In September 2023, I had the privilege of choreographing the grand opening of Kunszt Wodny, the new headquarters of the Institute of Urban Culture in Gdańsk. This project allowed me to bring my artistic work back to my hometown and reconnect with the community where my dance journey began. In partnership with the IP Group, 18 performers, three musicians, and an audience of over 2,000 visitors, we inaugurated a vibrant space in the heart of the city. Kunszt Wodny now stands as a dynamic cultural hub, offering diverse programs for people of all ages, backgrounds, and needs, alongside a co-working space and vital infrastructure supporting the local dance scene.
