Magda Jędra

Magda Jędra-dancer, choreographer, performer. For several years, she’s been deepening her knowledge of nature, seeking channels of communication between the human body and the plant world. In 2019, she began working on the concept of the “botanical body,” and in December 2019, as part of Global Practice Sharing, she presented the results of her research at Judson Church in New York. She continues to develop the practice of the botanical body in her recent works: “Evil herbs”, “Forest and people”

Magda Jedra

The performance Evil herbs results from an attempt to develop a sensitive practice of
being with rejected plants, getting to know their needs, and experiencing their causative
power. Weeds grow as they please. They take root where they’re not wanted, they’re
always out of place. At the same time, they become models for urban survival and
resistance strategies. Drawing strength from rejection, they spread across the face of the
Earth and the authority. Just like the bodies.
