KAROLINA ANIOŁKOWSKA

I am a dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher.

In my work, I primarily seek the metaphorical dimension of movement, where gesture often takes precedence over complex movement sequences. Through creating and interpreting dance, my aim is to move the audience deeply, creating a mirror in which each person can look within themselves through movement, its intention, and the emotions and metaphors it conveys. In my creative process, I focus especially on the flow of movement and its contrasts, placing great emphasis on the refinement of every, even the smallest, detail.

For many years, I have divided my artistic practice between Poland and France, where I have collaborated with, among others, the Hallet Eghayan company on the performance La transgression éthique in Lyon, with the Emanuel Gat Company during the Summer Intensive in Marseille, and with Carolyn Carlson in a Masterclass at Atelier de Paris. Since 2021, I have been part of the collective Les Indomptables in Paris (choreography: Aurelia Jarry). Since May 2024, I have been working as a dancer with the Łódź Dance Theatre – Contemporary Ballet (choreography: Marek Ludwisiak). In the 2024/25 season, I collaborated with the Zawirowania Dance Theatre in Warsaw in the performance Back to Dance (choreography: Elwira Piorun). From 2016 to 2018, I was a member of the Jazgot Dance Theatre (choreography: Aneta Bułka).

In 2023, I completed a one-year professional program for dancers with the Hallet Eghayan company in Lyon. In March 2024, I completed a basic acting course at the École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Avignon. I have also trained with many respected choreographers and teachers in Poland, including Maciej Kuźmiński, Natalia Wojciechowska, and Paweł Michno. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Choreography at the Academy of Music in Łódź.
