Sarajevo War Theater (SARTR), was founded in 1992 during the Siege of Sarajevo. In January 1993, SARTR was officially recognised by the Sarajevo City Assembly as a public institution of special significance for the defence of Sarajevo. Its spiritus movens and director, Safet Plakalo, has often spoken of SARTR as Sarajevo's spiritual weapon against the surrealism of war, summarising its charter in the catch-cry 'theatre against death'. Despite limited resou-rces, SARTR is today the most successful professional theatre company in BiH, with a number of international co-productions, appearances and awards under its belt. It brings together young theater work-ers who put on new produ-ctions every month.

Tanzelarija is a non-profit cultural association founded in 2005 and registered in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) aiming to promote contemporary dance in its artistic, therapeutic and educational aspects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where this form of art and expression is hardly to be found.
We at tanzelarija see dance as a tool available to everyone to discover, develop and express themselves, to connect to themselves, to their environment and to others, to improve communication and co-operation, strengthen self-confidence and creativity, and foster positive change and healing.
It is this approach to dance that we would like to promote, as opposed to dance seen as a series of fixed movements to be learnt and repeated, requiring a certain body shape or ability, leading to competition or exclusively to performance.
