MAJA DELAK is a choreographer, performer and teacher. She
studied contemporary dance at CNDC L'Esquisse in Angers, France. In 2006, she
founded the Emanat Institute in order to affirm contemporary dance both through
productions as well as a book programme (the Prehodi series) and education. Over the recent years particularly,
her work has been marked by an intertwining of contemporary dance, intermedia
and music art. She is a multiple-award winner, including the Best Performance
Award at the Gibanica Festival (2013), the Golden Bird Award granted by the Liberal
Academy (2013) and the Prešeren Fund Award for the performances Expensive Darlings, Serata Artistica Giovanile and Ways
of Love as well as for her invaluable contribution to the affirmation of
contemporary dance (2010).
