Weronika Pelczyńska

I am a choreographer, dancer and performer. I studied at the Experimental Academy of Contemporary Dance SEAD in Salzburg, at the Warsaw University of Technology (Faculty of Production Engineering and Faculty of Management) and at the University of Warsaw (Institute of Polish Culture). I have received scholarships from various programmes: DanceWEB ImpulsTanz (2013), Carte Blanche (2013) and Alternative Dance Academy (2017 and 2019). As a dancer and performer, I have collaborated with choreographers in Poland, Germany, Austria, France and Croatia (including Matej Kejžar, Davis Freeman, Maria Stokłosa, Stephanie Thiersch, Jozef Fruck, Linda Kapetanea, Johannes Wieland, Rafaela Giovanola, Anna Nowicka and Ben J. Riepe). Since 2010, I have been choreographing for theatres, films, music videos, and commercials. I have worked with Agnieszka Glińska, Anna Seniuk, Magda Szpecht, Grzegorz Laszuk, Robert Jarosz, Zuzanna Solakiewicz, Barbara Sass-Zdort, Agnieszka Holland, Michał Marczak, Bartek Prokopowicz, Aneta Grzeszykowska, Monika Brodka, Mata and Quebonafide and many others. As of 2011, I have worked on individual and collective art projects, including Europe. Investigation, It Will Come Later, Bullet, Still Standing and Female Sculptors. I co-curated them with Iza Szostak, Magda Jędra, Agata Szcześniak, Aleksandra Janus, Monika Szpunar, Magda Fejdasz, and Patrycja Kowańska, among others. During my career, I also curated the “Movement at the Institute” programme (2017-2019) which consisted of running regular movement and body awareness classes for actors, performers and thespians. Between 2018-2020, I was involved with the international collective iCoDaCo. I co-founded the Centre in Motion and the sisterhood practice initiative. I teach at the Theatre Studies Department at the Theatre Academy in Warsaw.
