"how do you like me?"

  • idea, choreography & dance: Dominika Knapik
  • directed by: Wojtek Klimczyk
  • music: collage

“I’m sitting, I’m walking, because I like running. Origins unknown. I’m standing on my hands, I’m looking, touching. I’m moving my legs, my back, my elbows. I’m braiding, throwing, carrying, leaving. Cheerful looks, sunny smiles, clean clothes. I can’t feel anything except my own body. Sometimes a bear, a car, a dress. Dominika. For the time being this person does not exist.”

The solo was created as a part of SOLO PROJEKT 2007, the Art Stations Foundation Residency Programme. www.starybrowarnowytaniec.pl
