Lokomotiva 1

"Lokomotiva 1" means the first reunion of 5 Albanian and  6 Macedonians dancers.
Workshop and final presentation (40 ') in Skopje, Macedonia.


Under the SDC-funded program to support the cultural transformation process in Eastern Europe it was the objective of the two choreographers Christiane Loch and Silvano Mozzini to teach modern dance in Macedonia and to help the regional cooperation between dance groups.

After a 3-week workshop a presentation was held in front a full house in the Youth Cultural Center in Skopje.

It was an important contribution to international understanding between ethnic Albanians and Macedonians, as well as between the two countries, Macedonia and Albania. The borders have been dynamited, and launched a successful collaboration.
