"How We Meet?" A Collective Choreographic Action

We invite you to join or to witness a collective choreographic action, the result of a workshop process with a group of participants from the local community, led by choreographer and dancer Adi Weinberg.

Through movement, the group creates a safe space to connect with one another; a space to address the question of "How we meet?," how we expand the ability to listen, to become more attuned to ourselves, our surroundings, and one another? How can we build a collective body of care — increase our capacity to be here and now, move and be moved by one another, nurture our shared future?

Following simple choreographic structures, participants explore different ways in which we can meet; they offer a shared experience as a response to today’s divided world, marked by aggression and violence. They give an expression to what could perhaps be an alternative move to polarization.

"How We Meet?" is part of a series of anti-war, anti-violence events accompanying the closing of "1945. Not the End, Not the Beginning" exhibition. The action enters into a dialogue with the space around POLIN Museum, reshaping and transforming it.

Note: Due to unfavorable weather forecasts, the action will take place entirely inside the Museum building.

The performance also references fragments of the movement material from "Undercurrents", a site-specific dance piece created by Adi Weinberg for POLIN Museum.
