About Lana

Lana Hosni (b. 1989) is a Zagreb based dance artist and vocalist. After graduating from SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance) in 2013, she has been making her own work and performing in the works of other artists such as Matej Kejžar, Sonja Pregrad, Marko Gutić Mižimakov, Selma Banich, Naomi Brand, BADco., Marjana Krajač, Irma Omerzo, Bruno Isaković, Zrinka Šimičić Mihanović, Mila Pavičević, Zrinka Užbinec, Costas Kekis, Douglas Jung and others. Continuously interested in body-voice connection, since 2020 she annually organizes a project GLASNO PITANJE – Somatic laboratory for voice matters , an explorational-educational program which brings together artists with an interest in movement, body, somatic practice, voice work (in the vocal or a broader sense) and self-education.

For the last two years she has been researching on the locality of the contemporary dance scene in Croatia having 1 on 1 sessions of structured conversation around prejudices, conditionings, believes and unwritten rules that linger around while we operete in the field of dance. She is continuously curious to see how do these repetative patterns, whether they are wanted or unwanted, affect the ways we move, vocalize, embody, think or talk about dance and relate to each other.
