Paweł Sakowicz ‘Storm’

His hips moved with a slow grace, the hips of someone who has danced in front of mirrors long enough to seduce himself. The reflection was so clear that the iliofemoral became the strongest ligament of his entire body.

Paweł Sakowicz 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, Warsaw), “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). He has shown his work at, among others, the Divine Comedy Festival, Santarcangelo Festival, Zürcher Theater Spektakel, Warsaw Gallery Weekend, Sirenos Festival, La Biennale de danse du Val-de-Marne, Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Muzeum Susch, Kunsthaus Hamburg, Tramway Glasgow, CAC New Orleans, NYU Skirball and Bohemian National Hall in New York.
