We invite all artists and producers working in the field of dance and choreography in Poland to participate in one of two proposed workshops. The first workshop is dedicated to emerging artists and producers and the second to more established ones. Both workshops will aim at preparing the dance community to navigate effectively and meaningfully their relationships with presenters during the Polish Dance Platform. The proposed practices, exercises and tools will support the participants to identify the right interlocutors, to speak eloquently about their work and to engage in conversation with confidence and purpose with a view to initiate new and long-term connections.

She has educated in Public Administration area. She has a specific curatorial expertise in connecting artists and their art to context, place and society, and considers art and culture as a socio-political practice to activate imagination, creativity and change. She is currently doing a dissertation on dance-specific curatorial practices at the University of Melbourne and is co-editor of Dancehouse Diary.
