We invite everyone to come to the museum to get a very special experience – to conduct embodiment practice with professional choreographer Svitlana Oleksiuk. During the event, participants will work with their bodies and attention and reveal their influence on the perception of art.
Svitlana Oleksiuk is a dance researcher, choreographer, performer. Works at the intersection of dance, text, video art and architecture. Scientific interests include aesthetic theories of the 20th century, dance of the Ukrainian diaspora. She studied cultural studies at the National University “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” (2004-2010) and classical dance at the Kyiv Choreographic College “Kyianochka” (2009-2011). She received her Master of Arts in Choreography at the University of Music and Dance in Cologne (2016-2018). Since 2005, she has been actively performing as a performer and dancer in theater and dance projects in Ukraine, France, Germany, Austria, and the USA.
We kindly ask participants to wear comfortable clothes in which they can move comfortably. The practice does not involve heavy physical exertion, nor does it require special physical or dance training.
The event takes place as part of the parallel program of the exhibition “How do you Dance in a War Zone?”. In this project visitors can find the powerful medium of dance operating in the most extraordinary and unexpected ways in Ukraine during the war. The exhibition is available for viewing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12:00 to 18:00.
