As a rule, the curatorial team is always thrilled about an extended notion of choreographic work (production), or when noticing the characteristics of choreographic procedures, forms and embodiments in the works of other art media, disciplines and practices. Such works are regularly featured in our programme, given that they destabilise our established notions on what choreographic or dance work should or should not be.

Following its première in Ljubljana, we immediately included the experimental film Don’t Think It Will Ever Pass by composer, musician, curator and versatile artist Tomaž Grom in this year’s programme. The film is made using procedures of »dance for camera,« the shots evoke a distinct presence of the body that filmed it – even if the cameraman does not appear, he plays a major role in the film. The kinetic dynamics of the shots act on the viewer’s senses as choreography (in a distinctly kinaesthetic way), and the structure of the film spins up the metabolism so much that everything starts to revolve around its axis. An outstanding example of cinematic choreography.
