ART Habens
Gosia Mielech
respect my audience a lot, so when I build a performance I think about how certain aspects of it will influence them, but I don’ t wonder whether they will like it or not. It’ s not about mutual sympathy, I want to take them on a journey and evoke reflections. It doesn’ t matter if they are an educated contemporary dance enthusiasts or just a random person. The spectator is my companion, someone I care about. I take him on a journey, talk to him, share feelings, build trust, however I’ m always going to be a separate individual, no matter how much we’ ve been through together. Art for me is about sharing the magic, creating a“ parallel universe” in which the viewer can dream and live the experience. Its roots were still firmly set in the root of the social world.
Thanks a lot for your time and your thoughts, Małgorzata. My last question deals with your future plans: what ' s next for you? Anything coming up for you professionally that you would like readers to be aware of?
Thank you for asking me all these intriguing questions. They were quite personal and challenging – I enjoyed this interview a lot.
I have a very exciting time ahead of me. I will be involved in a variety of interesting collaborations and performing my own dance pieces nationally and internationally. I will be creating a couple of projects in Poznań, Cultural Center Zamek( an interdisciplinary institution presenting the most interesting phenomena of contemporary culture, such areas as visual arts, theatre, film, music and literature). I will be involved in Arbor Cosmica; Andrzej Panufnik ' s jubilee and‘ My Music’ project. I will also participate in a research project with Isabelle Schad( Berlin based choreographer) in Old Brewery, New Dance. I will be performing‘ Anonymous’ project in London( The Place) from 4th until 8thof November. I would love to invite all our readers to join me there.
