Sublime

Karolina Kraczkowska – dancer, performer, choreographer, graduate of the Institute of Applied Linguistics at the University of Warsaw and the Dance in Performance program at the Laban Center in London. Member of the Polish Dance Theater from 2004 to 2007. As a freelancer, she has participated in productions by Jasmin Vardimon, Fin Walker, Michaela Keegan-Dolan, Kirstine Kyhl Andersen, Christoph Winkler, Riccardo Buscarini, Leila McMillan, Janina Rajakangas, Uli Sickle, Marten Spangberg, and Tino Sehgal, among others. She is currently associated with the Warsaw community of experimental choreographers, directors, and playwrights, including Paweł Sakowicz (“Masakra” and “Drama”), Ramona Nagabczyńska (“Silenzio!”, “Anonymous Performers” and “I Love Ballet”), Anna Smolar, Anka Herbut, Marta Malikowska and Agata Siniarska, Renata Piotrowska, and Magda Ptasznik. She was a Danceweb scholarship holder in 2016, mentored by Tino Sehgal and Louise Hojer. At the same time, she develops her interests in the field of choreography, creating her own solo works, including at the Chez Bushwick residency in New York in 2016, as part of the performance program at Zachęta (SPA, 2017; Plac Małachowskiego, 2018), Solo Projekt Plus 2018 at Stary Browar, and as part of a cultural scholarship from the city of Lublin (2019 presentation of work in progress at the Wawerskie Centrum Kultury). In these works, she deepens her movement and choreographic practice, exploring the possibilities of bodily transformation and changes in identity based on the perception of the body as a metaphor, an instrument, a tool, an embodiment of the subject that animates it, communicating inner thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The body is perceived as productive and creative, seen not as a fixed, unchanging entity, but as a series of processes of continuous becoming, constitution, integration, and multiplication, striving to increase its potential.

Ramona Nagabczyńska is a dancer and choreographer. She received her artistic education at the Warsaw Ballet High School, the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt and the London Contemporary Dance School in London, and her theoretical education at the SWPS University and the University of Warsaw. She works in Poland and abroad.
Her choreographic works include: ‘New (Dis)Order’ (2012) – selected for Aerowaves in 2014, ‘Re//accumulation’ (2012), ‘The Way Things Dinge’ (2014), ‘pURe’ (2015), ‘MORE’ (2017), “Networking” (2018/19), ‘Body Parts’ (2019) – also selected for Aerowaves, ‘Silenzio!’ (2021), ‘Le Jeu de Massacre’ (2021)- together with Barbara Kinga Majewska, “Blogo” (2022), ‘Anonymous Performers’ (2024) and ‘Hate Haus’ (2024) – together with the Hertz Haus collective.
