A Playground (not only) for Artists

Sep 19 – 24, 2026

Zagreb Dance Center (ZPC)

The laboratory is conceived as a space for shared artistic thinking and exploration – a playground in which the body, play, conversation, improvisation, absurdity, space, and various group tasks bcome tools for exploring how an idea emerges before it becomes a decision.

Rather than searching for immediate answers, the laboratory proposes staying with these questions through practical tasks, games, improvisations, conversations, impossible tasks, interruptions, and collective experiments. Creativity is approached not so much as a means of finding solutions, but as a way of revealing patterns, intuition, and forms of knowledge that may already be present in our work before we are able to recognise or name them – our “unknown knowns”, the things we don’t know that we know.

Participants feel free to bring your own working processes, questions, materials, or projects you are currently working on into the laboratory – they can become a valuable part of our shared exploration, exchange, and reflection.
