Temporary Collective is a performance-making group. Temporary Collective is dancer Tereza Ondrová and theatre director Petra Tejnorová. We are a duo, bringing together a team of creatives from various disciplines to make performances and encounters with the public.

Our artistic process is built through dialogue and in response to what challenges us. Recent topics in our work deal with sustainability, loss and geographical narrative, while also exploring the humorful and heartfelt. We are temporary because we do not hold fixed beliefs, preferring to welcome change and practice reinvention and relations with the unknown.

Temporary Collective also includes collaborators Monica Gillette (dramaturg), Sodja Lotker (dramaturg and curator), Markéta Perroud (international development), Daniela Řeháková (production), Mariana Pecháčková (production & development), Dominik Žižka and Marek Bartoš (video & photo documentation), among others.

Temporary Collective seeks the opportunities to explore different territories and media.

Temporary Collective is not based on permanency in terms of a permanent space or a certain theatre building but rather it builds its identity on the diverse relations and locations where a theatre and dance can take a place and on what team structures it can be created.

Temporary Collective enjoys changing structures and reacting to experimental forms which – only after that, it develops.

Temporary Collective enjoys various rhythms – some of our projects are long-term and other ones are just a short series of actions. Creation and destruction. Premiere and the last performance.

Temporary Collective is a variable and living creative organism. We like to create, form collectives based on an inner need to work and create together. Not just to persevere. Basically, that is why our name is TEMPORARY COLLECTIVE!
