Processing of the audio/visual and the corporeal on a stage is an
important strategy to subvert the numbing and blinding effects of
contemporary life. Let's invent our own ways how to position our
perceptions of self in relation to freedom, pleasure and society of
(promised) wealth. Let's open new spaces of visibility for performance
and new media art. We need to actively bypass power structures that
have a hold on physical spaces of artistic representation. Let's forge
connections to new online audiences and collide different specifics of
various artistic media. Maja Delak is a choreographer and dancer.

She was a programme leader of the realization of a high school programme for contemporary dance, provided for at the Pre-School Education and Grammar School Ljubljana.
