ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Karol Tyminski is a choreographer and a performer based in Berlin. He co-founded the Centrum w Ruchu [Centre In Motion] collective. He is a graduate of the Warsaw Ballet Academy and the Performing Arts Research and Training Studios (P.A.R.T.S.) in Belgium and DAS Graduate School in Amsterdam. Tymiński focuses on creating motion which explores the structure of the human body. The latter is presented rather as some physical matter and not so much a fully developed individual. It thus becomes a plateau for questioning the established cultural human image. In his brutalist dance Tymiński oscillates between physical labour and ritual, thoroughly penetrating the performer’s physicality, and at the same time: reaching his emotional dimension. Tymiński’s works have been presented at numerous international stages, such as: American Realness (NYC), Esplenade Theatre (Singapore), Reykjavik Dance Festival, Impuls Tanz (Vienna),La Maison de la culture d’Amiens (France), Sophiensaele (Berlin), and many more.
