Materija @ Minoritska cerkev, Maribor (Slovenia), 03/10/2020
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.
The venue was simply beautiful - Minoritska cerkev (Minorite Church), the Š.I.K. never cease to amaze me and I sincerely enjoyed the whole performance. And I’m not saying that due to lack of cultural events given the COVID-19 restrictions and all that, the performance was really top!
