✨️ RELAX - EXPLORE - PLAY - CONNECT - GROW - TRY - LEARN – CREATE✨️

Welcome to the Will of Motion Festival 2025, a gathering of flow artists and circus enthusiasts in Croatia!

We are happy to continue building the tradition for the third year in a row, this time backed by the Dragons Within You association.

Join us from Friday, September 5th to Sunday, September 7th, in the forest of Istria near the sea and next to the historic town of Bale, where we are all going to camp together in nature under the full moon.

This playground for children and adults offers everyone an opportunity to attend numerous and diverse workshops during the three days of the festival where they can learn something new and improve their knowledge. Connect with yourself and others and enjoy creative freedom of expression through sound and movement.

In a place where we celebrate diversity and authenticity, potentials develop and talents are revealed.
There, we can meet in peace, far from distractions, pause our thoughts and move our bodies - free yourself from shame and release the fire inside.

Join us in creating a beautiful story in a stimulating environment of talented dancers, acrobats, poets, exhibitors, musicians and other artists.
Younger and older, stronger and weaker, sadder and happier, everyone is welcome, in a place where everyone is a teacher and everyone is a student.

We look forward to your arrival!

✨️ OPUSTI SE - ISTRAŽUJ - IGRAJ SE - POVEŽI SE - RASTI - PROBAJ - UČI – STVARAJ✨️

Dobro došli na Will of Motion Festival 2025, okupljanje flow artista i cirkuskih entuzijasta u Hrvatskoj!

Sretni smo što nastavljamo graditi tradiciju već treću godinu za redom, ovog puta pod pokroviteljstvom udruge Dragons Within You.

Pridruži nam se od petka 5.9. do nedjelje 7.9.2025. u istarskoj šumi nedaleko od mora i povijesnog grada Bale, gdje svi zajedno kampiramo u prirodi uz pratnju punog mjeseca.

Ovo igralište za djecu i odrasle pruža priliku svim zainteresiranim da na mnogobrojnim i raznovrsnim radionicama nauče nešto novo i unaprijede svoja znanja, povežu se sa sobom i drugima i njeguju kreativnu slobodu izražavanja kroz zvuk i pokret.

Tamo zajedno možemo u miru i daleko od distrakcija zaustavit misli i pokrenut tijelo, oslobodit se srama i dopustit vatri da izađe na vidjelo.

Pridruži nam se u stvaranju jedne lijepe priče u poticajnom okruženju talentiranih plesača, izlagača, akrobata, pjesnika, glazbenika i umjetnika.

Na mjestu gdje slavimo različitost i autentičnost, potencijali se razvijaju i talenti se otkrivaju.
Mlađi i stariji, jači i slabiji, tužniji i sretniji, svi su dobrodošli, na mjestu gdje su svi učitelji i svi su učenici.

Radujemo se tvojem dolasku!

💥 PROGRAM 💥

Through three days of music, workshops, and fire dancing, enhance your skills and discover new challenges with fantastic teachers of various styles and backgrounds.

We’re once again creating a synthesis of sound and movement with many wonderful and creative musical artists.

The program includes over forty flow arts, music, meditation, and other workshops, while the evenings are reserved for dance and fire manipulation accompanied by a top-notch music program.

The workshop schedule will be available on our social media sites:

During the day, we’ll provide food and shade while you play with props like contact staff, poi poi, swords, fans, hoops, levi wand, rope dart, or dragon staff alongside experienced flow artists.

If prop manipulation isn’t your thing, choose a workshop like yoga, archery, axe throwing, aerial acrobatics, dance, music workshops or others, enjoy a relaxing sound bath or surrender to the skilled hands of our masseurs.

Engage in improvisation and co-creation of music and movement with other dancers and musicians. Dance and music go hand in hand, so we encourage you to bring an instrument and let your voice be heard.

At the festival, you’ll have the opportunity to witness an exhibition of macro photography by entomologist Kristian Medak and view and purchase beautiful creations by other artists and craftsmen.

We spend the nights in peace and quiet to ensure a good rest and fresh start for a new day.

  💥  PROGRAM 💥

Tijekom tri dana glazbe, radionica i plesa s vatrom, unaprijedi svoje vještine i otkrij nove izazove uz fantastične učitelje različitih stilova i pozadina.

I ove godine stvaramo sintezu zvuka i pokreta uz mnoge predivne i kreativne glazbene umjetnike.

Program obuhvaća više od četrdeset flow arts, glazbenih i drugih radionica dok je večer rezervirana za ples i manipulaciju vatrom i popraćena vrhunskim glazbenim programom.

Tijekom dana osigurat ćemo ti hranu i hlad dok se igraš s rekvizitima poput kontakt staff-a, poi-ja, mačeva, lepeza, obruča, levi wand-a, rope dart-a ili dragon staff-a uz bok s iskusnim flow artistima.

Ako te ne privlači manipulacija rekvizitima odaberi radionicu poput jog e, streličarstva, bacanja sjekira, zračnih akrobacija, plesa, glazbenih radionica i drugih, te uživaj u opuštajućoj zvučnoj kupki i prepusti se zlatnim rukama naših masera.

