The Cause of disease- Living in the context of enforcing new laws and regulations everyday we are facing constrains, or are we? Is freedom only accessible in our minds since the public spaces are clearly defined and priced? Maybe we should take permanent residence in mythology… there freedom seams possible.

Macedonian-born and raised Kliment Poposki migrated to Australia with his family in 1990. After completing a science degree at RMIT he came to the realisation that his real passion was for acting. This led him to three years of intensive training at The National Theatre Drama School. Kliment has worked as co-creator and performer in independent theatre productions in Australia. In 2008, Kliment returned to Macedonia to tour his solo performance The Pilgrim. The piece reflected his cross-cultural experience and dealt with issues of migration. Whilst abroad he also worked with ‘Traffic Physical Theatre’ in Croatia and ‘Lokomotiva’, Center for New initiatives in Art and Culture, in Macedonia. He participated in the Nomad Dance Academy 2010 education program. During his involvement with Lokomotiva Kliment took on various roles; performer, voice-over artist, administrator, collaborator and he is still involved with the research and further development of the Arts in the Balkan region. After training in Meisner approach with Ward Studio Company and performing two shows in Philadelphia USA in 2011, and Melbourne 2012 Kliment has returned to Macedonia where he continues to work as a performer and cultural worker.

Viktorija Ilioska is young Macedonian dancer/choreographer with a bachelor degree in contemporary dance pedagogy. Since 2006 she is an active member of Lokomotiva`s program for support and development of the contemporary dance. During this engagement she has been actively involved and participated in workshops with international choreographers organized on local level but also international workshops and programs for contemporary dance. In 2010 a major twist happened in her professional development entering the Nomad Dance Academy, which experience afterwards led her to the strong decision for choosing contemporary dance as a lifetime profession. The Nomad Dance Academy gave her the chance to make her first production “I am always watching you” in collaboration with the Slovenian dramaturg Rok Vevar. This production was presented at the festival Pleskavica in Slovenia 2010, New Dance Alliance in New York, USA 2011, Locomotion Skopje and AKTO Bitola, Macedonia. After graduation she has been chosen for Dance Web Scholarship Program in Vienna, Austria under the mentorship of Chris Haring and David Wampach. Her interest and focus is the development of contemporary dance in the region through workshops, collaborations and productions.
Performance was developed in the residency at Tanzfabrik, Berlin as part of the collaboration of Lokomotiva as LIBERO partner of APAP http://www.apapnet.eu/.
