Alica Minar and Dorota Michalak began collaborating in 2022 after meeting at HZT Berlin in 2019. Their work includes co-creating choreography in the LUSH BLAST series and researching for WOODS WON’T VAPORIZE. Their creative process, rooted in fieldwork and exchanges with scientists, brings together two distinct artistic practices. Michalak's approach is anchored in somatics, fascination with plants and folk music heritage. She shifts attention towards tactile, aural and energetic aspects of dance. Minar's work offers strong visuality, where humor and poetry arise from bizarre situations. While exploring burning societal issues, she researches how nudity and costumes distort the reality of the dancing body and its relationship with objects.
