Art stations fundation - by Grażyna Kulczyk

Carefree Lightness of Being builds bridges of trust and mutual acceptance. It is a special bonding event for children and adults based on the contact improvisation method. The goal is to create a common space for playing and to show acceptance to your child and yourself by immersing in the now and in freedom from barriers brought about by awareness of the body and relaxation. Starting the class with relaxation techniques will help to integrate the group and, since nothing is as good in brining people together as empathy, the participants will learn from one another. In this project, both children and adults will be each others’ guides and will create a dance class together. Staging scenes and stories through movement, everyone will have the chance to show their inventiveness, work in a group and develop their ability to tell stories using gestures.

Magdalena Woskowicz is a graduate of Cultural Studies at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, who ultimately abandoned film critique and journalism for dance. Fascinated by the contemporary dance technique, her dream is to teach regular classes to children from an early age. She believes that children have a natural propensity for this type of movement and, consequently, she promotes contemporary dance among parents.
