June 6th
*Where??*
Krakow – Szpitalna 40 – contact space
*Ilan Lev:*
Ilan Lev’s method towards improvisation and contact improvisation.
It’s a way of combining somatic bodywork and dance. Ilan Lev’s method is derived from the Feldenkrise method, but has a completely different and unique approach. It involves flowing movement, vibrations, bouncing, introducing the body through images, and irregular weight release (walk fall). In this method, we work through somatic solo work with improvisation and group moments. In my approach, I love combining technical aspects and the freedom of improvisation, which are interwoven with play and surprise.
The Ilan Lev Method is a therapy that focuses on the body’s structure, the connection between bones and bodily fluids. Movement is introduced to the body through leaning, rocking, and stretching. Breathing and smiling support the process of releasing tension and surrendering to softness. Irregularity brings the body to a state of alertness and surprise, which awakens new paths and creativity.
**Soft Acrobatics: Threes**
We will work primarily in threes.
Using our own bone structure and that of the dancers, we will strive for light, effortless lifts, transitions, and combinations.
What you will learn:
Listening to yourself and others through touch and more
Body anatomy through practical application in movement
️♂️ Using leverage to lead another person
Lifts using bones
♂️ Lifts, leading using leverage
♂️ Effortless movement
⛷️ Expand your solo movement skills
Find new movement paths that will open up new perspectives (movement windows).
Our research will be supported by anatomical principles, the Ilan Lev method, BMC, and other movement approaches. We will play with levers and forces to learn, release, and reorganize habitual body patterns.
Together, we will discover how to travel in space, finding fluidity in solos, duets, and groups. We will experiment with small lifts, shifts, and jumps 🙂
This perspective breaks familiar patterns and brings joy and surprise.
So let’s enjoy, experiment, and help “our bodies fly :)”

About the presenters:
Paweł Konior
Performer, facilitator, teacher, therapist
After graduating from the Academy of Physical Education and the Experimental Dance Academy in Salzburg in 2010, Paweł has been actively involved in the performing arts throughout Europe as a dancer and performer.
In addition to performing on stage, Paweł began teaching contact improvisation and improvisation, using them as a source of creativity, connection, and embodiment.
For Paweł, contact improvisation is a form of listening at its peak. When one, two, or more bodies are attuned enough to truly listen—to the transient movement within the body, between bodies, and in space—they are ready for the unknown. From this emptiness, everything reveals itself, and everything becomes possible. In this state, nothing is good or bad. We learn to move together, resonating with everything around us. We are not trapped in what was or what will be, but present in what is—here and now—with everything that surrounds us.
His athletic background has strongly influenced his movement and teaching style, where improvisation is interwoven with technique and play. Paweł has a distinctive and organic approach, characterized by spontaneity and curiosity. He creates an environment that encourages people to adapt to ever-changing situations, helping them discover and nurture their true potential. His work is inspired by Ilan Lev’s therapy, martial arts, contemporary dance, tai chi, BMC, and sports.
“We are never in equilibrium. The search for harmony and balance is a constant process, and fun is an essential element.
Neirol – Bartosz Majchrowicz – a DJ from Krakow who has been exploring various genres of dance music, both electronic and instrumental, for over a decade. He has performed at some of Poland’s most interesting festivals (including Uroczysko, LAS, Totem, Tribalanga, Bagnowianki), numerous local events, and in the UK. He co-founds the Omnisoma collective and the Krakow event series Omnisoma and pSynestezja. He has also led ecstatic dance journeys and cocoa ceremonies. In his dance-oriented sets, he emphasizes rhythmic fluidity, a movement-inspiring groove, and also a story, guiding listeners between genres, emotions, and various forms of movement expression.
