Lucia Kašiarová & Ufftenživot: Multividual

Where does one end and the other begins? A chance, a mistake, superposition, dance, physics, universe, and movement as starting points for action. Multividual is a work by group of artists that materializes and explores the method of permeation. This exceptional play has been recognised by Czech Dance Platform.

Lucia Kašiarová & Ufftenživot: Multividual (It’s All About Education…Again)

The Multividual as you don’t know it. It will be an experiment! A new form created right in front of your eyes. The unique play, presented as part of Studio ALTA’s University of Shared Practices: It’s All About Education, poses a question: where does one end and the other begins? Where does a standard show end and a playful variant exploring materials begin? Enjoy the acclaimed play Multividual in a way you haven’t before.

mimoOs&col.: GENIUS LOCI / Czech premiere

A Czech opening night of a site-specific performance. A place and dance. Lucie and Barbora. What is genius loci? Something composed of memories, emotions, formed by architecture. It knows everything about us but doesn’t necessarily reveal everything. Maybe a Genius, maybe a wanderer – maybe that which belongs to a city or a place… this time to Invalidovna.

SE.S.TA: Residence for choreographers with coaching / work in progress

Come and see residents of this year and their new projects!
The Residence for choreographers with coaching is a prestigious project of SE.S.TA. Every year renowned international artists - coaches come to Prague and work with selected young choreographers and their teams from all over the world to develop their work. The residency is internationally established and helps Czech choreographers to win recognition outside the country. There is a traditional presentation event at the end of the residency. That is probably the only opportunity to see their work in the Czech Republic, especially for foreign participants.

CANCELED – Koghilaki & Kreutzer & Michalak: Nudes and Conspiracies / dance workshop for public

A two-day movement workshop centred around a garden. What does it teach us and what could be found in it? Three choreographers – our residence artists – invite you for two special days full of games, movement, and discoveries. Let’s get together for a humble observation of and participation in the life in a garden. Open to all who love dance!

Koghilaki & Kreutzer & Michalak: Nudes and Conspiracies / work in progress

Output from August residency with artists Dorota Michalak, Xenia Koghilaki, and Julek Kreutzer.
What can be learned from a garden about collectiveness, time, and ideology?
Three Berlin choreographers get used to the local garden during their artist residency and explore its dynamics and life – through the notion of nakedness they search for sense of belonging to what goes beyond being and acting human.

Debora Štysová: Traces of Human Presence – work in progress

Output from Debora Štysová’s artist residency.
Through our existence in a space of the past we shape the future. And what if I change your journey here and now? A memory of a space, the living that has already left and nothing remains but mystery, until we begin to search for it.
A site-specific installation and research based on the artist’s long-term interest in behaviour inherent to being in a (public) space.

Martin Talaga: Headless Mule & Fredrik Petrov: Folklore

Work in progress times two! Movement, strength, tension, and folklore. Martin Talaga and Fredrik Petrov invite us to peek into the freshest moments of their recent creative work. Both of them have been recently exploring folklore – from Brazilian legend to traditional Balkan culture.

Manus art collective: Árbakkinn

A landscape as a body, a body as a landscape. Time which passes peacefully, distant from the time we experience. A body is perceived as part of a whole. It is part of naturalness, a landscape of its own right that seeks to be strong and adamant like cement buildings and architecture that surround it. Feelings, sensitivity, and intelligence bind us to nature more than we realize. A human being is a mass with impact on the landscape, shaping it as it searches for its place.

Zero Point Festival 2022

14th annual international festival Zero Point is back at Studio ALTA! The four day programme is brimming with innovative and refreshing international and Czech works – from dance and visual theatre to performance art. The 2022 edition is focused on a multi-layered nature of human identity.

Dům odpočinku ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ House of Rest

From 4 to 10 July, Studio ALTA will be open as the 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁. In the course of seven days, we would like to share our studio as a temporary shelter with all those who feel fatigued, to offer an oasis for relaxation and create a space where we could together think about strategies that do not consider resting only as a means to even higher performance.

Collective Ways of Doing Things

A space for community meetings, to share experiences and search for a strategy of survival within artistic practice. This time our meeting will be conceived as a cooking session. The process of creating and sharing food recipes will be our guiding principle for creation of relationships and interdisciplinary collaboration in artistic practice. The final dinner will serve as an inspiration for exploration of sources that we need in our practices.

Ceren Oran & The Moving Borders: The Urge

The movement performance Urge Grows, based on the concept of choreographer Ceren Oran, strives to, metaphorically speaking, turn walls of a building into a dance hall. It draws inspiration from the frustrating experiences of the year-and-a-half long pandemic and isolation, and transforms them into a joyful and lively event, purposely situated in a public space.

