NAM ChoreoLab
Blind Spots and Placeholders: Re-Aligning Non-Alignment
Viktorija Ilioska, Sonja Pregrad, Dražen Dragojević
NAM ChoreoLab is a modular research choreography lab with the aim of re-reading the Non-Aligned Movement/s – by way of the historicism AND futurism of the ‘days of future past’ as well as the urgency of the current alignments and antagonisms, in relation to the on-going (queer) feminist and decolonial critiques and struggles, also the political and cultural, ultimately choreographic (self)governance.

Co-Teaching
Rok Vevar, Dejan Srhoj, discollective, Gisela Müller
Co-Teaching is an educational format in which two, three, or more pedagogues co-teach the same dance training or a workshop. The format is developed by the members of the NDA network and other invited guests. The rules of Co-Teaching are determined by a choreographic score which is adaptable to the particular situation, group of students and the task we have set ourselves. The score may include the goal of the training, time, the number of teachers, as well as other information which would facilitate a clear and at the same time playful situation. The focus of the Berlin Co-Teaching will be on examining elements of dance practice and theory of the 60’s postmodern dance and finding its relevance today.
