SomaHut Study Group 2025/2026
Launched as part of the Erasmus+ project INTERLACE: Art and Action in Contemporary Dance Education 2025–2026, in partnership with ImPulsTanz and Milvus Artistic Research Center, the SomaHut Study Group brings together six regular members with the aim of deepening their personal somatic practice and developing competencies for working with different groups of participants. This is achieved through participation in workshops led by local and international practitioners, as well as through collective work, exchange, and collaboration.
Members of the study group are invited to take part in internships and assist in workshops for different groups of participants, led by artists/practitioners with experience in this field. They also engage in various aspects of the organizational and production work of Multimedijalna koliba related to the SomaHut initiative, including website maintenance, social media communication, documentation, planning, and other tasks.
Members of the study group participated in the LACE Symposium for Dance and Other Contemporary Practices #3 and #4, held as part of the ImPulsTanz Festival in Vienna in 2025 and 2026.
Members of the SomaHut Study Group: Mia Štark, Marina Brajdić, Lara Šercar, Ana Novković, and Ana Jelušić
