11:00 -"KoczkodanSE"
.
Spectacle with no age limit, dedicated to children from 6 to 11 years old
Animals are the closest living creatures to humans. We love them, we enjoy their presence, and at the same time we try to dominate them without finding out what they feel. In the play, exotic animals known from the zoo introduce children to a fabulously colorful world, discovering their true nature, beauty and wisdom. This is the first educational performance in the history of the Polish Dance Theater for audiences aged 6 to 11, which is complemented by an artistic and educational presentation available on the theater's website.
"KoczkodanSE" infects with empathy for animals and passion for dance, bringing the power of knowledge, fun and emotion.

11:00 -"InstynkTY"
.
spectacle for children under 3 years of age
.
"InstynkTY" is a movement-based answer to the question of what connects humans and animals. How do we build closeness, create a home, search? Through movement, actions with objects, light, sound, we want to involve very young children and adults close to them in an interaction based on what connects (and at the same time nowadays so distant) humans with the world of animals - INSTINCTS.
The show is a response to the question of what connects humans and animals.
The performance invites to a safe, cozy space where families will be free to explore the sensory world built from the dancers' bodies and costumes. With full acceptance and in openness to each person present - we will create a story without words about the encounters, actions and relationships that lie in our nature, which each being creates from birth. The multitude of colors and textures, gentle music and balanced, inclusive actions have been created based on the years of experience of the show's creators in realizing performances for very young children.
"Instincts" - a performance from the current of new choreography - draws inspiration from the intertwining of wildness of nature and man. Its central premise is the desire to share with the audience the beauty and uniqueness of natural phenomena, and to encourage them to look at the surrounding reality as a space of magic and beautiful relationships.
The performance is a new work.

Dance jaMaMa #naTaczaka - movement and sound improvisation meetings open to every person.
Dance jaMa #naTaczaka.
Dance jaMy provides an opportunity for free expression and creative exchange, regardless of experience or age. Each person is his or her own choreographer - improvising, composing his or her dance in real time, influenced by impulses coming from inside and outside. Intuitively, without the need for dance technique, she seeks her authentic movement, tuning individual expression and the pleasure of creating "here and now" with attentiveness to others and responsiveness.
The meeting will be led by Evelyn Blue, a dancer with the Polish Dance Theater.
.
We will begin with a brief introduction and warm-up.
We'll be sure to have a brief introduction and warm-up.
