In Pursuit of Other Possibilities (IPOP): a queer feedback toolkit
Have you ever received feedback that truly empowered you and your practice? The Amsterdam-based queer pedagogy and feedback platform In Pursuit of Otherwise Possibilities (IPOP) has developed a needs-based approach to working with artistic feedback. This experimental and performative method is rooted in community work methodology, conscious consent, somatic practice – engaging the experience of body and mind – and queer knowledge.
The Polish premiere of the publication will be accompanied by a two-day practical workshop facilitated by Elioa Steffen, alex blum, and Szymon Adamczak.

A speculative artist and facilitator working in dance, visual arts, and curatorship, based in Amsterdam. Her work focuses on the intersection of communal narratives, cultural norms, and systemic violence. At the heart of Elioa's practice is the pursuit of queer belonging – an effort to entangle with others and the world beyond the normative structures we have inherited.
Elioa Steffen
(she/her, USA/NL)
An artist, writer, and interdisciplinary theater and performance maker. A graduate of Das Arts/DAS Theatre and THIRD artistic research. With experience in art organization and programming, he is interested in the proximity of artistic practice and civic engagement. As a dramaturg and pedagogue, he frequently collaborates with LGBTQ+ artists in theater, dance, and performance. His practice is intertwined with AIDS/HIV activism.
Szymon Adamczak
(he/his, PL/NL)
A choreographer, political scientist, somatic activist, and writer based between Copenhagen and Amsterdam, where she/they graduated from the School for New Dance Development. Since 2025, alex has served as the artistic leader of the HAUT residency center in Copenhagen. Through dance performances, somatic workshops, and texts, alex explores exclusion through embodied listening and (non)consensual touch. By questioning whose voices are heard, whose bodies are seen, cared for, mourned, and commemorated, alex seeks sensual detours from identity politics to free the moving body from its political fixations of 'gender' and 'whiteness'.
