In 2009, together with Andreja Podrzavnik and Gregor Kamnikar founded the Federation Institute, where she works as an artist, a member of the Collective and since 2012 the director of the institute.

As a choreographer Snježana Premuš deals with the issue of physicality (body image) and the collective body in various ways, within the long term research project Physical Manifestations. She is interested in how somatic principles evolve through the body, its manifestations and possible extensions in different forms of coexistence and organisations. Latest performances and installations are intriguing spaces of social action, exchange, cooperation and observation.

In 2020, she developed a broader platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience within the Dialogue Symposium. Artists and experts from various fields (dance, architecture, dramaturgy, philosophy etc.) are invited to form multilayered perspectives within the form of a Dialogue.
