Item type:Publication, Narrativization of Macedonian tradicional dances(Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research and ICTM Study Group on Ethnochoreolog, 2015)Zdravkova-Djeparoska, SonjaThis paper aims to show the ways of narrativization where performances of traditional dance in Macedonia are associated with a specific meaning and text. In traditional Macedonian dance we follow two levels of narrativization: one is the performance whose meaning is supplemented with various dramatic elements added, and the second is the long process of creating meaning in some chain dances as a result of historical and processes of national marking. The first level includes several chain dances from the professional ensemble Tanec. The second level of narrativization dance, is exampled by Teshkoto, carrying cult significance for the Macedonians. It gained its meaning gradually as part of the process of creating national symbols. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Chain Dance Teshkoto – Cultural Identity Marker of Macedonians(İTÜ TMDK (Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music Conservatory), 2017)Zdravkova-Djeparoska, SonjaEvery nation through the process of building identity chooses symbols that shall identify and represent it. Unlike many examples of taking heraldic symbols, emblems associated with the geographic, political, religious characteristics; Macedonia is a rare case where a dance becomes an identification code. That is Macedonian dance Teshkoto, from the Reka region. Regarding the construction of Teshkoto as an identity marker, we can notice two separate processes. The first one was the emergence and development of components that cre ated and complemented the meaning of the dance. The second phase was the process of acceptance and establishment of this dance form as a national symbol. Its development as a cultural marker can be followed through two periods - the period of the Socialist Re public of Macedonia as a part of SFR Yugoslavia and the period of independence of the Republic of Macedonia. Namely, despite differences in the socio-political context, the trend of promoting and glorifying exact folk dance form - Teshkoto continues. The example of Teshkoto shows the process of inauguration of a consciously chosen identity marker and its acceptance as a national symbol. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, High School Graduation Quadrille – a Contemporary Dance Ritual(University Publishing Hause “Neofit Rilski”, 2016)Zdravkova-Djeparoska, SonjaSocial practice has proved that certain dance forms occasionally transit in relation to their role in society, thus obtaining new meanings. Quadrille is a dance that typically belonged in 19th century social events. However, beginning with the practice initiated by the dance club “Urshka” from Slovenia in 2001, quadrille has become a contemporary dance ritual practiced by the youth. High school graduates gather on a predetermined date (in the second half of May) outdoors – on a square, in a wider street – and they dance quadrille. The idea behind these performances is to popularize the event and to increase the number of countries that participate in this event. At present this list covers Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania, Montenegro, Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania. The quadrille starts at the same time for all the performers in all the countries, and they all dance an identical choreography. Macedonia joined this event in 2007 and the number of participants is growing up every year. This kind of “contemporary ritual of the initiation" has several functions: it denotes high school graduation, completion of the second level of education, at the same time marking the collective age of maturity. Further, it unites the youth into one single common idea. This dance event is especially important for the community where it takes place, which is obvious from the wide media coverage of the event (announcements in the newspapers, reports, interviews, and so on.). The performance of the high school graduation quadrille has entered the Guinness book of records. Quadrille –a ballroom dance, is slowly turning into a modern phenomenon practiced in current, modern spheres of the society, through which the high school graduates from southeastern Europe identify and present themselves. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Work of Russian Choreographers in Macedonia. Preserving the Ballet Legacy(Philological Faculty, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 2017-05)Zdravkova-Djeparoska, SonjaThe genesis of ballet art in Macedonia is assiciated with the initial forms of stage performances such as Dionysias festivals and the fi rst theater plays, what is confi rmed by the discovered archaeological localities and artefacts. But the actual projected development of the ballet in Macedonia started only in the middle of the 20th century, more precisely after 1949 and continues to the present. The foundation of this art was laid due to the formation of a ballet ensemble, educational institutions and the new repertoire. The Russian artists, who worked in Macedonia at different times, were the major contributors to the professional growth of the troupe. Three choreographers must be especially emphasize: Nina Kirsanova, Yuri Mjachin and Mikhail Krapivin, and their work in Macedonia is analized. It is connected with several segments – choreography, ballet repetition, education. This text deals with the analysis of a specifi c group that belongs to the classical ballet legacy. These are masterpieces that have kept their choreography almost unchanged form since the 19th century, but at the same time they represent a synonym of the ballet art – “Swan Lake”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Raymonda”, “Giselle” and others. They are a measure of the maturity and quality of a ballet troupe. The Macedonian ballet pays special attention and embeds it in its repertoire from the very beginning. The three mentioned choreographers are the most important in the staging and adequate preparation of the ballets of the group. They staged the “Sleeping Beauty”, “Don Quixote”, “Raymonda”, “Nutcracker”, “Copellia”, “Esmeralda” on the Macedonian scene. Their work was characterized by a high professionalism and a devotion to their work. The result are the performances that have marked the Macedonian ballet and remained for dozens of years on the repertoire. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, From Yugoslav Ballet to Post-Yugoslav Contemporary Dance:Permutations in Collaborative Practices between Macedonian and Slovenian Dance Scenes(AMFITEATER /ARS ACADEMICA, 2018-12) ;Zdravkova-Djeparoska, SonjaAldo MilohnićOur aim in this text is twofold: first, to offer a preliminary overview of cooperative activities between Slovenian and Macedonian ballet and dance artists, national institutions and non-governmental organisations in the last 25 years, that is, in the period of independence of both states, with a short excursus into the time preceding that period; and second, to offer a kind of a prima vista analysis of the main achievements as well as obstacles in those collaborative practices. In the period of its existence the Yugoslav Federation provided not only material support to professional theatre institutions, but also stimulated cultural collaboration among federal republics. Especially non-verbal forms of artistic expression, such as ballet and dance, were adequate communicators in a multinational and multilingual state as was the Socialist Yugoslavia. The official cultural policies of the newly established states declaratively (i.e. in ratified bilateral agreements) advocated the preservation of cultural connections that existed from the era of the former Yugoslavia. However, the level of intercultural exchange presupposed in these bilateral agreements is rather modest and unambitious, especially in the field of dance. The processes of dissolution of the former Yugoslavia and the establishing of the independent states of Macedonia and Slovenia produced significant changes in the field of dance and opera theatre. The main characteristics of these changes were, on the one hand, a rapid diminishing of the collaboration between national ballet and opera institutions, and on the other hand, a gradual increasing of cooperation between non-governmental organisations active in the creation, promotion and exchange of contemporary dance productions.
