Dance workshops at Pohoda 2022

Dance workshops at Pohoda 2022

Interactivity, movement, and fun in various forms are part and parcel of our festival. As per tradition, they have their special place under the roof of the Nay Dance House. The husband and wife Fero and Barbora Morong, who have been running the Dance House for many years, have been organizing them continuously in Slovakia for the last 20 years. This year, it will open its doors to visitors on Thursday. Its space will belong to a special and relaxed musical production to celebrate 25 years of Pohoda. The Friday and Saturday dramaturgy is traditionally divided into day and night parts: the day one focuses on interactive dance workshops with a selection of the best from traditional as well as contemporary dance culture. → read more

Music Saves Ukraine at Pohoda 2022

Music Saves Ukraine at Pohoda 2022

In the heart of our venue, next to Café Kušnierik, is the stand of the Music Saves Ukraine initiative. It is organised by our friends, promoters, artists, and other great people who provide immediate humanitarian aid to people in Ukraine. The initiative was founded by members of the Ukrainian Association of Music Events (UAME). In the very first days after the invasion into Ukraine, they turned one of the most popular concert spaces in Kyiv, Atlas, into a humanitarian centre. Soon another large humanitarian centre for the east of the country opened in Dnipro, as well as the Bakota Hub refugee centre near the border with Moldova. → read more

A novelty at Pohoda is our own festival magazine

A novelty at Pohoda is our own festival magazine

These photos make us very happy. Our exclusive press partner Bittner is already printing and binding our new festival magazine. We are amazed how they manage to produce square kilometres of festival banners, various printed matter, and 35,000 quality magazines on top of it. The magazine is basically a fusion of the former newsletter and journal. We have reduced the amount of paper printed materials and given up on plastic packaging, and at the same time we are coming up with a format that we consider to be ideal, graphically exceptional, and very strong in terms of information.  → read more
