(Non-)tectonic changes
— Octavia E. Butler
(Non-)Tectonic Changes is a choreographic performance created in collaboration with the Youth Coalition for the Time of Chaos—a group of young people (ages 14–18) selected through an open call, who from March to June entered the world of choreography, learning through the body and movement.
The performance is inspired by O.E. Butler’s 1990s story The Parable of the Sower, set in the years 2024–2027. It is a tale of growing up in a world in crisis, posing the question: how can we be together when the conditions around us are falling apart and transforming? Change is not always a choice—it is a process that shapes people. How do we find ourselves in the midst of it? How do the constant transformations of relationships, the environment, and living conditions affect people? Should we be the change or simply cope with it?
In the performance, the practice of movement becomes a tool for observation and action—a way of being within a constantly evolving process. What appears on stage grows out of dialogue—out of being together, negotiating closeness and distance, and reacting to the unpredictable. Change appears here as a process of constant attunement—to other people, to one’s own body, and to changing conditions. It is a record of being together in motion: reacting to what emerges, making decisions in real time, and seeking ways to coexist in a world without fixed points of reference.

Angelika Mizińska
She works at the intersection of choreography, dance art, and somatic education. In her practice, she explores the relationships between the body, community, and the environment, treating movement, improvisation, and choreography as tools for understanding and coexistence. She creates processes based on mindfulness, experimentation, and process-oriented work, in which choreography becomes a relational practice—a way of listening, negotiating, and co-creating reality. Inspired by nature’s strategies, she uses movement to seek models of coexistence based on dignity, diversity, and regeneration. She works in theatrical and site-specific spaces, initiating artistic and educational projects. Her current research focuses on ecosomatics as a practice of embodied relationality.
She studied in the UK, the USA, and Estonia. She is a certified Body-Mind Centering® somatic movement educator (Germany, 2024) and is continuing on the Practitioner path.
