Yugo yoga at the Museum of Yugoslav History

Museum of Yugoslav History in Belgrade, Serbia invited Performance Klub Fiskulturnik as artists in residence from 4th to 12th of July. The idea is to research the museum collection and develop a creative response to it. Using Yugo yoga: a path towards socialist self-realisation through movement, as a base for our residency, we’ll create a site-specific version of this performance, featuring museum staff, local artists, performers and enthusiasts of all generations and abilities. The residency will culminate in performance / presentation on the 12th of July.

The residency is supported by European Cultural Foundation – Step Beyond Fund
& Rekonstrukcija ženski fond.

Alongside Lara Ritosa Roberts as a lead artist, travelling to Belgrade are 3 PKF artistic collaborators: Nela Milic, Richard Glynn Roberts & Alenka Banic.

PKF statement

PK Fiskulturnik creates artwork inspired by the human body, physical exercise and the corporeal and visual heritage of contemporary societies. Investigating the notion of embodiment through re-enacting archived physical exercise manuals, using them as a corporeal text around which to construct the performance, forms an important creative strategy for PK Fiskulturnik projects. Furthermore, the viewers are asked to be active participants rather then passive observers letting the communication to happens beyond words – directly to and through the body, each performance thus becoming a unique collective experience.
