About
As an independent dance activities adviser at the Public Fund for Cultural Activities, Nina Meško currently primarily detects and supports creativity of younger generations. If we understand choreography in its wider sense, we could say that Nina Meško’s work is first of all a continuum; however, we could also grasp it with the notion of an open work. The focus of this talk will be to embrace different strategies used by the artist to develop her work and to establish connections between two choreographic, or better, curatorial positions.
