performance artist, dancer, circus artist, clown (…)

Tina Janežič (1974, Ljubljana) developed her interest in theatrical performance as an art form at an early age. She first trained and competed in gymnastics and later, unhappy with her pharmacy studies (which she graduated from in 2008), started taking professional dance classes at the Dance Theatre Ljubljana. Having successfully passed auditions first at the Dance Theatre and later at Fourklour Company, led by choreographer Branko Potočan, Tina performed in many contemporary dance performances produced by Dance Theatre Ljubljana and Fourklor in the following years. In 2004, she moved to Brussels, where she studied with Frey Faust, but also started focusing more on circus art and rope acrobatics, which led her to enrol in the international School of Theatre Lassaad (Lecoq pedagogy). Studying at the school opened the way for her future artistic practice in the area of contemporary performance and clown art.

Besides creating her own performances, Tina has worked as a performer, clown, dancer and in other roles with the Mladinsko Theatre, the Slovene National Theatre Drama Ljubljana, the Varietejček Project, En-Knap, Betontanc, the Bufeto Institute, Ravil Sultanov and others. Besides regularly appearing in cabaret performances and artistic get-togethers, she has been working closely with the trash-burlesque group The Red Cabaret. From 2012 to 2016, Tina led and performed in the Story Slam / Tales of True Life project. She has been involved in the contemporary clown laboratory Za crknt (Drop Dead) s a co-author and performer since 2016. Since 2019, she is the president of the Slovenian Society for Contemporary Clown Art (DSKU) and teaches acting as an associate lecturer at the Alma Mater Europaea Dance Academy.
