about

Dancer, choreographer, performance artist and musician. Weronika trained to be a musician, studying piano and Emile Jacques-Dalcroze’s Eurhythmics for over 12 years in Poznan, Poland. Later her artistic interests shifted towards contemporary dance and choreography. She trained in London, studying dance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and participating in workshops led by Luke Pell, Freddie Opoku Addaie, Kira O'Reilly, Sonia Rafferty, Simonetta Alessandri, Robert Anderson and Seven Sisters Group among others. Her site-specific works 'Alabaster Song' (2012) and 'Stop Staring. It's Not Polite' (2013) were selected out of 1600 applications to be shown in Stockholm in August 2013. She is constantly looking for innovative, original and fresh movement language and new ways to express her ideas.
Weronika's interests in dance include site-specific performance, installations, dance film and interdisciplinary works. Being both a musician and a dancer, Weronika is very open to collaboration between various art forms and artists. She is also interested in community dance and recently completed an internship with an integrated company for professional disabled and non-disabled performers, Stopgap Dance Company. Currently she also experiments with conceptual dance and performance art studying MA Dance Theatre: The Body in Performance at Trinity Laban in London. Her current research explores intimacy and exchange within performer-audience encounter and human hair as a powerful symbol of the individual and group identity.
