The “Dancing Together Again” residency in Warsaw was an experience that will remain in my memory for a long time. Those 10 days spent creating, exploring and discovering new dimensions of dance were not only an opportunity to develop my skills, but also to establish valuable relationships with artists from all over the world. We had time to learn more about each other's cultures, traditions, and just have a good time talking and feasting together. In turn, creating together, sharing ideas and inspiring each other made me feel part of something bigger that transcends geographical boundaries.
The first project I participated in was “What if.” Each of us brought our unique experiences and perspectives to this project, which created a space for incredible artistic exchange. Working on this performance was not only a physical challenge for me, but also an emotional one - it forced me to think about my own choices and their consequences. The second project, “Enter the Box,” on the other hand, focused on the theme of limitations - both those imposed externally and those we place on ourselves. We created a performance in which the boundaries of space and body were challenged to be crossed. Together with a team of dancers from Italy, Croatia and Georgia, we explored how space can be manipulated to create the illusion of confinement and freedom at the same time.
Inclusivity, which was the main theme of the residency, became not just a buzzword, but a real experience - showing that dance can be a space for everyone, regardless of differences. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to participate in this project.
