From October till the end of November 2015, Anna and two of her coworkers: Aleksandra Osowicz and Weronika Pelczyńska will be staying in Budapest for a VARP Performing Arts residency hosted by the L1 Association and supported by the Polish Institute in Budapest. During this time, they will develop a project focused on dreaming, using a dream dialogue and perspective shifts as tools for sourcing movement, choreography and composition.
The research will be one of numerous steps in the bigger DREAM STATES project, comprising of workshops, and simultaneously developing a performative trio based in the dreams of the dancers. Their piece will premiere in January 2016 in the Art Stations Foundation by Grażyna Kulczyk in Poznań.

Anna Nowicka (PL) is a choreographer and performer. She received a master?s degree inpsychology from the Warsaw University, graduated from the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, and obtained an MA in choreography at the HfS Ernst-Busch/HZT in Berlin. In recent years, expanding on her long term interest in the work on dreams, imagination and physical actions, she started developing tools to be applied to artistic creation. Her focus lies on the questions of imagination and creativity, and the potential of images to expand the body into the state of continuous becoming.
