Storm by Pawel Sakowicz, performed as part of Innovations Dance Platform. Storm is a new solo work by Paweł Sakowicz. Sakowicz, known for such works as the solo Jumpcore and the group pieces like Masakra, Boa and Laguna, in which he explored the history of dance and issues of cultural appropriation in choreography, continues his artistic research into intense physicality and the activation of different parts of the body. In Storm, the main theme is the hips and the energy of change rooted in them. Referring to his personal history of dance and the stylistics of animation and cinema from a century ago, the artist activates his hips, which alternately open, rotate, tense and freeze. Pawel is a Choreographer and dancer. He is particularly interested in the history of dance and issues of cultural appropriation in choreography. Paweł’s works include: Jumpcore (Zachęta – National Gallery of Art), Masakra (Nowy Teatr in Warsaw), Amando (National Museum in Warsaw), Imperial (Komuna Warszawa Theatre), Fatamorgana (Studio Hrdinu in Prague), Boa (National Stary Theatre in Kraków) and Laguna (TR Warszawa). Presentation of Storm at Innovations is supported by Polish Culture Institute, London.
