Prof. Aleksandar Ilić, a regular member of IRASA Academy, published a professional review in the newspaper Dnevnik


Prof. Aleksandar Ilić, a regular member of the International Research Academy of Sciences and Arts (IRASA), published on February 28 in the newspaper Dnevnik an expert critical review under the title:

“Students of the Ballet School rejuvenated the SNP stage – At the concert, they demonstrated the results of their pedagogical work and their artistic potential”

As a distinguished artist, pedagogue and member of the international academic community, prof. In his text, Ilić analyzes the annual concert of the Ballet School in Novi Sad, held on the stage of the Serbian National Theatre, looking at it from the perspective of artistic and pedagogical standards of contemporary ballet education.

In the review, the program concept of the concert, which included contemporary and classical repertoire, with an emphasis on technical discipline, ensemble cohesion and the stage maturity of the young performers, is particularly highlighted. The choreography “Bones of Courage”, the trio “Oceans and pearls”, the male dance from the ballet La Peri, as well as the final Gran pa from the ballet Esmeralda, which, according to the author’s opinion, showed a high level of professional preparation, were apostrophized.

Prof. Ilić emphasizes that the school equally develops artistic and production standards, approaching the world criteria of artistic education, and that such projects confirm the continuity of serious pedagogical work and institutional responsibility in the development of ballet art.

The publication of this review in one of the most important daily newspapers further confirms the role of IRASA in the affirmation of artistic research, critical thought and professional dialogue in the field of performing arts.

Manifest of the IRASA Academy School of Thought

 

The IRASA Academy, as an international academy of sciences and arts, brings together scholars and creators devoted to the advancement of knowledge, critical thinking, and responsible action in the contemporary world.

Our School of Thought does not impose dogma, but raises questions.
It does not seek the repetition of existing patterns, but the creation of new approaches to understanding science, art, and society.

IRASA believes that true knowledge implies ethics,
that freedom of thought requires responsibility,
and that science without humanistic values loses its purpose.

This Manifest represents a commitment to lasting dedication to truth, dialogue, and intellectual independence.

For the boundaries of knowledge are not found in what is already known,
but in what has not yet been sufficiently questioned.
