My name is Marcin Motyl. I am working as an independent dancer, choreographer and visual artist, based in Berlin. For more than 10 years, I have been working in a cultural context; including dance, performance, theatre and film industry. I had the opportunity to collaborate with directors, choreographers, musicians, filmmakers and designers. After graduating from the Warsaw Ballet School, I was presented with opportunities to work with Ohad Naharin, Veronika Riz, Jo Strømgren, Mariusz Trelinski, Karolina Wyrwal, Paul Tinsley, Tamara Gvozdenovic and many others. Continually I am working to build on and expand my professional experience by participating in numerous international projects and workshops organised and delivered by such authors and teachers as Franck Chartier, Gabriela Carrizo, Yuval Pick, Sjoerd Vreugdenhil, Yoshifumi Inao, Henrik Kaalund, Yi-Chun Liu and Stian Danielsen. In 2022, I graduated from the University of the Arts - Department of Intermedia, I studied art history, art film - new media, artistic production, performative and film activities. Throughout college, I have been developing my individual artistic practice and an authorial method of creative work. My projects give unlimited possibility and freedom in interpretation, live on the edge between realism and surrealism, focusing on concept and visual style. To date, my works: SIATA, DAY ZERO, NEW VERSION and SOLO TEN have been shown and awarded in Japan, Germany, France, Poland, China and Brazil.

DAY ZERO
SOLO DANCE PERFORMANCE
DAY ZERO explores the theme of human relations with nature, moving beyond the perspective of the individual, as it were. The multiplicity of references to evolution, dualism of environments capable of breeding life, metaphors associated with the human psyche and specific problems afflicting the contemporary world offer well-nigh limitless space of moving in a world non-literal, understated and non-obvious in equal measure.
