Flota, a nonprofit cultural institution for the organisation and realisation of cultural events, established in 2001 by the dancer and choreographer Matjaž Farič. Since 2006 Flota has organised the Front@ Contemporary Dance Festival, based in Murska Sobota, thus contributing to the decentralisation of contemporary dance in Slovenia. In the last decade Flota Institute has developed strong international partnerships and now participates in the Dance Explorations Beyond Front@ network, which it established with the support of the European Commission.
Enya is a London-based filmmaker, choreographer and artist. Her work reaches various artistic practices and disciplines, which intertwine among each other. The body becomes the main research focus of her work reflecting background in contemporary dance and choreography.
After graduating from Goldsmiths University of London with an MA in Directing Fiction films, Enya created and participated in many projects. Just to name a few, SPACE between (performance and a photography and video exhibition), Enya directed many music videos for various artists and as a co-creator of the video content she also works with the renowned European network for contemporary dance Aerowaves.
