Holobiont collective was established in 2017. It is created by two artists: choreographer and performer Aleksandra Bożek-Muszyńska and theatre scientists and choreographer Hanna Bylka-Kanecka, and creative producer Karolina Wycisk. Their field of creative interests are interdisciplinary multi-generational projects. Combining experimental dance, visual arts and music, the artists create interactive performances and offer workshops for families with children. The work of the collective is based on the assumption that every participant of the performance – regardless of age and experience – is a fully competent performing arts recipient. Focusing on the diversity of the creative engagement of their audiences, the artists observe and explore the possibilities of deepening long-term relationships through art.
