In 2016 until 2018 Ola Maciejewska is associated artist of Centre chorégraphique national de Caen en Normandie. In the fall 2017, Maciejewska’s solo work Loie Fuller: Research and COSMOPOL (dance film) was presented in the frame of La Biennale de Lyon. Her new work DANCE CONCERT has its world premiere at National Taichung Theatre in Taiwan and in the fall of 2018 it will be presented at Centre Pompidou in the frame of Festival d’Automne in France.
Appropriating the ‘serpentine dance’ of Loie Fuller, Ola Manciejewska plays with the hybridity of the body in movement. The choreography forms a fluid image, timeless, complex, and intensely visual.
