Marta Ziółek
Choreographer, director, performer
I’m a choreographer, director, performer, specialized in the field of dance, film and theater and graduate of choreography at SNDO in Amsterdam. Relating to collective techniques of bodily participation, I examine the emancipatory and socially healing power of dance. I conduct empowerment workshops for women. I regard dance not only as a space for the body’s individual manifestation, but as a collective action that can become a tool of resistance and a sort of “kinetic weapon”. In my choreographic practices, I create hybrid forms, shifting from rebel gestures, derived from urban culture, to high art. In my work, I’m focusing on the issue of auto-staging of a woman’s body and voice. Author of such performances as Make Yourself, IT, Seans with Pamela, POISON (Polish Dance Theater), SIR, WE ARE JUST DANCING (together with Anka Herbut), MONSTERA and LARVA (Komuna Warszawa).
