Kinga Jaczewska

PL, BE ◊ https://www.kinga-jaczewska.com/

Kinga Jaczewska is a Polish performer and maker. She studied at the London Contemporary Dance School, the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, and P.A.R.T.S., where she graduated in 2012. She has worked with artists such as Karl Van Welden and Andros Zins-Browne, and is currently developing her own work. Kinga is interested in bringing focus to what happens in-between what we see as focal points or defined events: the so-called grey zones and to the process itself.

Projects

Meanwhile (2019)

Meanwhile' is a (video) installation for floating sculptures where meantime – time with no significant meaning to itself, seen barely as a connecting tissue between more defined times and events, is the main focus.

Residencies

Raw Tender (working title) (2023)

During the residency at Wp Zimmer, Kinga worked both on a technical and visual research for her BRUT project which is to have its premiere in March 2024 as well as she began to develop a new work 'Raw Tender' which was commissioned by Marres, house for contemporary culture in Maastricht.

Research residency (2020)

Inspired by the quote of H.Bergson: “Since our body is not a mathematical point but always a duration”, Kinga’s searches for continuity of her own body and for ways to approach it as a duration. By focusing on its physical weight she explores different ways of grounding. Through this research Kinga wonders if by allowing gravity to (re)enter her body, she could resist the speed of the progressive time and allow the ‘non-event’ time to come up to the surface.

Grey (2017)

Grey is a continuation of Kinga Jaczewska’s research based on constant movements and silent transformations.

PRL (2015)

PRL (Polish Random Leisures) takes its inspiration from an intriguing and turbulent phase of Polish history between 1952 and 1989: a period marked by contradictions and known as the communist era of the Polish People’s Republic.
