Masterclass with Petra Hrašćanec as part of the project "eclectic of otherness"

The masterclass workshop by Petra Hrašćanec took place as part of the Creative Europe project titled “Eclectic of Otherness,” which is a collaborative initiative involving three artistic organizations from Serbia, France, and Croatia. The workshop was held to continue the research phase of the development of a theater performance, specifically the authorial project of director and actor Romano Nikolić and dramaturge Dorotea Šušak.
The workshop was held at Lauba – a house for people and art on November 4th and 5th, 2023. 
Through structured and improvisational tasks, participants explored artistic and human potentials, engaging in performance work and the idea of witnessing/voyeurism, as well as the complex of non-performance, or non-doing.
PETRA HRAŠĆANEC works in the field of performing arts as a dancer, choreographer, and educator. Her primary area of interest and education is contemporary dance, and her works are characterized by exploring the body as a reality of performance through various mediums. As a performer, in addition to her own works, she collaborates as an external member of the WEE COMPANY led by choreographer Francesco Scavette, based in Norway. She choreographs her works through the artistic organization 21:21 (where she is one of the artistic directors) or partner organizations in collaboration with Croatian institutions (Theatre &TD, Zagreb Youth Theatre, Pogon Jedinstvo, Zagreb Dance Center). Since 2013, she has been teaching Contemporary Dance Technique at the Dance Department of the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. From 2009 to 2020, she was the artistic director of the solo Monoplay festival in Zadar. Petra Hrašćanec’s works have been presented at renowned European dance festivals and theater institutions such as Rencontres Choreographiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis in Paris, Impulstanz in Vienna, UOVO festival in Milan, La Jette Dance Center in Brussels, Les Subsistances in Lyon, Theatre de la Bastille in Paris, and others.
