Wojciech Grudziński, Maria Magdalena Kozłowska: TEACH ME NOT!

TEACH ME NOT! is a choreographic role-play of trust and dependence, admiration and rancor. It is an ode to students' longing for the bittersweet memories of their masters. In their performance Wojciech Grudziński and Maria Magdalena Kozłowska together with a group of collaborators open up a risky dialogue, taking advantage of the fact that the teacher is not present. Now, what? Are you a student in need of a good lesson, or are you a teacher in search of a willing student? Will you obey this binary choice, or are you ready to refuse, non-conform, and deny it? This is where the game begins. Note: TEACH ME NOT! is an edgy game. Students of course have a right to disagree anytime but then have to leave the party. Wojciech Grudziński (1991) is a Polish artist, choreographer and dancer based in Amsterdam. His work investigates topics such as the power dynamics that exist (both implicitly and explicitly) within theatre and dance. Maria Magdalena Kozlowska is a singer, writer and theatre maker born in Zielona Góra, Poland. Her performances and videos portrait singing women and sonic utopias.
