This project is financially supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the City of Brno and the City of Prague. The staging of the dance performance was supported from public resources in the form of a scholarship by the Slovak Arts Council.
Our Earth is full of worlds within worlds. Each of these microworlds lives its own unique life. Through micro-movements, body landscape and a play with small objects the performance focuses our attention on little things that are often overlooked in plain sight. The playful and poetic performance explores the fragility of our existence.
The creative team includes established Czech and Slovak artists in the fields of contemporary dance, visual arts, puppet theatre and music, all of whom have extensive experience in creative work with children. Microworlds thus offers children and adult viewers an open and creative space in which everyone and everything is an important and necessary part and has their own unique potential that can develop and therefore create together with other common microworlds. The production also focuses the audience's attention on the small things and details around them, refines their perception, trains their attentiveness and concentration, and teaches them to play with a minimum of resources.
The movement and object performance is for everyone 4 years old and up.
The performance received the 2023 Czech Dance Platform Award and Audience Award.

She creates her own works as part of ZDRUHESTRANY collective, which she co-founded together with Viktor Černický and Tomáš Janypka. She brings movement and creativity to schools as a lecturer of the art-educational project Dance for Schools produced by Tanec Praha.
Sabina Bočková is a choreographer and dancer, who creates her own original works together with Johana Pocková in the POCKETART collective.

Alongside her own work she is a long-term collaborator with the independent groups Tantehorse and tYhle as well as with choreographer Marie Gourdian, Cirk La Putyka and others. Fascinated by simple and obvious body languages, she transforms movement through choreographic structures while at the same time addressing topics and themes that echo social and cultural issues
