A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME: My name is Jagoda. In dance and movement, I am most interested in the relationship between the body and emotions. Dance moves me. When I move, I feel alive.
I also feel my limitations and difficulties in dance, which manifest in movement. When I feel like dancing, it is a sign to me that I am in a good place – that life energy is flowing through me. When I do not feel this energy – dance helps me awaken it.
When I dance, sometimes I am tender and delicate, sometimes crazy and wild. I like fooling around, having fun, I like listening and being attentive. I like to give and take.
I have been dancing for as long as I can remember, and 5 years ago I discovered the therapeutic power of dance and began to perceive the body as a tool with which we experience reality.
I have participated in many different workshops, courses and festivals, including: in the Workshops on Improvisation Methodology and the Workshops on Choreography and Movement Composition with Iwona Olszowska, in the Course on Movement Composition, Contemporary Dance and Therapeutic Dance with Alicja Miszczor, Radical Somatics in Contact Improvisation with Christiane Cole. I am a graduate of the Course on Dance Therapy Techniques and Movement Analysis at the IBA Dance and Movement Therapy Centre. Together with Agata Moląg, I run dance classes for people with Parkinson’s disease.
In my workshops, I use exercises that anyone can do, regardless of experience or lack thereof. We dance solo and with others. I draw inspiration for running classes from, among others, intuitive dance, contact improvisation, GAGA language, Dance Movement Therapy.

,,I love listening to the wisdom of the body, moving, dancing, connecting. I draw power from singing, dancing and contact with nature.

"Serdusza" Be Yourself and Dance / start: 17/10
I’m Łukasz Siemieniec
I began my adventure with dance – not counting my childhood and teenage years when I danced ballroom (Class B) – over 5 years ago. Throughout this intense time, I have participated in a vast number of movement and dance workshops, classes, and festivals, where I gained experience and reconnected with my body. I’ve had the pleasure and opportunity to learn dance and movement from many wonderful teachers – both Polish and international.
My main root is Contact Improvisation (CI), in which I combine elements of contemporary and modern dance. When I dance, I don’t overthink what it looks like – when I dance, I am myself, I am present, I am body, I am movement – I simply AM. And that is exactly what I invite you to during SERDUSZA.
I experience firsthand that dance is an essential part of my life – both in day-to-day living and as a support in the therapy I underwent myself. Dance helps you ground yourself in your body and get to know yourself better. It teaches breathing, setting boundaries, and the freedom of being. It is also a wonderful tool for building connections with others.
Grounded in this experience and my own observations, I decided to broaden my path and enrolled in the postgraduate program “Dance in Therapy and Development” at SWPS University in Kraków. During this year’s edition of SERDUSZA, I will invite you to discover various techniques and methods that I am learning along my educational journey.
