Dancing Through History: Derida Dance Center in Viminacium!

Join us as we step into the heart of history with the Derida Dance Center’s contemporary dance group!

As part of the Dancing Histor(y)ies project, the team visited the ancient Roman site of Viminacium, Serbia. This workshop was more than just a rehearsal—it was a journey into the past to draw inspiration for a breathtaking site-specific choreography.

From exploring the stories of this historic location to connecting with talented local creatives, this was an experience of co-creation and discovery. The group also hosted their first press conference, sparking excitement in the local community.

Stay tuned as we turn Viminacium into a living stage where history and contemporary art collide!
