STORYTIME - Last November 23, my first choreography premiered ‘upletena kroz vreme’. Woven through time. We have been busy with all the preparations for 2 years and I am very proud of what we have shown!! All inspiration and material comes from ANIP "Veselin Masleša" , those who preserve their folklore so authentic
and may have passed that on to me. This is also the place I met through Guus, who also gave me this opportunity to create my choreography at our ensemble !! Dances and songs from North Bosnia, (pod)Grmeč and Potkozarje. My favorite dances, earthy, pure and authentic. We made all the costumes ourselves. Years of research into original costumes, visits to costume-rooms there, buying yarn and woolen socks in Banja Luka, obtaining original patterns for embroidery (zmijanski vez itself is on the UNESCO world heritage list). All those people who helped me with patterns, embroidery, sewing and putting it all together! THANK YOU/HVALA!! With big thanks to .v.m who very
put a lot of work into all the costumes (and eternal patience with everything I prepared at home). Special thanks to the (guest) dancers who wanted to do this, thanks to , , .knezevic , .v31 and everyone there! Thanks to my father who, in a real sheep’s coat with an original tamburica trozica, musically accompanied the entire choreo on his own! Also a thank you to myself who always dares to follow her heart. And the biggest thanks of course to ! What a journey it was. Are you enjoying the beautiful photos with me?
