Jasna L. Vinovrški, Public in Private

Healers

Open Spaces | Tanzfabrik Berlin / Wedding

Production Details / Press Releases

The “Healers” team is on a mission to detect and remove the problems, unresolved issues, emotional and energetic stagnations that might have been accumulating in the walls of the space where this performance takes place. In this case, Studio 1 at the premises of Uferstudios is under close examination: What history has this place, and how does it cope with its current function of the theater/performance space?


In this choreographic endeavor, by combining fiction with historical-documentary elements, the ground for subtle humor is being created, that is an artistic gesture with which the desire for different visions and imaginations of the world we live in is called upon.

Jasna L. Vinovrški works as a performer, choreographer and organizer/curator. She grew up in Zagreb but lives and works abroad since the disintegration of Yugoslavia. After moving to Berlin in 2008, together with her partner Clément Layes, she founded the company Public in Private, where the two artists are until today developing separate choreographic signatures, but in close artistic support to each other. publicinprivate.com. In 2012 Jasna gained her MA degree in choreography at the HZT University in Berlin. She has been also strongly engaged in creating alternative platforms for Berlin artists, particularly coming from the dance and performance field. From 2014 – 2017 she co-facilitated and co-organised an art platform at Flutgraben Atelierhouse called 3AM (3am.events). From 2019-2020 she has been co-curating event series at Collegium Hungaricum Berlin and Flutgraben Atelierhouse: Montag Modus Klimata (mmpraxis.com/montag-modus). Since 2019 until today she has been co-organizing the artist platform Flutgraben performances (flutgrabenperformances.org). The last but not the least, Jasna is mother of her two children, Calissa (12) and Alva (2).

Cécile Bally is a Berlin-based choreographer and performer who graduated in dance and choreography at HZT Berlin. She previously studied Economics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the Pantheon Sorbonne University in France and wrote a master thesis in Decision theory on how ideas emerge and develop in dance rehearsal processes. Her artistic work creates connections between these backgrounds and interrogates, with humour, the place of rationality and magical realism in performance. Cécile Bally roots her work in the science-fiction genre with an eye on social criticism, and therefore studies entitites triggering dreams and nightmares, both utopian and dystopian. As a performer she worked with artists such as Clément Layes, Martin Hansen, Alex Martinis Roe and Asaf Aharonson.
 Cécile Bally is a member of BlingBlingRecycling collective and the Breakfast Club. Cécile is part of several Berlin based feminist collectives since 2014.

A production by Public in Private / Jasna L. Vinovrški.
Funded by the Berlin Senatsverwaltung for Culture and Europe, the Croatian Ministry of Culture and the City of Zagreb.
In co-production with Studio contemporary dance company from Zagreb and Tanzfabrik Berlin.

This production is a co-production between Public in Private company from Berlin (publicinprivate.com) and Studio contemporary dance company from Zagreb (ssp.hr). Initially two different “Healers” teams from Berlin and from Zagreb were supposed to work together hand in hand on stage. Due to the corona crisis, the collaboration couldn’t take place as planned and the two teams will perform for now separately. However the work has been created and developed with both teams equally. Also the first draft of this work was made in close collaboration with Darko Dragičević, during the event series Flutgraben performances #1 in 2019.
