THE ARTISTS OF INSIGHTS DIGITAL 2022
TEODORA EZHOVSKA & HRISTINA TRAJKOSKA
Theodora Ezhovska began her dancing career at the age of seven, at a local dance studio in her hometown Struga, where she was a member for 12 years and studied hip-hop, show dance, and dance theatre. Following her childhood dream and love for dance, in 2015 she decided to broaden her education and continued her studies at the "Faculty of Music arts" in Skopje, within the department of contemporary dance pedagogy.
In the last few years, Teodora worked as a dance instructor and choreographer at Beatrix Cultural Center, where she takes part in many projects, such as Beatrix Dance League, Beatrix Specials, projects with UNICEF, Europe House, and the Delegation of the European Union in North Macedonia; Teodora is also a participant coordinator in VADA- Virtual American Dance Academy.
Teodora’s interest in the past 4 years has predominantly been interdisciplinary projects and the relations between them; this gave her the opportunity to work with many actors, directors, filmmakers, and poets, which gave her a new perspective on creation and creativity.

Hristina Trajkoska was born in Skopje, North Macedonia, and at 18 years old moved to Slovenia where she graduated from the ‘Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - FERI’ in Maribor, and broadened her knowledge in the field of photography, video production, and design.
After her post-graduate studies in media and communications, Hristina combined all her knowledge and skills and opened a company – HTR Studio, in Slovenia. Hristina’s love for photography began at an early stage, in primary school, and it never stopped. In the last few years, her interest expanded towards cinematography, as she has experimented more with video, and different story- telling techniques.

SÁNCHEZ & RIGG
This duo is formed by Spanish & Flamenco choreographer and performer Leticia Sanchez, and Scottish percussionist, vocalist, and music maker Anders Rigg. Their passion for rhythm as a percussionist and a flamenco dancer, made them start exploring a joint path.
Both are interested in combining disciplines of music, dance, and physical performance in their individual work. Together, they develop ways of communication between art forms while training in new skills that allow them to keep growing as individuals sharing a joint artistic journey.
As freelance artists, they combine creating and performing alongside their regular teaching. Community is important, and for them, sharing their passion with others brings energy and new inspirations and communication skills to take on board.
Their biggest achievement for them has been to develop ‘Project Unspoken’, a new approach to create music and dance simultaneously in the same space. This project is a clear definition of this duo and their commitment to keep exploring, learning, and creating in the art world.
In another front, they have released their first single as a music duo and are currently working and recording an upcoming album.
