Summary/Abstract: The Slovak theatre director, actress, and author Sláva Daubnerová (1980) ended her career as a performance artist in 2022, leaving behind in this field of art a coherent oeuvre specific both by its interdisciplinary character and its poetics of theatre and movement. In her authorial performances, Daubnerová used methods of physical and dance theatre, and contemporary and conceptual dance. She collaborated with diametrically opposed male and female choreographers, which led to a plurality of artistic approaches. By examples of some of her works, this study aims to analyze the ways in which movement and dance are used as parts of this director’s poetics in creating her solo performances and point out Daubnerová’s progress in the execution of her choreographies.
