Bodies and Images in Motion!
Movement activity in an immersive room
for children aged 8-12
September 1, 2024 (Sunday)
12:00 AM
Krupa Art Foundation
Rynek 27-28, Wrocław
free admission, registration required
led by: Paulina Galanciak-Ilczyszyn
curatorial concept: Magdalena Kreis
On the last day of summer vacation, we invite families with children aged 8-12 to play in a space filled with art. Yoga instructor Paulina Galanciak-Ilczyszyn will lead movement activities. We will explore various ways of moving by performing exercises and choreographed sequences.
In August, during a creative session, children collaborated with KinoManual to create an animation inspired by a painting by Edward Krasiński. The blue line from his painting—part of the Sylwia and Piotr Krupa collection—was set into motion using animation techniques! The result will be showcased in the immersive room, a multi-screen space at the Krupa Art Foundation that allows visitors to literally immerse themselves in art, deepening the experience.
During the September meeting in this art-filled space created by children, we invite you to join us for a movement activity. In addition to animating the blue line, we’ll also set our bodies in motion! We’ll experiment with shapes, space, and sounds. We’ll use a variety of materials: gymnastics tapes and bags, fabric sheets, and aerial silks. We’ll work in pairs, individually, and as a group. Together, we will test different ways of moving by performing exercises and choreographed sequences.

Professionally, she helps people connect with their bodies through movement, massage, and breathwork, combining all these aspects in the space she calls “Wytchnienie” (Respite). She has explored Latin dances, pole dancing, CrossFit, kettlebells, kickboxing, yoga, and calisthenics. Always a fan of experimentation, she enjoys testing the body’s various possibilities. Currently, she draws the most from somatics, yoga, animalistic and intuitive movement. Her son is a beautiful source of inspiration for her movement practice.

She has completed the Dance Therapy and Movement Analysis Techniques Course and holds a Lomi Lomi massage certification (Bodywork Aga Rybak). She is also studying at the Living Somatics Teacher Training School and has undergone numerous Nonviolent Communication (NVC) workshops.
