My journey with Contact Improvisation started in (around) 2017. In 2019 I had a chance to study in China, where Contact began to be important part of my life. As a dancer and mostly as a human i found relief and drive to move thanks to Contact Improvisation.

Hard dance training was taking away from me my own essence of movement. In practise of Contact I reconnected to "my/not my dance". 

I lead Contact Improvisation group in Katowice since 2022. I constantly participate in CI festivals/workshops etc.