Sofie Johnson and col.: Ptačí slet

Beginning of summer, the sound of trees, a Spanish guitar and Indian flute – that’s how it could look like at a movement-participatory meeting in the Studio ALTA garden. Come join us to observe the flight of birds, be inspired by their movement and put your own body in motion.

The collage from fragments of motherhood moments is inspired by motherly characters from the book of poems, Kytice (The Bouquet), by Jaromír Erben. This experience will touch the inner you and your senses – you should expect an eye band, headphones, tactile objects, smell, stories, and particularly a journey into your own imagination.
// The performance will be in English and only for 9 spectators at a time.

Open ateliers – Barbecue and meeting with Solidarity Network Local local in the garden of the Invalidovna

The meeting of the solidarity network is our yearly occasion to thank and meet personally with everyone who is involved in the solidarity network or in any way contributed to its development. We will be having a small barbecue in the garden and 3 music interpreters during the evening: DJ Cesar Chunk, Václav & Murat and Bróňa. In the café of Alta there will be drinks and during the informal meeting we will sit in the garden or see the beautiful barock building from inside.

Manus Art Collective: NomHades

We have lost everything. We lost our home, fortune, family and relatives. We have become no one overnight. Because of that we have decided to flee. To flee to the Europe to find a new hope for safe life and home. However we ended up here. Locked between fences. We are unwanted here in Europe as well. Our journey became endless like a vicious circle. Kilometer, kilometer, kilometer.

Eszter Koncz: River Room

River Room is an impossible game to map an environment that is in motion, a fragment of the world in its becoming. This map is still but not static: it is quivering, flowing, spinning. If everything is moving where is here?

Sergio Patricio: Hydra

"Hydra" is a performative sculpture project, where Murano crystals become a restrictive apparatus that allows certain actions and particular movements. The creative process of two artists: Benjamin Podoba and Sergio Patricio use Murano glass as the medium between both to merge their practices and reflections. Glass as an eco-friendly material is activated in 10-15 min. long slow motion sequence of movements and actions.

Collective Ways of Doing Things

TEH Conference 93

Trans Europe Halles is a network connecting independent cultural centres across Europe that use for their activities abandoned buildings and transform them into lively centres for art and culture. Studio ALTA is a long-time member of this platform and this year it also hosts the international conference TEH 2022 exploring the theme of cultivation. The conference will take place from 26 to 29 May. We will be listening to each other and learn how to understand our activity within a broader ecosystem and sustain healthy environment in order to function. Together we will examine themes such as team work, a search for an ideal relationship between quality and quantity in dramaturgy, but also, for instance, a re-instalment of imagination.

Support Ukraine

Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine is still going on, but so is our support.
We are launching a new donation in support of Ukraine in partnership with Blindspots. This is a donation of food, gas masks and walkie talkies. You can bring the items directly to Studio ALTA - the west wing of the Karlin's Invalidovna. The next destination of the collection is the humanitarian warehouse Khmelnytskyi, from where the items go to the frontline, but also to the civilian population in actual need.
The collection will continue until 25 May.

Michaela Petrů: INvalid dream

Michaela Petrů, a graduate of the Rittstein studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, explores boundaries of painting and opportunities offered by material. In the project Invalid Dream, she focuses her attention on one of Prague districts, Karlín, and its transformation from a working-class location to an area sough-after by developers.

Who is we?

MASS - We are affected by images that surround us and despite all our efforts to be original we have become unified within the mass of other beings.

Stand With Ukraine

Since last Thursday we have been gradually waking up into a new world, a world full of open wounds that will not heal. We wake up with questions about how to continue our daily activities and find meaning in it, we try to find direction in our capacity to express solidarity, how to help and whom to help, and we go to bed at night with unsettling thoughts about what the next day will bring.

Join us on Friday 4 March for Stand With Ukraine, a community gathering where we can support each other.
From 17:00 – 20:00 a series of short performances, statements, readings, and interventions by artists from Studio ALTA community will take place. We will also coordinate donations for humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Markéta Stránská, Jean Gaudin: …Or to Be / MOVIE PREMIERE

The dance video of the director Stéphanie N´Duhirahe called “…Or to Be” presents three characters trapped in a triangle of emptiness, fear and loneliness. A caricature of near misses, it is an urgent commentary on our inability to abandon routine stereotypes, relax into hysteria and get at least a little bit closer to one another.
