Wojciech Grudzinsky

Visegrad Artist Residency—Performing Arts program

Wojciech Grudziński (1991) is a Polish artist, choreographer, and dancer based in Amsterdam. His work investigates topics such as the power dynamics that exist (both implicitly and explicitly) within theatre and dance. Wojciech graduated from the Warsaw State Ballet School and CODARTS in Rotterdam, and he obtained his master’s degree from DAS Theatre in Amsterdam (2021-2023). Explorations of inclusivity, queerness, and the embracing of diversity lie at the heart of Wojciech Grudziński’s work. He works without boundaries, shame, or coyness, based on a created freedom of choreography and performance. His work is an ode to the heritage of dance and choreography, in which Wojciech strives to create an inviting space for play and to celebrate a range of different perspectives on how we see our bodies. In his graduation research at DAS Theatre, Wojciech examined the ambiguity of the ‘bowing gesture’. This was brought together in his graduation production, BOW A STUDY. This performance premiered in February 2024, in co-production with Frascati Theatre. In 2024, Wojciech received support from the Centre National de la Danse x Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris to carry out research on the legacy of three Polish dancers from the communist era.
