves in the kitchen/dining room of the family house, the children arrive from upstairs and the end of the event consumes the life of this house, which is a life that crosses the boundaries of work and home.

There will for sure be some changes, nice surprises and exciting add ons in the program.

“Perhaps the best key to entering the multi-layered performance is provided by the element that at first seems the most arbitrary in its inclusion, an excerpt from Opening Night (1977) projected on the screen. Nowhere in the film is it explicitly explained, but the judiciously chosen excerpt quickly clarifies Legin’s interest. Director John Cassavetes, with his partner and actress Gena Rowlands, made films that were more attentive to women’s experience of the world than his contemporaries. Rowlands herself, however, never glossed over the latter – tragic as they were – in her approach to creating and embodying her characters. Instead of playing them as victims, she imbued them all with the dignity that unenviable situations deserve. Like Legin, she found strength in powerlessness.”
(Dancing behind the bars of expectations, Metod Zupan, Kritika, 15.1. 2024)

little festival of psychodrama will also be happening this year! And we know when. As always in August. 13th to 17th. Tuesday to Saturday.

We will be sharing more info about the program, guests and applications when the real spring arrives. We are looking forward to the summer time in Krušče with everyone who will be returning and all the people who might join this season for the first time.

ARTISTIC GROUP RESIDENCY is intended for groups of artists who work together, artistic groups or collectives who would like to dedicate their time solely to the artistic work they are pursuing. Krušče Creative Center provides an inspiring space where a group of artists can live and work together surrounded by nature and in good working condition.
We invite groups and collectives who are in the beginning of the process, in the phase of brainstorming or research as well as those who are already deep into the work and need some focused time to finalise it.
The spaces we can offer are the most suitable for performative arts, but can also be of use for any other art mediums.
We do not expect any forms of presentation or sharing of the work in the time of the residency, though that can be arranged if the artists desires so.

SPRING GROUP RESIDENCIES can happen from April 21st to June 21st 2024, they can last from minimum 4 days to up to 3 weeks.

For info and application: info@krusce.si
