Spaces of Art – Dance at Teatr KTO

With great joy and gratitude, we have accepted the role of operator of the Spaces of Art – Dance programme. We would like to thank the National Institute of Music and Dance for placing their trust in us. For us, this is not only an honour, but above all a responsibility.

Dance and movement have always been an important part of our artistic identity. We are interested in the body as a tool for storytelling, emotion, and encounter with the audience. That is why we are truly pleased to open, at Teatr KTO, a space that will provide genuine support for independent dance artists—creators who are exploratory, courageous, and committed to developing their own artistic language.

For years, we have consistently worked towards the development of this field, most recently by launching a new festival on the theatrical map: the Body and Time Festival.

We have always been open to the world of physical theatre artists and new forms of expression. Now, we are able to give these activities an even broader scope.

We believe that Spaces of Art – Dance at our theatre will become a place of dialogue, experimentation, and encounter: between artists and audiences, ideas and practice, movement and thought.

We invite you to co-create this space with us.

Jerzy Zoń
Director of Teatr KTO
