Ana Vrbaski

Alice in WonderBand is a lifelong project of musicians and theater performers Ana Vrbaski and Marko Dinjaski. We are partners on stage as well as in private life for 23 years, which gives our relationship very unique dimension. Alice in WonderBand was founded in 1998 in the hills of Fruska Gora (nearby to the city of Novi Sad, provincial capital of Vojvodina) and since then the band has been performing and educating audiences in Serbia and neighboring regions.

We are the only artists from Balkans who have been developing very specific type of performing arts: unity of music, theater, dance, movement and acrobatics with special art of body music and body percussion. We have been learning from international body percussion artists and developing this technique which uses body as a rhythmical instrument. Reduced - sublimated, that's exactly what art is. Creating an entire orchestra with only two people's bodies is a challenge. This attracts us, because it is very basic and direct, and therefore communicates with the audience.

We are educators, as well, with Body as an instrument workshops, which has traveled through Balkans and Europe and helped many people of all ages play their bodies.

We have performed on numerous stages, festivals, TV programs. Our workshops for children on YouTube are a place where pedagogues and children meet to learn to make music with their bodies and benefit from this singular artistic discipline.
