About dejana sekulić:

A passionate advocate for the music of our time, dejana holds a PhD from the University of Huddersfield (UK), where she conducted her doctoral studies at the Centre for Research in New Music (CeReNeM) and the Research Centre for Performance Practices (ReCePP), under the guidance of Philip Thomas, Aaron Cassidy, and Mary Bellamy. dejana's dissertation, titled “Temporality of the Impossible”, focuses on the multifaceted process of preparation of complex pieces from the late 20th and 21st centuries. In February 2022 NMC/Huddersfield Contemporary Records released her solo violin CD baring the same title.

About Sam Perkin's 'Visualization' (2021):

The thematic that Sam brings to this piece is a reflection on the meaning of interhuman connections and the importance of shared experience - between performers, between audience, between performers and the audience. Inherently, these are questions of feeling and establishing connections, experiencing separations, and finding reconnections. As such, this work resonated immensely with my own thinking when developing the performance “Interrupted. Continued”.
