Plesni zbirkus je program suvremenog plesa i novog cirkusa za djecu započet 2019 godine kojim želimo u Rijeku dovesti domaće i inozemne predstave suvremenog plesa, novog cirkusa i kazališta za djecu te dramske radionice, radionice suvremenog plesa i pokreta te novocirkuskih vještina za djecu i mlade. Plesni zbirkus je program koji djecu uključuje u samu organizaciju kulturnog programa čime djeca direktno oblikuju program i, u suradnji sa stručnim edukatorima_cama, selektiraju predstave i radionice za djecu. Osim toga, upoznaju se (i sudjeluju u odlučivanju) i s drugim bitnim elementima organizacije kulturnog događanja.

Prijavitelji_ce mogu prijaviti:

*izvedbu suvremenog plesa, suvremenog cirkusa, kazališta ili interdisciplinarnu izvedbu za djecu
*radionicu za djecu s područja suvremenog cirkusa, plesa i pokreta, kazališta, glazbe te interdisciplinarne radionice za djecu
*kombinaciju izvedbe i radionice

Zanimaju nas predstave koje su zabavne i poučne, koje govore o djeci, odrastanju, prijateljstvu, zajedništvu i različitosti, njihovom mentalnom zdravlju i dobrobiti, ekologiji i zaštiti okoliša i sličnim temama. Važno je da u njima nema nasilja niti diskriminacije. Poželjne su interdisciplinarne predstave (kazalište, lutkarstvo, glazba, suvremeni ples i pokret, vještine suvemenog cirkusa itd.) te one koje kombiniraju različite vještine (npr. suvremenog plesa, suvremenog cirkusa, mime, kazališta) te one koje su interaktivne, odnosno u kojima može sudjelovati i publika, a primjerene su i djeci i odraslima. Posebno pozivamo umjetnike_ce koji_e su u mogućnosti izvesti predstavu na otvorenom. I ove godine želimo biti zeleni festival i baviti se temama poput održivosti, ekologije, biljkama i njihovim uzgojem, a osim toga ove godine se želimo baviti i mentalnim zdravljem i dobrobiti djece te stoga posebno pozivamo umjetnike_ce da doprinesu programu radionicama i izvedbama koje se bave tim temama.

Plesni zbirkus is a festival of theater, contemporary dance, and new circus for children, which aims to bring local and international performances of contemporary dance, new circus and theater for children, drama workshops, contemporary dance and movement, and new circus skills workshops for children and youth to the city of Rijeka. Plesni zbirkus is an inclusive programme for children: they are included in the organisation of the cultural event, co-creating, and directly participating in the design of the programme, where they, with the help and expert guidance of trainers and educators, select performances and workshops themselves. They also get to know (and participate in) the decision-making process and other important elements of the organization of the cultural event.
