About Speaker

She graduated in dance and performing arts from the School of Art and Design at Coventry University in the UK (Bachelor of Arts). She studied dance at the University of Illinois in the USA and as an exchange student at the Viljandi Culture Academy in Estonia. She graduated with a degree in Contemporary Culture, majoring in culture and media management at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. She is a certified somatic movement educator according to the Body-Mind Centering® approach and an yoga teacher in the Ashtanga tradition.
She practices dance, improvisation, and somatic movement. She works comprehensively as an educator, teacher, artist, producer, and performer. She finds fulfillment in collective creative and educational processes, in recent years in cooperation with the Nurt Foundation and the Mudita Foundation. Since 2022, she has been working as a producer at Nowy Teatr.
She constantly develops her interest in movement practices, including dance improvisation, contact improvisation, somatic methods of working with the body and movement, ashtanga yoga, and approaches to working with touch (including Wuo tai, Thai massage). In her artistic explorations, she combines an interest in economics and socially engaged art, exploring the physicality and relationality of the body in movement in experimental choreographic, improvisational, and compositional forms. As an educator, she draws on somatic movement methods, improvisational practices, release-based contemporary, as well as Nonviolent communication (NVC), and polyvagal theory.
