Plesna izba Maribor's annual summer dance show performance

Although was the school year 2020/21 anything but normal due to COVID-19, with a big pause in classes and regular practices for young dancers, Plesna izba Maribor decided to produce its annual summer dance performance, with the situation getting a bit better and restrictions for groups of people gathering lifting here in Slovenia.

Past weekend I had a privilege to photograph contemporary dance performance choreographed by Beno Novak and performed by the very talented girls of Plesna izba Maribor’s Š.I.K. collective.

My exhibition #hipstamoments 2.0 that will open this Wendsday, 16th September 2020 in Razstavišče Vetrinjski, Vetrinjska ulica 30, Maribor, Slovenia.

It will be put on sometimes late afternoon on 16th September and it will be opened until the 30th September 2020.
