Summer ReCollection festival

The programme included eleven live performances of Aerowaves Artists from the years 2020 and 2021, the international launch of the pioneering project Springback Ringside with three dance works in virtual reality, and invited the people in Ljubljana to dance tailor-made mini-choreographies by former and current Aerowaves artists at Cinderella’s Bal Moderne.

We also presented the print edition Springback Magazine Annual with ‘Aerowaves at 25’ supplement edited by Róisín O’Brien and a video installation that recollects a quarter of a century of dance across europe curated by Enya Belak.

For our friends and dance enthusiasts who were not in Ljubljana for Summer ReCollection, we devised a series of video snippets to follow the jam-packed action of the festival. Presented by Beatrix Joyce, Springback Social (on Springback Magazine’s Facebook and Instagram) we brought to your screens, behind the scenes interviews, convivial walks, rehearsals and a delicious taste of Ljubljana. In addition, you can also read Springback Academy writers and mentors Sanjoy Roy and Oonagh Duckworth’s reviews of the works presented at the festival.
