PERFORMANCE

Independent artists find themselves constantly searching. Struggling, toiling, asking questions, succeeding or failing. Finding solutions. Abandoning those solutions, but never giving up. Resisting. Resisting. Existing.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Filip Stoica

Performer and choreographer

(b. 1991, Bucharest)

Filip Stoica has a strong background in contemporary dance, contact improvisation and breakdance. He has been exploring these various ways of movement since 2010. In the past, he has collaborated with various people and institutions, like the Galway Dance Academy (Ireland), The Linotip Independent Choreography Center, Jan Burkhart, Marty Kudelka, and Gigi Căciuleanu – among many others. All of these experiences have combined and helped him understand that the way he learns and develops how he moves his body and interact with the world is right at the cultural merging point between all of the styles of dance. For him, movement and dancing, specifically, is a manifestation of our bodies and feelings. Everything that makes us human and brings us closer together, like breathing, walking, common gestures and feelings are our way of dancing through the world. In the end, everything he has learned and experienced throughout the way, turned up and influenced the creation of his own show, “Scuze, noi!” (“Sorry, Us!”), hosted by Cuibul Artiștilor (Nest of Artists) from Bucharest.
