POCKETART Collective

Under the leadership of choreographers Johana Pocková and Sabina Bočková, in their projects the collective brings together artists from the fields of dance, music, scenography, visual arts and light design and other technical and production collaborators. In their work the collective involves professional and non-professional dancers of all ages and presents their projects not only in theatres, but also in outdoor and site-specific locations.

The collective's work is characterized by tackling topics that transcend the personal experience of the individual and touch upon societal issues such as media manipulation, global environmental threats, stress in a competitive environment, the position of the human being in the corporate work system and women in contemporary society. The creators try to approach these topics comprehensively through detailed work with all theatrical components.
POCKETART is a collective body / POCKETART is a space for common reflection of our society / POCKETART is people of different ages and genders dancing together and sharing the joy of creation and movement / POCKETART is a place where community is created
Upcoming project MAKING LOVE
In her newest creation Sabina Bočková wants to continue in the body investigation of a position of a woman in nowdays society and the search for freedom of identity and expression that she started in her latest piece Fairy Tales. This time she wants to focus specifically on the topic of female sexuality, its connection to spirituality and how these two are viwed in our contemporary social-cultural context. In the heart of the project there is a need for physical exploration of an authentic and complex relationship with one`s own sexual element and at the same time a desire for deep and rich research in how do we as a society percieve and accept (or not) this part of our human nature. How is our sexuality and its deep connection with something beyond formed by popculture, porn or Instagram spiritual journeys? „I feel a deep need for real integration of female sexuality as a normal human experience, that is accepted part of our society. I want not to hide it. I want to experience, that it does not belong to anyone. My question is how can I experience a pleasure from my own body for its own purpose and at the same time find a way of sharing this state with public. I think that this is still a huge question for us as a society. I want to be able to experience my body authentically without fear of an external eyes.“ photo: Vojtěch Brtnický / work in progress Making Love, Bazaar festival 2025
