Premiere
„Aumakua”
Premiere 25.06.2011, Gdański Festiwal Tańca - Klub Żak, Gdańsk
Anna Haracz: „Aumakua“ ... because it is like this, the cause of the sound is movement. If the movement is geometrically designed, the musical gestures being created present a mathematical regularity. It was called harmony by the Pythagoreans. It was for them the ratio of the number and was created by a number.

Dance Cinema BETWEEN
Dance Film Music
The film is the image of the meeting of modern man with nature. Man living in the city, with nature, which he belonged to, the other day. Heaven was the roof of our house. Trees were the walls and the ground was the floor. Once, nature was our home! It was our nature.
So what is left? Nowadays nature still gives us the food. To smart people - warm shelter. But still threatens us. Our life is no longer included in the cycle of lunar phases. We created our own galaxy. Again describing the time based on our needs. Plus minus one hour, during periods of spring and autumn solstice. And when you forget about the 'wars and the like' , probably there would be a lot of advantages, even though it is rather a natural disaster, isn't it?and a little puzzling is, why regardless of the honors you play, it is so good to sit in a forest and breathe...Sentiment? So much is left? Nature will be the nature. Some more time. And somewhere there that it cannot come in the way of human interest. What about the nature? What is our nature?
"Between" - based on Polish Dictionary, is a preposition that indicates, that what is in question, from both sides is surrounded by something. Dance Cinema "Between" based on the Description of Idea, gives information, that a man is always in some context. He is surrounded by something. And here the word "something" in the literal meaning can be understood as the external world. Beautiful and useful material (often with a wonderfully full-strength "pe fał ce"), but also the internal world. Thoughts, emotions, feelings, fears (all beautiful too, but often, it might seem, a little less useful). It is in between.

The Association KOKO PELI
With the support of The Pomerania Marshal's Office.
We have started...
We have started working on new creation titled AUMAKUA. There will be some breaths and mathematics. The effects you will see very soon in June during Gdansk Dance Festival/premiere 25.06.2011
The Association KOKO PELI
KOKO PELI is a character from Mexican mythology, who inadvertently fell to Earth. Playing the flute he healed the stagnant world with his music.
Inspired by this character we founded the Association, which idea is to create and promote artistic events, crafts and healthy actions. The main goal of these events is to improve the reality, in which we live. In the future, our activities will be moved to the countryside to the natural environment. And all this to create, teach and work with and for people, for whom the art is a necessary spiritual nourishment.
Our first project was a film production, in the field of cinema dance titled "Between" made in Kashubian forests. The film was produced in collaboration between Variatino Cinema Theatre and Emilia Orzechowska (film maker and curator of art). The project was financially supported by The Pomerania Marshal's Office.
Workshop
Working directly with people is a challenge for us that brings great satisfaction. By conducting workshops and projects we share our exploration, knowledge, experience and doubts.
