In co-production with the Croatian Institute for Movement and Dance supported by Zagreb City Office for Culture and Croatian Ministry of Culture.

Project has been realized through the EkS-scena dance platform.

Orangecut is a result of one year's work on the research concept.

Situations of joint work on the material, the marking of the individual dancers' identity. periods of waiting, support and cheering of each other are intermediated into the fragmented code of the physical material with the intention of humanizing, uncovering and demystifying the work process.

The different media that had, in the previous phases of the work, functioned as a compact whole within a performative act, with the viral change of one reflecting on the changes of all others, are now extruded into autonomous works. The change in the prior agreed upon code of one medium no longer has as its consequence the viral change in the other, but it is now the human factor, the live and unplanned, that is conditioned by the human need during the performance itself.

The co-authorship initiative OOUR was begun by a group of authors from different fields of art, willing to research the limitations of their own author dispositions and oppositional friction within the given performative concepts. So far the co-authorship initiative OOUR created and performed: Limb (2003), Blackbox, the first box (2004) and Orangecut (2004).

During the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 group performed its productions at the L'Antic teatre in Barcelona, the WARP season, the 21. Dance Week Festival, the international symposium Group Dynamics (a part of the Zagreb - Cultural kapital of Europe 3000 platform), the international festival of student theater TEST15, the 20.Dance Week Festival, The Little Front of New Dance and Performance, the festival of expressive culture Media Mediterranea, Quarantine festival, Young Choreographers' Platform. In 2005 and 2006, OOUR plans to produce: To be confirmed (dance performance), BYT (theatre research/ performance), Holly-bolly (experimental film) and Come forward (sport event).
