Production of Association of Ballet Artists of Serbia /Award Encouragement
The inspiration for “One” was the film “Lobster” by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos. It is a black-humor satire, which follows a man in a dystopic society where it is unacceptable to be single, without a romantic partner. The pressure of the society that the individual is exposed to, gets even harder with the pressure that he imposes on himself. The way we live and organize our lives around the patterns created by a society, often prevents us from perceiving the absurdity of something that we see as normal in our everyday lives. But when we envisage the usual situations and push them to extremes in our minds and then look at them through a microscope, this is when a new viewpoint emerges and when we start to wonder: is there a different way this could be done?
After completing the School of Ballet Lujo Davico, Sanja Ninković became a member of the Ballet of the National Theatre in Belgrade. On the stage of this theatre she appeared in many significant soloist roles in both contemporary and classical ballet performances. She is a guest member of Bitef Dance Company, and she also performed in Ballet of Madlenianum Opera. She is the recipient of the Natasa Boskovic award of the Association of Ballet Artists of Serbia, for best interpretation of classical and neo-classical style for the role of Swanilda’s friends in “Coppelia” (2016), Smiljana Mandukic award for best dance interpretation in contemporary dance in the performance “Yesterday, Remember to Forget” by Bitef Dance Company (2013), Dimitrije Parlic award as a member of the performance “Step Lightly”, for extraordinary technical interpretation (2010), and Commendation by the National Theater in Belgrade for achievements of special importance (2007, 2010, 2013). She is also the recipient of the Judges’ Panel award and award Encouragement, on the 22nd Festival of Choreographic Miniatures for her debut choreography “Subjectively”. She graduated from the Academy of Arts in Belgrade, Department of Production in the Arts and Media.

Invitation for a dance, for joy that mobilizes the viewers, especially those that can relate to pop-culture, so that everyone finds his own pleasure in it.
