Let's "pause" together in Potsdam. Nature is in full action, trees in sweet scented bloom, violet petals bathing in the sun, heavy bumble bees licking the nectar, buzzing, chirping and flying away. And yet, without the pause, creation is not complete. Practice the pause in @fabrikpotsdam during TanzTage 2026. We will dance and pause, finding the right rhythm for the magic of creation to happen. What happens in the pause? How does the pause transform the mundane? Link in bio!

These are photos of @_patmic from the presentation of "Uvula" in the @pawilontanca in Warsaw in February. I am very grateful for them, because I've heard that my work is challenging to be captured. It is so much about what happens in between the movements, in the way I attend to the dancing and I am present with the audience. Some say that through the body one peeks into another reality. If you want to practice this embodied approach, come to "Pause" in Potsdam: a three day workshop I am teaching within the Potsdamer Tanztage, 5-7.06. Can you dance and still hold space for the creation to happen through you? What is possible in the empty space between you and the other? How does pause complete creation? Link in bio.

In February I performed "Uvula" in @pawilontanca in Warsaw. Such a generous space, and heartful, present audience. Thank you! And a big thank you to my collaborators: Aleksandr Prowaliski @prowalinski for your incredible lights: a sense-felt, immaterial reality that dances with me. And thank you for finding yet a third, creative way of using the parachute as scenography! Curious what comes next! Jasmine Guffond @jasmineguffond for coming up again and again with new soundscapes that vibrate, buzz, sing, whisper and tenderly play with my soul! Pawilon has such an incredible soundsystem that I heard unknown depths in it! And thank you to the whole team who made this piece possible: Dramaturgical support: Aleksandra Osowicz @aleksandra_osowicz , Jette Büchsenschütz @jette_ca Production assistance, PR: Agnė Auželytė @auzelyte Commissioned by the Polish National Gallery Zachęta Warsaw @galeria_zacheta and co-produced with DOCK ART @dock_11_ , funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.

The warmest invitation from Anna Nowicka @adreamwork For her workshop 💫Dreaming Reality💫 28th and 29th of march 2026 10.00-17.00 Deep immersion into collective practice So important during these times @telocvicna_rezidencne.centrum Please spread the word to people who may be curious 🤍 All info in BIO

Eva Priečková/ Falošný Pohyb v spolupráci s Telocvičňou - rezidenčným centrom pre tanec vás vrúcne pozývajú na výnimočný workshop, ktorý prepája pohybovú kolektívnu prax so snením. Vedie ho poľská umelkyňa žijúca v Nemecku - Anna Nowicka. 💫 Anna Nowicka - Dreaming Reality 28. a 29. Marec 2026 10.00 - 17.00 (pauza medzi 13.00 - 14.30) Telocvičňa - Rezidenčné centrum pre Tanec, Nová Cvernovka, Bratislava 💫 Vstupné na oba dni: 40 eur jeden deň možný len v sobotu: 25 eur (s rešpektom voči práci Anny dávame prednosť ľuďom, ktorí sa môžu zúčastniť oboch dní) Link na listky: v BIO Workshop je otvorený ľuďom rôzneho veku, skúseností a profesií. Každú noc – bez výnimky – sa ponárate do snovej reality. Nechávate sa uniesť záplavou zdanlivo nesúvisiacich obrazov, dramatických udalostí, nepredvídaných stretnutí, nesúvislého vývoja a nekonvenčných predsavzatí. Niekedy sa zobudíte hlboko dojatí a inokedy si želáte vymazať túto nočnú cestu. „Bol to len sen,“ hovoríte si. Čo ak tieto nočné dobrodružstvá nie sú len súborom náhodných obrázkov, ale tkajú presný, jasný a hlboko stelesnený obraz každodenného života? Čo ak vám odhalia personalizovanú vnútornú mapu zobrazujúcu možnosti, ktorým čelíte, a možné reakcie na vašu realitu? Prax bude kombinovať intuitívne spôsoby tvorby s vedomými choreografickými voľbami. Ponoríme sa do stelesneného skúmania nočných a bdelých snov a objavíme, ako nás obrazy ovplyvňujú, ako menia našu prítomnosť a formujú naše rozhodnutia. Budeme sa hravo pohybovať medzi skutočným a imaginárnym, medzi konaním a pozorovaním, rozširujúc si povedomie o nekonečnom toku impulzov a vyberieme si, ktorý z nich budeme nasledovať, formovať a stelesňovať. Keď vonkajšie smerovky nefungujú, jediným možným smerom je radikálny návrat dovnútra.Kolektívne objavené odpovede sa aplikujú na život. Z dialógu snívania a bdelej reality sa rozvíja pocit spolupatričnosti, kolektívnej a zdieľanej zodpovednosti Photo credits: Stella Horta Z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia.

Let’s take a moment to look back at this special evening ✨ As part of the exhibition „Der Puls der Oder”, we had the pleasure of presenting “On the one who meanders”, a powerful performance by Anna Nowicka @adreamwork – a poetic journey along the Oder, moving between body, landscape and imagination. A big thank you to Anna Nowicka and Jasmine Guffond, and to our wonderful audience for sharing this inspiring moment with us 💙 #polnischesinstitutberlin #instytutpolski #performance

This upcoming Friday, the 20th of February, at 19.00, I will perform "on the one who meanders" in the gallery of the @polnisches_institut_berlin . It has been a sensous journey to meet the Odra river, listen to it, smell it, sit in the bush quietly, and observe it closely. @jasmineguffond made field recordings and composed a beautiful piece of music. And I will dance for you. So, come to see the final day of the exhibition at the Gallery of the Polish Institute and stay for a drink and a talk! *** While preparing for the work, I had the pleasure to be in residency at @komunawarszawa . The residency is part of the "Open Studio" module – an initiative supporting creative communities in the project "Teatr Komuna Warszawa – Społeczna Instytucja Kultury" (Komuna Warszawa Theater – Social Cultural Institution), co-financed by the City of Warsaw.

Performance artist Anna Nowicka @adreamwork invites for her performance this Friday, 20th of February, in the Gallery of Polish Institute in Berlin. The event is Part of the accompanying program of the exhibition „Der Puls der Oder” with works by Cecylia Malik @cecyliamalik and Tom Kretschmer @lieberanalog_tomkretschmer

I simply love this moment when a dream opens up into a myriad of options. Suddenly, one sees a clear path of light that moves through it, glittering with beauty and life. An invitation to step onto it to retrieve the light, illuminate a different future. A dream shows me how my energy moves and expresses itself. It shows me what I do, how I do it, and what else is possible. There may be a "necessity", this one thing that needs to be done to realign the course of my moving. If you are a practitioner in the dreamwork, and are curious to deepen your understanding of "necessities", I teach a 5-week class at @dreamwithiidi : Wednesdays | February 25 – March 25 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern US (20h30 – 22 CET) Link in bio!
