PROSIJAVANJE: 35 GODINA FESTIVALA DRUGAČIJEG TEATRA
Simon Grabovac

..."The disintegration and crumbling of our shared state meant that all the relevant reasons for the existence of such a festival were gone, except for the one: artistic. Sensing the gravity of the problem a festival under the name the Festival of New Theatre was held as soon as 1994. This was the first step towards the transformation of the Small Pozorje into a somewhat different (international) festival with a stronger side programme, but essentially the same festival which was to gathers, reflect and evaluate alternative, exploratory and generally different theatre. Besides the desire and an inner cultural drive of the Cultural Centre’s employees to raise the programmatic and production quality and thus create a relevant theatre festival in this part of Europe and the need to clear a new competitive and creative ground for our young, and all other, theatre activists with an inclination toward exploration, it was supposed to be the driving force for starting and supporting creative and critical spirit of young authors and educate them in different forms and possibilities of creative approaches and theatrical techniques. The festival was meant to have all the essential aspects which would make it complete: a selector, artistic board, round tables, symposiums, to be competitive, to follow and present new trends in all border fields of other arts: visual, film, video… the media."...

A NEW CCNS PUBLICATION: “DIALOGUE ON FESTIVALS”
EXPLOSIVE REPRESENTATIVENESS

The Cultural Centre of Novi Sad organised a meeting with the topic of a “Dialogue on Festivals” in October last year. Soon after that, the reading audiences were offered a book with the same title published by CCNS and signed by Simon Grabovac, in the role of the project author and editor. In his introductory text he explains that a serious dialogue on festivals is simply an imposition invited by the fact that our cultural environment has become a field of a virtual explosion of events of this type. Grabovac points out that besides the positive side (relevance, success, theoretical advances) the phenomenon (of such an explosion) of festivals has its negative aspects as well (financial disproportion, different levels of quality, a lack of integration)…

One of the authors represented in this book is architect Radivoje Dinulović, whose text deals with public space as a festival stage. Yesterday, Dinulović pointed out some of the dilemmas revealed in the interaction of festivals and public spaces, such as the issue of what attitude public events have towards urban spaces. Some other texts in this collection dedicated to festivals discuss the same issues, among which Dinulović selected the contributions of Jovan Ćirilov and Milena Dragićević-Šešić. Besides these authors, “Dialogue on Festivals” brings the texts by Jelena Janković, Srđan Vučinić, Simon Grabovac, Dimitrije Vujadinović, Dijana Milošević and Milovan Zdravković.

СТРАТЕГИЈЕ НОВОГ ТЕАТРА 5: NEW THEATRE STRATEGIES 5

After each edition of the INFANT Festival, there is a publication of a collection of essays presented at its International Symposium. From the first publication onwards, all the editions have born the same title - “New Theatre Strategies”, followed by a subtitle which is actually the motto of that Festival, as well as the same artwork and technical equipment appropriate to a bilingual publication in Serbian and English.  
The collection No 5 has the same subtitle as the introductory text by Zoran R. Popović “Theatre-Phenomena-Consequences”, which attempts to raise the questions of the place of theatre in regard to the current cultural phenomena. Besides this text, the collection No 5 brings the texts by Ivana Vujić, Ana Vujanović, Andre Wuelfing, Dijana Milošević, Nela Antonović, Ivan Pravdić and Sanja Krsmanović Tasić.
