Anda, Diana︎︎︎
portrays the recovery process of dancer and acrobat Diana Niepce, who was rendered quadriplegic following an accident. In this piece, Diana proposes a demystification of societies’ preconceptions concerning bodies that diverge from the perceived norm and, thus, contributes towards a shift in the way we see ourselves and each other.

what if I could dance, what if we could dance?︎︎︎
is a performance about autobiography and fiction that starts on the (im)possibility of creating a solo dance show with a body that has no technique, no intensity, nor resistance to do so. By sharing a personal story, the performer gets to share his alternative path in the dance field, while exploring everyday situations to generate movement. Notwithstanding, that is not enough. For the show to happen, the audience has a key role by helping the performer to create different movement compositions. Thus, there is an analogy between what we can achieve alone or together, questioning the role of the technique, the solo, and authorship.

director of the streamed work “compost”: Jan Kanty Zienko
A performance happening simultaneously in Lisbon, Portugal and Cracow in Poland. The event in Gaivotas brings forward the medium of streaming as a particular environment for coexistence and communication.
The original work’s title is „compost”, it is a performative installation and was created as a manifesto. Humans, as representatives of their species and part of wider landscape, were in the core of our interest. In the extinction landscape we can see glimpses appearing due to contacts. Micro-realistic, poetic incidents are happening between humans, humans and other beings, in language. Inspired by Donna J. Haraway’s philosophy, we tried to appoint on stage extemporary, interspecies community (humans, dog, plant). It led us to create something, which seems more like poem than spectacle. Space, where bodies and meanings can fluctuate, where works mechanism of entropy, where identity choices stop playing the first fiddle. We have detected the concept of compost, which refers to organic matter environment, where in decay something new and minority could appear. This work is improvisation based postcard from climate catastrophe, which last when we wait for it to happen. Which pieces of this ephemeral piece can be transmitted via streaming and the physical presence of just one kin?
