Yuri Korec & Co.

Yuri Korec & Co. is a project platform and art brand of a choreographer and performer Juraj Korec. Artistic collaborations resulting in works of contemporary dance are created on its basis. Since 2017, when the full-length dance performance d-BODY-m was presented under this brand, several other works have been produced and successfully presented, including a lecture performance Solo Not Just for One Body (2018), a solo performance Not a Solo (2018) and a group performance Sapiens Territory (2020). The thematic focus of Yuri Korec & Co. works of art is a phenomenon of the presence of the human body and its interaction with the outside world.

The creative techniques are characterized by experimenting with the movement form in interaction with other art media and exploring the relationship between actors and recipients of the performances. The production of the artistic collaborations of Yuri Korec & Co. is covered by the civic association Skrzprst, which, in addition to educational activities in the field of contemporary dance and new approaches to movement, also cooperates with the youngest generation of dance artists.

OPEN CALL

NEW BODIES is a workshop/research and creative session exploring the emotionality and expressivity of the body set in another reality – or otherwise – the agency of the body in contact with technologies.

Empathy in Art

Where does the body end and the templates into which we squeeze it every day begin? Is it still possible to distinguish them at all, or have they grown into inseparable scrum over the years, like a broken leg in plaster? In Sapiens Territory, Yuri Korec deals with the violence we commit against ourselves in order to disguise ourselves while we are. But also by force
