Nemogući plesovi
BADco.

Ove (kompozicije) su namjerno teške toliko koliko sam ih mogao načiniti jer smatram da smo okruženi vrlo ozbiljnim problemima u društvu i skloni smo misliti da je situacija beznadna te da je nemoguće učiniti nešto što bi sve okrenulo kako treba. Stoga mislim da ova glazba, koja je gotovo nemoguća, nudi trenutak prakticiranja nemogućeg. John Cage

Nemogući plesovi izvedbeni je rad koji je nastao povodom izložbe posvećene američkom postdramskom kazališnom kolektivu Goat Island i premijerno je izveden u svibnja 2019. u Chicago Center for Culture. Rad je temeljen na dokumentaciji i partiturama sekvence Impossible Dances (Nemogući plesovi) iz predstave Goat Islanda The Sea & Poison i zapisima Johna Cagea uz njegovu kompoziciju Freeman Etudes.

U Nemogućim plesovima autori tragaju za novim oblicima prakticiranja nemogućeg. Nemogućnosti se otvaraju u izvedbenom prevođenju koreografije u koreografiju, zapisa u pokret, pjesništva u izvedbu. Nemogućnosti su nužnosti jer, dok srljamo prema uzavreloj planeti, ništa nije urgentnije od susreta bezbroja nemogućnosti.

BADco. je kolaborativna izvedbena skupina koja radi u Zagrebu. Jezgru skupine čine: Ivana Ivković, Ana Kreitmeyer, Tomislav Medak, Goran Sergej Pristaš, Nikolina Pristaš i Zrinka Užbinec. Od svog osnutka u 2000. godini, BADco. se kroz suradnju troje koreografa/plesača, dvoje dramaturga i jednog filozofa, uz producenta skupine, sistematično bavi istraživanjem protokola izvođenja, predstavljanja i gledanja strukturirajući svoje projekte unutar različitih formalnih i percepcijskih odnosa i sklopova. Rekonfiguracija etabliranih odnosa izvedbe i publike, propitivanje perspektivnih datosti i arhitektonike izvedbe, problematizacija komunikacijskih struktura - sve to čini BADco. međunarodno relevantnim umjetničkim fenomenom i jedinstvenim izvedbenim doživljajem.

Impossible Dances
BADco.

These [compositions] are intentionally as difficult as I can make them, because I think we're now surrounded by very serious problems in the society, and we tend to think that the situation is hopeless and that it's just impossible to do something that will make everything turn out properly. So I think that this music, which is almost impossible, gives an instance of the practicality of the impossible. John Cage

Impossible dances is a performative artwork that was initially created for the exhibition documenting the work of the US postdramatic theatre collective Goat Island and was premiered in May of 2019 at the Chicago Center for Culture. The work draws on the documentation and scores of the "Impossible Dances" sequence from Goat Island's "The Sea & Poison" and John Cage's notes to his "Freeman Etudes".

In "Impossible Dances" authors explored the new ways of practising the impossible. The impossible emerges from the performative process of translation from choreography to choreography, from recording to movement, from poetry to performance. The impossible is necessary because, as we're hurtling toward hothouse Earth, nothing is more urgent that the encounter of a myriad of impossibilities.

BADco. is a collaborative performance collective based in Zagreb, Croatia. The artistic core of the collective are Ivana Ivković, Ana Kreitmeyer, Tomislav Medak, Goran Sergej Pristaš, Nikolina Pristaš and Zrinka Užbinec. As a combination of three choreographers / dancers, two dramaturgs and one philosopher, plus the company's production manager, since its beginning (2000), BADco. systematically focuses on the research of protocols of performing, presenting and observing by structuring its projects around diverse formal and perceptual relations and contexts. Reconfiguring established relations between performance and audience, challenging perspectival givens and architectonics of performance, problematizing of communicational structures – all of that makes BADco. an internationally significant artistic phenomenon and one of the most differentiated performance experiences.
