Nataša Živković, born in 1981 to mother Elizabeta and father Vukosav.
After seeing Swan Lake, she wanted to dance ballet and thus completed the high school program at the
Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory. At the same time, she went to Gimnazija Poljane high school
and already started performing in various dance and theater performances, which
she continued while studying French language and comparative literature at the
Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana. So she knows how to ask for directions and order
a coffee in Paris, as well as any literary-film debate that doesn't escape her,
but otherwise, in the last decade, she is primarily a
performer-choreographer-director-teacher-occasional singer-mother. She teaches
movement and ballet at SVŠGUGL (Secondary Preschool Education, Grammar School and Performing Arts
Grammar School Ljubljana), is a member of the collective The Feminalz and co-creates the
technoburlesque Tatovi podob. She collaborates with directors, choreographers
and creates her own original works. For her work, she was awarded the Zlata
ptica award, the Ksenija Hribar award for the best dancer, the City of Women -
ŽOŽ award for Image Thieves; and she received the main prize at the festival in
Bilbao for her original play Sine. She likes sauna, good music and sincere
friendships. She dreams of a nomadic
life in warm places.
