BLEND – the intergenerational artistic residency – took place from August 9th to 17th, 2023.
It was born out of the personal need of the participating artists to share their dance and creative space with each other and with their children.
Starting primarily from the body and movement, through choreographic research and then expanding into other art forms, BLEND became a place of exploration – a laboratory of togetherness between children and adults.
In short, BLEND is about building collaboration, shaping group dynamics, and working collectively.
It involves developing skills of listening and supporting, recognizing needs, mutual understanding, and constantly balancing between the natural drive for play (individual or collective) and the given ideas and wishes.
We asked ourselves: What is the difference between the natural, self-driven play of children and the “suggested” or “imposed” ideas of adults?
Artists involved in BLEND:
Jovana Rakić, Željka Jakovljević, Milena Todorović, Irma Unušić, Kosta Kiseličić, Srna Kiselčić, Todor Jakovljević, Gea Unušić Vujnović, Neo Unušić Vujnović.

In addition to the song, a new shiny intricate soft richness was created, sometimes as black as a curtain into which the children crawled (pssssst- don’t tell anyone about touching the curtains!)
