The 12th edition of the festival was once again organized in an atmosphere of awakened sensitivity and readiness, which was a consequence of uncertainty and constant changes. The team was joined by Natalia Oniśk and Paweł Świerczek, who supported the festival in the substantive, coordination and PR fields.

Despite the extraordinary time and in response to the need to find new communication channels, we have made every effort to create the possibility of dancing regardless of the difficulties caused by the global pandemic. Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture, National Heritage and Sport, the festival program has been significantly expanded and refined. Despite the extraordinary time and in response to the need to find new channels of communication, we tried to create the possibility of dancing regardless of the difficulties caused by the global pandemic. We wanted to enable the continuity of creative research and deepening the practice of CI. By listening to our intuition, increasing self-awareness and deepening our perception, we attepted to support transformation at the individual and group level.
