In August, part of their creative process was carried out here by Mariola Wilhelm and Gunther Groener (a Berlin-based visual-choreographic duo), with participation by Jasmina Založnik and Rok Vevar. Ida Hiršenfelder introduced the creators to the functioning of the digital archive and its procedures of selection and accessibility. The artists were supposed to return to Ljubljana in November for a two-week intensive residency to develop the project Performing the Archive in collaboration with Rok Vevar and Jasmina Založnik, which would have been presented at CoFestival in MSUM, home of the Temporary Slovenian Dance Archive. Unfortunately, the residency was cancelled due to tightened restrictions, and their research work was postponed and carried out in Berlin. The performance was streamed live online.

Supported by the Life Long Burning project (Creative Europe), the Ministry of Public Administration, and the City of Ljubljana, in collaboration with the Temporary Slovenian Dance Archive and CoFestival.
