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

The movement-sound event Young Flock evolves from previous projects: Flock of Experienced Birds Kranj, Flock of the Experienced Škofja Loka, and Flock of Books Celje, which enabled older adults to co-create contemporary art events within safe, temporary, and supportive communities. Each flock placed its artistic experience in a specific context: Kranj in the old town, Škofja Loka in a museum setting, and Celje in a library.

This time, a new, 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!
