Oct 27. Weld Extended + Przemek Kamiński (PL/DE)
These weeks the project Weld Extended is in focus. For this process we have invited dancers Argyri Samiotaki, Kacper Migas, Sigrid Sjöholm, Yari Stilo, Sanna Lundström to work in the studio with choreographer Przemek Kaminski. The work will be based on a 4-part written score that Przemek is developing. Each part is a distinct dance, based on a set of certain instructions.

The sharing of the work is 20-minutes long and will be followed by a talk. Those who wish are welcome to stay and take part in both sharings.
Weld Extended is a project that is a continuation of our company work and looks different each time it happens. It is primarily an open project with dancers/choreographers who have not worked with us in this constellation before. Here we want to make room for processes that do not necessarily have to have a premiere with all that it entails, but where the focus can be on the work itself.
The invitation to the choreographer is to share their practice, return to older material or create new ones. To create a choreographic material that is then shared through an open showing. This provides an opportunity for the choreographer to step out of habits or to gain an immersion through conditions that provide focus and concentration only on the artistic work.
For the dancer, it provides the opportunity to experience new methods and aesthetics, to be both enriched and challenged and to meet colleagues with whom they may never have worked before. Weld wants to open up for more Swedish and international dancers and choreographers to work together through curious processes.
PRZEMEK KAMINSKI (PL/DE)
Polish-born, Berlin-based artist, choreographer, performer and educator. His expanded choreographic practice unfolds through various formats and media, and engages with embodiment and poetics of movement, imagination and sensuality, queer pleasures and desires.
This interdisciplinary approach is reflected in his educational background. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in “Dance, Context, Choreography” (HZT lnter-University Centre for Dance Berlin, Berlin University of the Arts) and Master of Arts degree in “Visual and Media Anthropology” (HMKW, Berlin). Complimenting to his academic education, is an abundance of knowledge gathered over the course of many years of studying various forms of dance, improvisation, somatic practices and bodywork techniques.
His choreographic works were presented, amongst others at Cinedans Festival at Eye (Amsterdam), Diskurs Festival (Giessen), HAU Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin), K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg (Hamburg), Kunsthalle Zurich (Zurich), LETO Gallery (Warsaw), Museum of Art (Łódź), Nowy Teatr (Warsaw), Pawilon (Poznań), radialsystem (Berlin), Sophiensaele (Berlin), PQ Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space (Prague), Tanztage Festival (Berlin).
An essential part of his artistic practice is designing and facilitating experimental learning formats – spaces of collective research, exploration and sharing – as a way to generate embodied forms of knowledge. So far, he has facilitated workshops at K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg (Hamburg), University of Fine Art (Dresden), Centre in Motion (Warsaw), LOFFT (Leipzig), radialsystem (Berlin), DOCH The School of Dance and Circus (Stockholm) and others.
He was a choreographer in residence at K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg (Hamburg), Workshop Foundation (Budapest) and l.C.l./CCN (Montpellier). He was a grant holder of the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe, Fonds Darstellende Künste or National Performance Network.
As a performer, he collaborated with Nevin Aladag, Juan Dominguez Rojo, Nicole Seiler, Isabelle Schad and Jeremy Shaw.
Weld is supported by Stockholms stad, the Swedish Arts Council and Region Stockholm
