Actors and actresses workshop (in Polish)

On the 16th and 17th of September 2023 at the WOK Lab we invited actors and actresses to take part in a workshop led by Agnieszka Glińska and Weronika Pelczyńska. During the workshop, we looked for tools and methods for inner stabilisation and stimulation.

The starting point of the one-and-a-half-day workshop was to focus our attention on experiencing ourselves as a source of inspiration in the acting profession. We focused on how working with one’s own body shapes our inner and group sense of security and how it can influence the individual acting skills. Drawing on the heritage of contact improvisation, as well as the Gestalt approach, we looked at how body and movement awareness can help us care for our own and collective boundaries in the here and now.

When do we feel safe in our artistic work and what conditions need to be in place for us to consciously create, improvise, and perform? How can we take care of ourselves when we are experiencing ourselves in a group and create the necessary sense of security?


The workshop is organised as part of Agnieszka Glińska’s residency at WOK.
