ABOUT
The project Pre-Premiere is an annual final presentation of graduates and other students of SVŠGL (Pre-School Education and Grammar School – module contemporary dance) which emerged in 2003 in Ljubljana and presents one of the school activities. The final production presents four classes of students under the mentorship of their teachers, renowned Slovenian contemporary dancers, choreographers and directors: Maja Delak, Petra Pikalo, Nataša Tovirac, Nataša Berce, Mojca Dimec Bogdanovski, Irena Tomažin, Gregor Luštek, Mojca Bandelj, Urška Vohar in Vlasta Veselko. The artistic leader of the project comprehensively and aesthetically rounds up individual dances and connects solos and group choreographies into a contemporary and quality artistic evening with a recognizable artistic expression, which surpasses the mere form of a high school production. In 2009 the young dancers (aged 14 to 19) tackled this year’s graduation theme, with a working title Opposites – today’s perspective on the beginnings of contemporary dance, and attempted to view the opposites as a dynamics of relations within smaller social units, as well as through a wider perspective, with linking the problematic to contemporary dance in its beginnings both in Slovenia and abroad.
