DESCRIPTION
Shoal is a series of choreographic group activities based on non-hierarchical social constructs that are disregarded by humans and successfully function in non-human nature. The realization, being a reflection on the principles of social co-existence, the processes of shaping and deforming the hierarchy, takes the form of a video installation that documents the joint movement searches and transforms into therapeutic sessions in the practical dimension.
GALLERY INFO
Utopia Home – International Empathy Centre is a new, hyper-modern space of the Łaźnia Nowa Theater, established in the heart of the Szkolne housing estate in Nowa Huta. From 2021, Łaźnia has been using this location to carry out its separate non-theatrical programme. At Utopia Home, we will approach art and creative energy with tenderness, convinced that they have the power to improve the quality of everyday life.
