Olsztyn Dance Theater was created because of the need to develop the dance art environment in Poland’s Warmian-Masurian region. It is based on the artistic activities of Pryzmat Dance Company, which has been functioning as a creative group in the ARToffNIA Art and Dance Foundation since the year 2007. Currently, OTT cooperates with the Centre for Education and Cultural Initiatives in Olsztyn, and its activities are financed by the Local Government of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

Performance synopsis
Created as part of the international competition ‘Of Death and Dying’, for which an award was presented to Katarzyna Grabińska with the dance company. The prize was an artistic residence at Tenuta Dello Scompiglio in Vorno, Italy in 2018. The residency program included further choreographic work on the performance ‘OVER GROUND’ (which has been awarded many times at festivals). This served as the starting point for the creation of a new project related to the topic of death and dying.
