“Choreography at the Center: PROCESS – Final Presentations” showcases short performative works prepared by participants of an advanced experimental choreography course organized by the Burdąg Foundation. The course ran from September to December 2025 and took place at Studio Burdąg and Centrum w Ruchu.
The program included individuals with choreographic experience who were developing their own projects: Paulina Fonferek, Barbara Derleta, Agata Skrzypek, Kinga Senczyk, Klaudia Korzeniowska, Marta Czajkowska, Agata Gregorkiewicz, Ola Bratkowska, Marcin Miętus, Magdalena Siemaszko, Emma Szumlas, Wojtek Kozak, Anna Mendrek, Ania Maj, and Aleksandra Konieczna.
The course was led by Marta Ziółek, Przemek Kamiński, and Maria Stokłosa. The program focused on practice, experimentation, and feedback exchange among participants. In this approach, choreography is understood broadly – extending beyond the composition of movement to become a method of embodied thinking, a tool for analysis and reflection, and a form of action in response to the complexities of the contemporary world.
