ARTISTIC POLICY
To create challenging, thought provoking and visually engaging work inspired by concepts relating to time, space and the human condition that can be appreciated by a wide range of viewers.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘One could go on for a long time about the genius and wonderful execution of Anna Krzystek’s dance performance – she was absolutely superb!’ Robert Beaton, New Territories website ()

‘Figure This asserted not only Krzystek's mental and physical stamina, but her capacity for the kind of intellectual processes that few choreographers are equipped to explore.’ The Herald

‘Still certainly side-stepped the mainstream with persuasive conviction, producing work that rewarded necessary concentration by sending our thoughts and imaginings into energising freefall.’ The Herald

CURRENT PRODUCTION
The third solo piece in a series of work based on the premise of waiting. The figure moves through a series of choreographic acts that sees her pushed to extremes. These acts are compulsive and enduring, they commence and end without warning, leaving the figure suspended in periods of ‘not doing’. It is precisely in these gaps of ‘not doing’ that the figure is revealed and a sense of closeness can be felt. Concept and performance by Anna Krzystek. Original sound score by Tom Murray and visuals by Daniela Di Paulis, Tim Nunn and Anna Krzystek. (45 mins with no interval, 2 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
A new piece currently in development.

WRAP-AROUND
Workshops include classes in contemporary dance technique, choreography/movement composition and discussions/talks about the work and working process. The aim of the workshops is to share relevant information that can be used to enhance and support artistic practice.
