This Saturday and Sunday, 27 & 28 July, Małgorzata Haduch is going to conduct a Passing Through workshop session for the general public (no age restrictions apply) at Warsaw’s Ujazdowski Park. On Saturday the workshops will last from 1 to 3 pm, while on Sunday, from 1 to 2 pm.
What is more, on Saturday at 4 pm Małgorzata Haduch (dance) and Paulina Owczarek (saxophone) will perform Duet o 4 [Duo at 4]. The performance unfolds very closely to the audience, almost brushing against them; it takes notice of each individual viewer, concentrates energy close by and forms a unique bond with them. (More)
In turn on Sunday, 28 July, at 4, Haduch and her guest dancers will present the performance Passing ThroughZielony Jazdów#2 set to the music by Paulina Owczarek and Spain’s Vasco Trilla.
All of the events are part of the Zielony Jazdów/Green Jazdów programme.
Passing Through is a group composition based on the language of improvisation of the renowned choreographer David Zambrano. It is spontaneous choreography, full of joy and energy. The practice’s key words are: travelling in space, following your thoughts, cohesion (resistance to the separation of bodies), expansion of bodies, a search for spirals in the body and space. Its most important element is team work, creating a group composition. Małgorzata Haduch’s project Passing Through Zielony Jazdówcombines this fascinating form of movement and live free jazz.
Haduch’s guests will perform at Green Jazdów four times, employing on each occasion the choreographic structure of Passing Through, and using more and more elements of this language of dance. The final presentation, to take place on 4 August, is going to use an advanced version of the Passing Through method, explored by the dancers during subsequent sessions at CSW Laboratory. Each performance will be set to live music.

Małgorzata Haduch’s Passing Through Zielony Jazdówtakes inspiration from the international project of choreographer David Yambrano, 50 Days Costa Rica(San Jose, Costa Rica), in which the artist took part in 2010. The only Pole selected by Zambrano, she joined other artist from across the globe forming a group of 50, who spent 50 days exploring the techniques of dance and composition created by Zambrano, known internationally as Flying Low and Passing Through. Zambrano’s project was intended to inspire young artists to use, change and adapt his techniques of movement in their own artistic investigations. Małgorzata Haduch and the other participnts of 50 Days Costa Ricamake up 50collectiVe. One of their initiatives is Passing Through Project, a series of international performances and workshops using the Passing Through technique. To date the project has been realised in the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Italy, Cuba and the USA. Małgorzata Haduch’s individual touch is the fusion of dance and live improvised free jazz.
