Agata Maszkiewicz

Agata Maszkiewicz is a choreographer and performer. In October 2009 she graduated Institute of Dance Arts at the Anton Bruckner Privatuniversitaet in Linz, Austria (Master of Arts M.A.). She is a recipient of the danceWEB scholarship in 2006. From January till June 2007 she continued her education in the Centre Choreoghraphique National (CCN) in Montpellier as a participant of the ex.e.r.ce program (under the guidance of Xavier Le Roy). Next to her own work, she collaborates with the collective Superamas, Ivana Müller, Alix Eynaudi, Anne Juren and recently with theatre director Weronika Szczawińska.

In her own work (Don Kiewicz i Sanczo Waniec, Polska, Snowflakes, From A to P) she uses different forms creating dance/theatre performances, videos, installations and texts where choreography is used as the main dramaturgical tool.

She likes tracing various social patterns and transforming them on stage in a humorous as well as poetic way. The Austrian critic Helmut Ploebst called her a “sociocritical choreographer”. She works and lives generally in Europe.
