[ Temporality of the Impossible 2017-2023]
”Temporality of the Impossible: exploring the multifaceted process of preparation of complex pieces from the late 20th and 21st centuries” is an artistic research, that started as a personal curiosity but grew into a PhD research that dejana conducted at the CeReNeM and HuCPeR, at the University of Huddersfield (UK).
CD "Temporality of the Impossible" for the UK lable HCR/NMC (February 2022) *more info*
**ABSTRACT: Temporality of the Impossible is a research project about my artistic practice on performing late 20th- and 21st-century solo violin repertoire with multi-dimensional difficulties. Within this repertoire, I focused on pieces that, despite minute-detailed annotations in the score, intentionally escape the extreme fixity that they at first glance seem to be designed to achieve. As such, they impose a novel approach to the interface between performer, instrument, notation, movement, and sound, and thus demand redefining of performance practice and practicing.
The challenges begin from the notation and range over destabilased sonic identity of the instrument, extreme combinations and successions of techniques, challenging meanings of physical actions and gestures, and going as far as using the non-linear passing of time and using performance space as part of the musical material. With these kinds of challenges as a starting point, the sounding outcome of each of these pieces can greatly vary from one performance to another.
The thesis is an account of the process, in which my explorations aimed to reexamine, deconstruct, and reconfigure understandings and approaches to the interpretation and performance practice of a classically trained violinist in relation to this chosen repertoire. Through the process of deconstructing and unlearning, I had to develop methodologies that facilitated learning how to retain, navigate, and channel surplus amounts of information which was often contradictory. My main aim was to establish ways that would allow for embodiment of potentials of all the material of the piece individually, rather than fixing one interpretation during the preparation process and thus imposing undesired hierarchy between the material. In this way, the material could continue to evolve and organically build the interpretation always anew in the moment of the performance, according to the design of the pieces. Accepting this continuous process as the necessary tool of the performative vocabulary in the pieces and its protean nature was a significant part of the research.
The research outcomes presented in the thesis include recordings of performances alongside a detailed account of the process leading to performance. Both the performances and the methodology can feed into current thought on performance practice, and the methodologies could be adopted by other violinists dealing with works from late 20th- and 21st-century solo violin repertoire.
More details and information on this project and research are are available at www.temporalityoftheimpossible.com and the PdD Thesis is avaliable via University of Huddersfield repository.

:: choreography of education::
Philosophy of (better) living through art (of) movement and sound. Through understanding and taking education as discovering and sharing. In process in which everybody (and everything) is a teacher and everybody is a student. Where art is taken as knowledge. Where art becomes knowledge. As art is knowledge.
PhD in One Night is based on the philosophy of Jacques Rancière and his book Le Maître ignorant : Cinq leçons sur l'émancipation intellectuelle where, rather than seeing equality as astral destination, the reader is challenged to consider it as a starting point.
Rancière starts from the premise that all people are equal, of equal intelligence and goes on to consider that any collective educational exercise based on the principle of searching, researching, comparing, translating can bring to the insights from which knowledge is constructed. With this, Rancière goes on to claim that the disenfranchised should feel perfectly able to teach themselves whatever it is they want to know, not feel bound to experts or rely on others for their own intellectual emancipation.
Through the story of his main protagonist, Joseph Jacotot, Rancière advocates equality of intelligence and the idea that there is stultification whenever one intelligence acts as if it is subordinated to another and that, in fact, whoever teaches without emancipating, stultifies.
Growing, absorbing and extending knowledge in this manner goes to suggest that educators can channel the equal intelligence in everybody (and everything) and with that facilitate their intellectual growth in unlimited directions.
"It is never to late. One is never too old or too stiff to become a dancer, a writer, a poet, an architect,a musician, a choreographer, a cook... It is never too late to have several lives in one."

