WHY NOT COLLECTIVE?
Why not? arised in 2018 after finishing studies from theatrical, performative and dance-oriented pedagogical studies by formal participants and it appeared as an inside need of creation and continuity sharing a collective thoughts.
It brings the utopian challange of working democratically and together to confront the reality of having one decision-making role. It demands a lot of work from each performer especially in the process, which is seen as same important as the result. Ideally it is a way of finding new ways of research and production-making by confronting and exposing it to the group before it is delivered to the audience.
„We laugh, we play, we dance but sometimes we fight, we cry, we get sick of each other. But the reason for that is higher than us. We all do care.”

PRACA KOLEKTYWNA
Why not? Collective powstał w 2018 roku po ukończeniu przez formalnych uczestników studiów teatralnych, performatywnych i pedagogicznych zorientowanych na taniec i pojawił się jako wewnętrzna potrzeba tworzenia i ciągłości dzielenia się zbiorową myślą.
Niesie ze sobą utopijne wyzwanie demokratycznej pracy i wzajemnej konfrontacji z rzeczywistością posiadania jednej roli decyzyjnej. Wymaga to od każdego wykonawcy wiele pracy, szczególnie w procesie, który jest postrzegany jako tak samo ważny jak wynik. W idealnej sytuacji jest to sposób na poszukiwanie nowych sposobów badań i tworzenia poprzez przedstawienie ich przed grupą, zanim zostaną zaprezentowane publiczności.
"Śmiejemy się, gramy, tańczymy, ale czasami walczymy, płaczemy, mamy dość siebie nawzajem. Ale powód tego jest wyższy od nas. Wszystkich nas to obchodzi."
SHADES
The space in between. The grey zone…
In all of its many different Shades,
People in all their many different layers,
And with their own, very specific and very sacred individuality.
‘Do we really dare to be ourselves? Shedding off ALL of our protective layers, all of our masks, until we are naked, standing in front of ourselves, facing ourselves, each other, in all honesty and truth?’
‘Do we realize the power and the LOVE that lies within that purity? The fact that we are a whole, together? ONE?
‘Do we dare, to face our fears and no longer be afraid? Do we dare to trust?’
This whole process becomes a beautiful play of light and shadow.

BDSM VOL.2
On the border of the Silesian Upland and the Olkusz Upland an interesting project is being created, the place of action is the Bledowska Desert, the biggest desert among Europe (sick!), where for the second year in a row a group of friends meets to create music, which they call desert rock, accompanied by visual arts and dance.
