Polish Dance

A website provides an overview of Polish dance with a wide range of artists, institutions, companies, collectives and NGOs. 

They describe the theatre production in the photograph as: The movement of the piece reflects a growing conviction of modern life: that change is the only permanence, with no final state in sight and none desired. ‘To be’ means forever ‘becoming’. 

We want to make a single place that will gather and provide all the information about the current activities in Polish dance. This place will be a base for artists, institutions, informal groups and non-governmental organisations that are active in the field of artistic dance.

A single website with all the data gathered in one place will make it easy for the foreign audiences, critics, curators and producers not only to familiarise themselves with the up-to-date repertoire and artistic offers but also find the contact details quickly.

We offer the applying artists, institutions, informal groups and non-governmental organisations an opportunity to present themselves at a separate subpage. Based on the story of Louise Fontaine Amareya Theatre & Guests.

On the photo Sylwia Hanff in the performance inspired by the liminal experience of meeting two cultures in one consciousness, and displacing one by the Other.

In a small Japanese village amongst wildlife, during the practice of body work and dance, deities and unusual creatures appeared on the border of consciousness combining the symbolism of two cultures (Sylwia Hanff Limen Butoh Theatre).

For many women, the desire to give birth seems obvious. What if this desire is impossible to fulfill, if it is restricted by legal regulations and restrictions? The artist explores this area and looks at the relationship between personal and professional life.

Relying both on her personal experience and on other women’s narratives, Renata examines this female yearning through a network of reproduction policies,  as well as numerous promises and attempts to exploit it as (Renata Piotrowska-Auffret).