Upusti se u improvizaciju i sukreaciju glazbe i pokreta s drugim plesačima i glazbenicima. Ples i glazba idu u paru pa te potičemo da poneseš sa sobom instrument i pustiš glas.

Na festivalu ćeš imati priliku svjedočit izložbi makrofotografije pulskog entomologa Kristiana Medaka, pogledat i kupit prekrasne kreacije drugih umjetnika i majstora.

Noći provodimo u miru i tišini kako bi se dobro odmorili i krenuli svježi u novi dan.

❣️ WHY IS THIS FESTIVAL WORTHWHILE❣️

Will of Motion is one of the new, fresh, and ambitious initiatives in our region, with the aim of changing its surroundings for the better.

Gently and without judgment, it welcomes everyone into its home and offers them the opportunity to work on themselves and walk away from the experience feeling empowered.

The Will of Motion Festival provides a space for resetting and cleansing in a healthy and natural environment.

❣️ ZAŠTO JE OVAJ FESTIVAL VRIJEDAN❣️

Will of Motion je jedan od novih, svježih i nadobudnih organizama na našim prostorima čija je namjera mijenjat okolinu na bolje.

Nježno i bez osuđivanja prihvaća svakoga u svoj dom i daje mu priliku da radi na sebi i izađe osnažen.

Will of Motion Festival pruža prostor za resetiranje i čišćenje u zdravom i prirodnom okruženju.

🏗️ WORK AND EFFORT INVESTED🏗️

  Collaboration among people who love what they do has created this festival.

A group of entrepreneurs who are building this festival out of passion, plans to continue developing it for years to come, with the goal of gathering the global flow arts community in Istria.

Last year, all organizers and artists volunteered their work and personally covered the costs of transportation, food, and more. We organize food, water, electricity, and everything needed for a comfortable stay at the camp.

This year we would like you to help us cover the travel expenses for our amazing artists.

By performing fire shows on the streets, we raise funds for the festival’s capital expenses, this year at Vita Beach Bar, located near the festival site.

On-site efforts to create a cozy home for the flow arts community include clearing the forest, removing roots, leveling the ground, building a hill around the fire arena, constructing the small arena stage, setting up stone tables and benches, building counters, a gym and toilets, as well as creating decorations, furniture, and planting new trees.

🏗️ ULOŽENI TRUD I RAD🏗️

Kolaboracija među ljudima koji vole ono što rade stvorila je ovaj festival.

Skupina poduzetnika koji iz ljubavi podižu ovaj festival planira ga godinama dalje gradit u svrhu okupljanja globalne flow arts zajednice u Istri.

Prošle godine, svi organizatori i umjetnici volontirali su svoj rad i sami si financirali troškove prijevoza, hrane itd. Sami si organiziramo hranu, vodu, struju i sve što je potrebno za ugodan boravak u kampu.

Ove godine vas molimo da nam pomognete pokriti putne troškove naših cjenjenih umjetnika.

Izvođenjem vatrenih predstava na ulici prikupljamo novce za troškove festivala, ove godine u Vita beach baru koji se nalazi nedaleko od lokacije festivala.

Akcije na terenu koje su do sada napravljene u svrhu stvaranja doma flow arts zajednici uključuju čišćenje šume, čupanje korijenja, ravnanje terena, podizanje brda oko fire arene, podizanje podija male arene, postavljanje kamenih stolova i klupa, izgradnja pultova, teretane i wc-a, dekoracije i namještaj te sadnju novog drveća.

🌎️ BUILDING A COMMUNITY🌍️

We collaborate and network with local associations through fire performances, workshops, promotional events for the public and gatherings of flow artists. Most of the funds raised through donations will be used to cover travel expenses for flow arts instructors.

Over the past two years, we have participated in festivals such as Trk u Šumu, Zion Boška, Terra Divina, and TWG Festival, and in collaboration with Art Park Pula, Curaya Project, Cirkus NIT, and Pula’s City Workshop, we have organized both events for a wider audience and local flow artist gatherings.

Our intention is to connect local and international artists and we include artists from various parts of Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, the UK, Mexico, the USA, Spain, France, Portugal, Belgium and Italy in the festival program.

🌍️ STVARANJE ZAJEDNICE🌏️

Surađujemo i umrežavamo se s lokalnim udrugama putem fire performansa i radionica, promotivnih partija za širu publiku i okupljanje flow artista. Većina sredstava prikupljenih donacijama služit će za pokrivanje putnih troškova flow arts učiteljima.

Tijekom protekle dvije godine sudjelovali smo na festivalima Trk u Šumu, Zion Boška, Terra Divina i TWG festivalu te smo u suradnji s Art Parkom Pula, Curaya Projektom, Cirkus NIT-om i Gradskom Radionicom u Puli organizirali događaje za širu publiku i okupljanje lokalnih flow artista.

Naša namjera je da povežemo lokalne i internacionalne umjetnike i u programu festivala uključujemo umjetnike iz raznih dijelova Hrvatske, Slovenije, Njemačke, UK, Meksika, SAD-a, Španjolske, Francuske, Portugala , Belgije i Italije
