Gosia’s Creative Process

Gosia uses a variety of artistic approaches to stimulate the creative process for herself and the artists she collaborates with.

Her work is solely based on experimental approach of expressing her vision of the world. She looks at the human body as a finely tuned instrument, capable of creating the unimaginable beauty.

She collaborates with the dancers, allowing them to elevate their skills, inviting them to dare to step into the unknown, to evolve and to feel included, seen, respected and challenged.

Her interests revolve around creating an alternative reality on stage, a universe that gives a chance to exhale deeper, to find some distance from the reality we create for ourselves on a daily basis. She’s inspired by the effect that primal emotions have on us, how they impact people’s life decisions, imprison people, and stop them from reaching their fullest potential.

Also, she picks up abstract ideas and turns them into something tangible and real. She inspires her dancers to express themselves in a total way, to be courageous, fearless, free and open minded.