The only bounderies and limits we have are those that we impose to ourselves. When truth is the fact that one can do and reach beyond any limits. If one dares. It is said art should provoke. This work hopes that it does exactly that. It provokes every individual to find within themselves desire, strength, passion to go beyond their known bounderies, in no matter which part of work or life. Improve. Themselves, for themselves. Thus improving first the quality of own life and than society.
Art and education are the sparks that initiate us to think and strive, expand and set intellectual challenges. Spark that doesn’t allow us to be satisfied with shortcuts, mediocrity and trivial. Art is an individual and unique expression of inner thought and feeling. Each person possess within individuality, unique personality. That makes each life unique. Life, an unique piece of art. Life is art as art is life.
“Art is my…” looks on art as whole, its necessity for quality living and perceiving life, with all its individuality and originality, as a form of art. It aims to remind of these sparks that we should never forget about and that we should embrace, through artists – pictures, stories and performances of their artistry and their everydayness. Because, an artist is not necessarily just the person doing art. Just as well, even without being an artist, one becomes so in its own way and work – by making their everydayness, their life, their doing be inspired and lead by artistry and innovative thinking. -

❙ •About the trio
This trio first gathered for a specific project, performance of two contemporary pieces (A. Dumont: Eglog and a piece by G. Francoise), but playing and performing together (in various concerts, some of which took place in Bozar-Brussels, Flagey -Brussels, Maison de Poesie-Namur) they found that they share the same passion and desire to broaden and expand the form of contemporary repertoire, for this chamber group. Especially interesting for trio is that this kind of trio was particularly popular in 18th century and was portrayed by artists such as Watteau and Rameau, when portraying the atmosphere of the “Salon”, and music as a “soundtrack” to life often played at those very home salons. Having in mind what music represented then, and giving an homage to this time, their idea is to broaden the bond and performance expression of the trio, to further enrich and present pieces of contemporary music, contemporary take on subjects of music and its presence in the soundscape of everyday life. Employing contemporary instruments and even more contemporary techniques, goal is to have new pieces written inspired by this idea of combining diverse spaces for performing music, musical meanings and searching for inspiration in both entertaining but also enlightening, inner search spheres and even giving social statements. Taking the past and tradition as starting points only to transform it to “today” and view of “what’s coming”.

Aščić-Sekulić duo met over the course of studies at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels. Early on they discovered mutual way of thinking, understanding and feeling music and art forms. This lead to combining these two similar, yet individual, approaches in one expression. The duo strives to, with each new performance, enrich their musical journey, broadening further comfort and ease in sharing ideas, emotions and colors of music. Altogether with including the influence of inevitable “third” person of their duo – the audience.

❙ •About deACT
deACT is DeArtCollective. Music, and art in general, are very important for us, as they enrich our lives and culture. We were brought together by desire to create art through music and we would also to share it and spread awareness of its importance.
We were all students at Brussels' Conservatory immersed in our own projects, when our paths began to cross each other. This is when we decided to combine our ideas and visions and start working together. And the idea of an artistic collective was “born”.
We strive to show how, for us, the classical music comes as close as any other type of music. How it can be fun. How it can be serious. How it can be deep, yet when it is necessary, very light. deACT gives us freedom to explore this. We formed deACT as a collective, to stay individuals in a group, but without making borders between each other. Because we felt that only this way, together, we can create something greater and better.
For us, being part of a collective is not only about playing along other musicians. It is also about an exchange of ideas and thoughts through music between each other, and further sharing and exchanging (ideas) with our audience. Including and interacting with audience for creating better and greater experience not only from musical pleasure point of view, but also from rising general standards and expectations music and culture can bring. The communication between musicians is very important. Having established a good basis of communication and feeling comfortable, yet inspired for going further, we are careful and “picky” when it comes to involving new musicians. However, we are always open and happy in meeting and exploring new possibilities to “join forces” and add new people and artists. Because, as deACT grows, so does our idea of spreading the music and culture to people, involving audience and communicating with them…
This “structure” of different combinations of members allows us to have diverse artists depending on an idea or a concept of the upcoming concerts and projects. Or if necessary, less. Nevertheless, we all work together on developing us as a collective, keeping in mind that in order for that to happen, each member has also to individually develop and advance as an artist.
We try not to be bound by periods in music. We strive to perform music from all periods – from ancient to contemporary. Because our goal is performing and teaching valuable and important aspects of music and musical history, so that the modern day performer or “music lover” can have good foundation and form an opinion that would lead them in their future life with classical (and any other kind) of music. Of course, taste can vary and that is something what we discuss, but we help each other find beauty and meaning in every piece we decide to play. This way, the audience can also feel the structure of each piece and understand and feel it better.
Beside concert performances, deACT activities include chamber music workshops and music initiation for children. -
