Gosia Mielech Poland
I am a freelance artist based in Poland. I am a dancer, teacher, creator and a researcher involved with DanceLab. I was a soloist in the Polish Dance Theatre and had the pleasure to collaborate with many supreme choreographers and directors, what gave me a various amount of artistic tools and creative incentives. I was dancing in the whole repertoire of Polish Dance Theatre and working with many choreographers including in particular: Ohad Naharin, Yossi Berg, Jacek Przybyłowicz, Gunhild Bjoernsgaard, Susanne Jaresand, Ewa Wycichowska and many others. Now I am co-founder of DanceLab, an independent dance company and co? creator of choreography and other artistic projects for the group. The Premiere of“ Sababa”( chor. M. Mielech, Z. Jakubiec) and“ We bleed the same color”( chor. Shi Pratt) happened in June 2013 at the Polish Theatre in Poznań. I also co? created a multidimensional artistic project called DanceLabirynth as well as „ Nilreb”? a piece to sum up DanceLab’ s residency in Berlin. I have toured with performances from DanceLab’ s repertory in( Berlin, Jena, Jerusalem, Wroclaw, Krakow, Poznan), taking artistic residencies( Berlin – Uferstudios) and developing my dance skills by participating in various dance projects, festivals and numerous dance workshops.
Lisa Birke Canada
Lisa Birke is a Canadian artist who situates between the tradition of painting, digital video and performance art. She received an MFA with distinction from the University of Waterloo in 2013, where she held the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Master’ s Scholarship and the University of Waterloo President’ s Graduate Scholarship. Lisa Birke examines notions of‘ self’ through the lens of gender, bringing the cultural tropes of woman into focus and into question. Filmed unaccompanied in the Canadian landscape, absurd yet insightful performative acts become entangled in nuanced and complex narratives in single and multichannel video works that make reference to art history, mythology and popular culture. Revealing what lies beneath the surface of femininity, her work toys with a conclusion that is problematic, comi-tragic, and most essentially, human.
