Creative FLIP Learning Lab: REWOVEN REALITIES

Closing Performans: Young Flocks

Thursday, 29 May 18.00
pre-premiere

Friday, 30 May 18.00
premiere

The performance begins at Vovk Garden and ends in the Kokra Canyon.

A travelling performance takes flight through Kranj, co-created by young dancers. Using the methodology of the previous flocks, they developed movement material and text grounded in new experiences—creating a space for transmitting intangible cultural heritage and building new urban rhythms.

In line with Andrew Hewitt's idea that choreography is also a social practice embodying ideologies and relationships, Young Flock places young people in the role of active co-creators of coexistence: through movement, they not only inherit the knowledge of past generations but creatively transform it—with the rhythm, dynamics, and perspective of the present moment.

Join the YOUNG FLOCK and experience an urban choreography that breathes with the pulse of the present!

With Janez Puhar Elementary School, we have been selected as one of the Learning Labs: Sustainable Fashion organized by Creative FLIP. This week, we began hands-on activities designed to explore creative and transversal skills while discussing and learning about social sustainability and the importance of protecting and respecting intellectual property and creations. By integrating sustainable fashion practices into educational settings, these Learning Labs aim to empower young people to advocate for a more sustainable, greener, and just future. They focus on instilling early awareness, encouraging sustainable practices, and highlighting the fashion industry's impact on both people and the planet.

Our Rewoven Realities Lab invites teenagers to engage in a creative, interdisciplinary experience at the BIEN Textile Art Biennial, blending fashion, textile art, and performance. Through workshops, students will explore sustainability, intellectual property, and slow fashion, while critically analyzing the narratives surrounding these issues. The project combines participatory action with social choreography, encouraging hands-on activities in upcycling and design. Participants will create their own designs, take part in a public performance, and reflect on ownership, creativity, and environmental impact. The final showcase will be presented at the opening events of BIEN 2025 in Kranj. Stay tuned!
