Project summary

The project aims to support Ewa Dziarnowska in the process of creating her new performance “Signature Dances (working title)”. An emerging Polish artist based in Berlin, Dziarnowska works between performance, choreography, and visual installation: her work investigates the fragile relationship between body, intimacy, and memory, translating personal experiences into collective gestures. At an early stage of her career, Dziarnowska demonstrates a rare maturity, positioning her as one of the most promising voices of her generation. Three institutions will be mentoring the process: Santarcangelo, Zürcher Theater Spektakel, and Kunstenfestivaldesarts. The public presentation during the 56th edition of the Festival will be the opportunity to meet wide network of international curators.

Artist

Ewa Dziarnowska

Biography: Ewa Dziarnowska is a Polish dancer and choreographer based in Berlin, working across performance, collaboration and research. Her recent projects – "This resting, patience" and "A Room With a Better View" (Display Gallery x Berlin Art Week) – reflect her sustained inquiry into improvisation as both method and philosophy. Her practice unfolds in real time, balancing precision and spontaneity while questioning the social and aesthetic frameworks through which dance is produced, witnessed and circulated. Her work has been shown at venues and festivals such as Sophiensaele, Tanzquartier Wien, Gessnerallee, Ephemera Festival. As a performer, most recently Dziarnowska has worked with Alex Baczyński-Jenkins, Michele Rizzo, Ofelia Jarl Ortega and Enad Marouf.
