The aim of the institute EMANAT is to affirm contemporary dance and contemporary art as a topical, alive field of artistic creativity. Institute wants to develop this area by establishing different structures and modes of activity with which art enacts and enhances its creative structures.
The institute's production activity, developing in the area of performing arts and video, primarily focuses on art projects, which aim to develop their own specific procedures, processes and codes of work. Thus, the institute EMANAT constitutes and generates a community, interested in exchange, communication and articulation of the actuality of contemporary society and its individuals. One of the principal aims of production activity is the formation of production conditions for artists, who may, by way of exchange, form and improve their own visions of the art of dance.
Educational activities work as a platform for development and research of potentials of both the young dancers in the beginning of their creative path as well as the already formed professional dancers, who wish to develop the area of contemporary dance and their own creative procedures. The aim of the educational programmes, conceived as a dialogue exchange of creative individuals, is to give a fresh impetus to the artists, thus contributing to the development and success of the art of dance.
The publishing activity is intended to publishing domestic and translated works from the areas, which are in different, also potential, ways connected with dance and may bring and expand this activity to other areas and vice versa, and which constitute the elements of connections, which may reside also in the dance medium. The publishing programme is opening up the themes, where the chiasm of areas occurs. At the same time, it is committed to topical articulation of contents and elements, which are of pivotal significance for the development and existence of the art of dance, and to the opening up of questions, which present an impetus for further growth of the field.
Institute EMANAT advances the activity in three areas: stage and AV production, education, and publishing. The three part structure enacts the main vision the notion of emanation, making it concrete with a reciprocal intertwinement of individual activities. The central is the production of performances and av production, while at the same time the institute promotes education and publishing as the key elements of the development of the contemporary art.
