Polish-born London-based dance artist Kasia Witek is a graduate of Northern School of Contemporary Dance (2009), Jasmin Vardimon's postgraduate diploma in Physical Theatre at Royal Holloway (2010) and London Contemporary Dance School (Distinction, 2015).

 

As a dancer she has performed in the works of Rosemary Lee, Lea Anderson, Henrietta Hale, Renaud Wiser, Paolo Mangiola, Mafalda Deville, Marquez and Zangs touring both within the UK and internationally. In 2018 she has performed a solo work with London Symphony Orchestra. She choreographed for Polish National Theatre, National Puppetry Theatre in Warsaw, opera and film. Her work has been premiered at UN Climate Change Conference COP24. 

 

Kasia’s choreographic work ranges between installation, video, theatre and outdoor performance. As a maker she deals with themes of intelligence of the body and environmental empathy. Working with ecocentric values at the forefront she looks at the connectivity between human body and non-human others. Letting the moving be the solving.

 

She has a particular interest in music and enjoys collaborating closely with composers. Her short dance film Maoz Tsur, based on the eponymous track by electro-acoustic chamber ensemble Sefiroth, has been screened at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. 

 

Her choreographic works to date include Arvoles (2013), Slow Knowing (2014), You, Passing (2015), one wall of me (2019), Solastalgia (2023) and Kat Austen’s The Matter Of the Soul (2018) among others.

​

Kasia is a recipient of Exit Visa Residency at The Place (2016) and an Associate Artist with Polish Cultural Centre in London. Her work has been funded by Arts Council England and Leeds Inspired Fund and supported by Coventry University, Climate Psychology Alliance, Greenpeace, Kala Sangam Arts, Theatre and Artist Development at The Place and Northern School of Contemporary Dance among others.
