Performance synopsis

‘Happenings’, by Pracownia Fizyczna and the band SzaZa, is filled with dancing on the edge of risk. The score of the events was inspired by process work and contact improvisation. It is based on working with sensual channels and changes of reference points such as movement, voice, partner. The nature of the performance, which has received consistently vivacious responses from audiences for over a decade, reflects the term ‘playfulness’ as introduced by theatre anthropologist Victor W. Turner.
