Fire dancing workshops [with Agata Piesiewicz and Marcin Połoniewicz]

The workshops, taught by experienced dancers, will consist of physical training with equipment, acrobatic training and learning basic dance moves. Oriental music and Eastern outfits will create an exotic atmosphere. This magical dance, combined with a powerful element and a subtle soundtrack will allow you to acquire a new, interesting skill, but also is an extraordinary experience in its own right. The workshops will consist of two three hours blocks. The first part will take place on Saturday, and the second one on Sunday. The sessions will include an introduction to the topic, exercises with equipment separated by breaks for group integration, and also elements of acrobatics. At the end of the workshops you will have an opportunity to present your newly acquired skills in short performances with equipment, either individually, in pairs or in groups. The open format of the workshops allows you to participate along with friends or a partner, giving you an excellent possibility to have a good time together to the sounds of Japanese music.

Making masks from sponge workshop [with Ola Gronowska]

An original open format workshop, giving everyone a chance to try their hand at visual arts. Elastic sponge is a material which can be easily (and enjoyably) formed into most incredible shapes. Use your imagination, awaken you creativity and make that mask your favourite character wears, or simply one that suits your own face!

Paper, paper and one more time paper. What can you make from a single, flat paper sheet? A little heart-shaped gift for your significant other? Or maybe something more complex and skill demanding? So many ideas, so many possibilities! We don't bite, and with our help you can certainly turn a simple sheet of paper into a little work of art. Join our origami workshop! Our (wicked) plans include a short presentation, and then plenty of hands-on practice!
