Sasa Asentic
My private bio-politics
Post-Show Talk Mar 5 with Sara Nash and Chase Granoff
Friday Night Toast Mar 6
“Sasa Asentic puts in front of us ‘comment dance’. In his case, the body speaks and while speaking, it talks
about itself. Instead of a body in front of discourse (presence in front of a language), he offers us a body in discourse.” -
Arena Festival Journal of “Mladi Levi” Festival (Ljubljana, Slovenia)
Emerging Serbian choreographer Sasa Asentic probes what it means to be contemporary - personally and publicly - in his
solo My private bio-politics. Beginning as an investigation of how dance is experienced in transient Eastern European
cultures, the work has grown into an actual dialogue with the audience debating the global expectations of a performing body.
WORKSHOPS
Sasa will be presenting two workshops related to the contemporary dance scene in Serbia. There is no cost for either
of the workshops. Please RSVP to sara@dtw.org if you can attend.
