ABOUT ME

I have been shaped by the diverse artistic environments. I was strongly influenced by my parents and grandmother, who are the conservators and restorers of art objects. Thanks to them I could develop various artistic skills when I was a child. I attended the primary music school - for six years in the class of piano and of guitar for two years. It is also there when I started singing.

My previous and present works might be seen on-line at:

I gained additional experience drawing and selling portraits on the streets of many cities. Several times, I assisted my dad, Andrzej Lewandowski, who leads the Art Renovation Studio (ARTE). I was also volunteering with The Service Civil International in Blamont and Naples. My interests began to focus on performance, using myself as an instrument.
I obtained a bachelor's degree in the Lithography Studio led by Professor Stefan Ficner in June 2014 (at the Visual Communication Department of the University of Arts in Poznań).

I have participated in three courses of Acting Techniques Intensive Seminar led by Prof. Grzegorz Ziółkowski. The documentation could be seen at: grzeg-atis.home.amu.edu.pl/?page_id=1225.

I completed the Academy of Theatre Practices "Gardzienice". Our diploma work directed by Włodzimierz Staniewski was 'Wesele' inspired by Stanisław Wyspiański's text. Performing with The Pijana Sypialnia Theatre in Warsaw was a great training, too. Many years of participation in dance workshops, such as those organised by The Polish Dance Theatre, co-creation of amateur group The Dance Theatre 'KoInspiracja' in high school and practicing tango finally directed my way to The Dance Theatre Department in Bytom (The Ludwik Solski Academy of Theatre Arts). When I got to the school, my next dream came true. I love to dance. Learning the Polish Dance Technique is a creative impulse for me. At the same time, I began to understand that all my previous experiences have shaped me as a unique person.

PHILOSOPHY

Some chance rules the world and everything is meant to be for some purpose.

About books... after the "Lord of the Rings" of Tolkien, the book of my childhood, maybe "Jeżycjada" by Musierowicz.
