SHOWCASES, THEATRE SHOWS and PROJECTS

2-hour theatre show from the creative mind of worldwide known choreographer and creative artist Mecnun Giasar from. We have been working on the final product since September and performed the show on the 17th December 2017 in Teatre Aliance De Poblenou in Barcelona, Spain.

Theatre Shows within Solid Ground Movement Mastertraject in Amsterdam
Solid Ground Movement Mastertraject was very tough and challenging dance program. I was the only international and female dancer who made it through the whole process. Being a choreographer of one of the shows was great experience as well. Having Takao Baba as my outside eye and consultant during last couple days before the performance was inspiring and very helpful. Solid Ground Movement gave me an opportunity to bring my Slovak dance crew M.A.G. MAGicalCREW to FIX IT! The Final Edition stage.
