    Before the first song I do the same thing every ti Before the first song I do the same thing every time: look up, not at the stage. The rig tells you what kind of night it’s going to be.

That one promised a lot. Uroš and Tjaša Steklasa filled Hala Tivoli on 9 September for ten years of working together – two hours, twenty-five songs, the Steklasični orchestra behind them, almost thirty musicians passing across the stage. Eighteen months of preparation. It started fifteen minutes late because the traffic around Tivoli gave up.

And the light delivered. Beams with enough body that faces had something to sit in, colour that moved with the songs instead of over them, a rig clearly built for people to look at and not only for the wide camera shot. A photographer doesn’t make any of that. You read it, you wait for it, and on a good night you’re mostly grateful. This was a good night.

The one thing missing was a pit. No space planned in front of the stage for photographers, so every frame had to be found from inside the crowd. A shame, for a show lit this carefully. Light this good deserves somewhere to stand.

On stage: Uroš in Tjaša with the Steklasični orkester, and guests Modrijani, Magnifico and Petar Grašo. Lighting design: @blackout_lighting_design

    Matilde Casini & Paula Sanchez – Attractio Project Matilde Casini & Paula Sanchez – Attractio Project: ATTRACTIO

Two bodies, and the space between them doing all the talking.

Attractio, created and performed by Paula Sánchez and Matilde Casini, rests on the oldest physics we know. Magnets pull each other in, and turned the other way, they push just as hard. The two dancers keep moving through both states: closing in, resisting, drifting apart, returning.

A duet about our restless search for connection – approaching and repelling, over and over. I photographed it at the Front@ festival in Murska Sobota, a production of Flota.

Perhaps connection is not the end of the pull. Perhaps it is the pull itself.

    Amala means friends. After thirty years, it sound Amala means friends.

After thirty years, it sounds less like a name and more like a promise kept.

At Križanke, a Roma band shared the stage with the RTV Slovenia Big Band and the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra – worlds that rarely meet. Imer Traja Brizani founded Amala in 1996. His music has been described as Romani symphonic ethno-jazz: a place where seemingly incompatible elements meet without giving up who they are.

It was a fiery, temperamental evening. And, true to the band’s name, an evening of friendship.

Perhaps that is what friendship sounds like. Not everyone playing the same tune – everyone playing together.

    There is no band. It took me a few minutes to work There is no band. It took me a few minutes to work that out — the drums, the shouts, the singing were all coming from the same five bodies that were dancing.

Amazigh in situ, by Compagnie Filipe Lourenço / Plan-K, opens out the ahidous — a collective dance of Morocco’s Middle Atlas, in which the dancers are also the orchestra. They carry bendir frame drums, they sing, and they move, which means every phrase has to be shared between the legs and the lungs. You can see the accounting happening. Nobody is hiding the effort, because hiding it would take breath they need.

Lourenço, trained in arabo-andalusian music and Moroccan traditional dance, keeps one thing from the original and builds on it: the ahidous is one of the few Maghrebi traditions where men and women dance the same line, side by side, doing the same thing. That equality isn’t a statement added on top of the piece. It’s the form he inherited.

Thirty minutes, no set, no recorded sound, nothing between the audience and the work. By the end you’re not watching choreography so much as five people keeping something alive between them.

    Three dancers. One square meter. That's the whole Three dancers. One square meter. That's the whole stage.

VULNERI, Anamaria Klajnšček's piece at this year's Front@ in Murska Sobota, sets its performers inside a space smaller than a kitchen table and leaves them there for thirty minutes. They cohabit it. They share it. And the entire work happens in what they find inside that limit — not in escaping it.

Photographing it, the frame stops being a metaphor. There is nowhere to move a body to make a cleaner picture. Every shift by one dancer is a shift the other two have to answer. Weight is passed rather than carried. Contact isn't tenderness here, it's mechanics: the only way three people stay upright in that much space is by being honest about how much they need each other.

Bowrain plays live at the edge of it, so the sound is in the room rather than over it.

The title comes from the Latin vulnus — a wound. Vulnerable, literally, means able to be wounded. Watching this, it reads less like a weakness and more like the condition that makes the other two necessary.

    Hommage à France Rotar – 25 years later A sphere Hommage à France Rotar – 25 years later

A sphere is the simplest form there is. France Rotar spent decades proving it was never simple.

He opened it, split it, hollowed it out and placed a small core inside – as if the most important part of a sculpture were the space it keeps for itself.

In the Križevniška Church, a selection of his smaller works traces how one of the key figures of Slovenian modernist sculpture kept returning to the same questions of form, mass and space. Twenty-five years after his death, the bronzes still carry a quiet inner movement.

Some forms don't need to be large to hold a whole world.
