Traditional Croatian Dance - Kolo Dance - the
Circle Dance
The circle dance Kolo is one of the basic forms of Croatian folk dance.
Because of its simplicity, the Kolo, a circular form of dance in which the
dancers follow each other around in the circle, is unusually widespread and
can even be called a general human phenomenon.
The circle dance is regarded as the oldest form of dance, manifesting a
marked need for expression of community. Throughout a large part of Croatia
right up until World War II, and in some places as late as the 1950s, the
Kolo had been the centre of village social life.
The Kolo as a dance and as a social gathering was the main place at which
young women and men could get to know each other, express mutual liking,
make pledges of brotherhood and sisterhood, and also provided an opportunity
for mockery and social criticism.
Through the singing of jocular verses during the performance of the Kolo,
everyone was able to express his or her feelings, to approach anyone
present, to disclose misbehavior, to mock a male or female opponent, and to
criticize recent events in the village. By singing, movement, and gestures
one could express what was proscribed in ordinary speech. Culturenet

Croatian Dance Company
BADco
BADco. was founded in 2000 while some of the authors worked
together on the project Confessions in Theatre &TD. It was
founded as a non-profit organization to produce collaborative
performance work. So far the group has produced the following
performances: Man.Chair (2000), 2tri4 (2001), Diderot's Nephew
or Blood is Thicker than Water (2001), Solo Me (2002), RibCage
(2002), Walk This Way (2003), Mass (for Election Day Silence)
(2003), Deleted Messages (2004) and Fleshdance (2004)
BADco. is a Zagreb-based
collaborative performance group. The core of the group are:
Pravdan Devlahović, Ivana Ivković, Ana Kreitmeyer, Tomislav
Medak, Goran Sergej Pristaš, Nikolina Pristaš, Ivana Sajko.
Other collaborators: Aleksandra Janeva, Oliver Frljić, Goran
Petercol, Silvio Vujičić, Helge Hinteregger, Miljenko Bengez,
Oliver Imfeld, Marko Sančanin, Jelena Vukmirica and many others.
The artistic work of BADco. is not so marked by the choice of
subject matter as it is by the production of various problematic
aspects of working in/as collaboration i.e. through specific
ways of self-organization of the authors involved in a
particular project during the process of work. Authors see their
performances as performance machines which can enter various
referential contexts such as social, political, intimate, dance
and artistic contexts in general. Instead of thematic naming
which stands closer to the traditional ideas of theatre the
group prefers thinking in terms of eventility. Some key words
for our thematic interest are: vitalism, virus material,
collective, flesh vs. body, strategies of observing.
Sodaberg Dance
Company
Sodaberg is a dance company, choreographic laboratory and art
organization, based in Zagreb which gathers artists from a
different fields of contemporary dance production and further.
Sodaberg dedicates its forces to a constant re-evaluation of the
actual artistic work action as well as actual thinking process
around it as well as re-evaluation of the dedication process
itself. In its very name, Sodaberg stands simultaneously for a
wide variety of functions; from the dance company over
organization of authors, to the thinking field, blog, activation
platform, brand, opera production office or whatever is needed
to fulfill the most present time artistic occupation. It is a
Question of Desire that we are driven by, in a constant
redefinition of our very definition - post contemporary, post
political, post esthetical and post activistic we are determent
to use every technology as well as technique that we find is the
most intriguing for the producement of the contemporaneity
itself.
Sodaberg is founded in 2005 by choreographer and dancer Marjana
Krajač with the support of choreographers, authors and
theoreticians: Nensi Lazić, Selma Banich and Andrej Mirčev.
Sound designers Darius Gall and Guido Henneböhl as well as a
video artist Anna Safary are also regular support to a creation
and research.
Sodaberg co-operates and works with numerous artists, authors,
theoreticians and the involved ones in the Croatian as well as
European contemporary dance scene. We thank everybody for lively
and constructive cooperation.
