Melting pot: od ideje do realizacije

Abstract

Performans #MeltingPot kreirali su profesori Baletske škole u Novom Sadu, Mirjana Raić Tepić i Marko Dubovac, a izveli su ih učenici Odseka za narodnu igru i Odseka za savremenu igru srednje Baletske škole u Novom Sadu. Celokupan performans pripremljen je za potrebe festivala/konferencije TradicijaNova, iz 2018. godine, uz podršku Ansambla narodnih igara i pesama Srbije KOLO. Cilj je bio da se tradicionalni plesovi povežu sa savremenim plesom i da se prikažu u obliku koji nije uobičajen za žanr koreografije tradicionalnog plesa u Srbiji. Celokupan performans sastoji se od pet različitih delova, koji imaju odgovarujuću audiovizuelnu pratnju. U ovom izlaganju, ponudićemo tri perspektive tumačenja performansa #MeltingPot. Daćemo glas samim izvođačima – učenicima, gde ćemo kroz njihove narative prikazati iskustveni doživljaj stvaranja ovog performansa. Autorka #MeltingPot-a, Mirjana Raić Tepić, govoriće o ličnoj perspektivi osmišljavanja, ali i postavljanja dela. Na samom kraju, iz antropološke perspektive, ukazaćemo na značaj i dublji smisao performansa, analizirajući narative učenika, profesora, ali i sagledavajući utiske publike i šire javnosti, koji su se javili nakon premijernog izvođenja performansa #MeltingPot.

The #MeltingPot performance was created by professors from the Ballet school in Novi Sad, Mirjana Raić Tepić and Marko Dubovac, and performed by students of the Department of Folk Dance and the Department of Contemporary Dance of the Secondary ballet school in Novi Sad. The entire performance was prepared for the 2018 TraditionAnew festival/conference, with the support of the National Ensemble of Folk Dances and Songs KOLO. The goal was to connect traditional with contemporary dance and to present it in a form that is not common for the traditional dance choreography genre in Serbia. The whole performance consists of five different sections, which have adequate audio-visual accompaniment. In this presentation, we will offer three perspectives on the #MeltingPot performance interpretation. We will give voice to perform- ers themselves – the students, and through their narratives we will present the experience of creating this performance. The author of #MeltingPot, Mirjana Raić Tepić, will talk about the personal perspective of designing and setting a piece. At the end, from an anthropological perspective, we will point out the importance and deeper meaning of the perfor- mance, analysing the narratives of students and professors, but also looking at impressions of audience and wider public, after the #MeltingPot performance premiere.
