Good Girl Killer

Zespół powstał na początku 2005 roku z inicjatywy młodych kreatywnych artystów. Ich pierwszy projekt: taneczno, muzyczno, wizualny performance Good Girl Killer, miał swoją premierę w 6 marca 2005 roku. Stylistykę teatru cechuje eklektyzm form i materii, w której taniec łączy się z muzyką i projekcją video. Artyści podejmują świadome działania mające na celu zatarcie granic między sztukami. Wynikiem ich poszukiwań są pełne ekspresji kolaże artystyczne o wysokim stopniu profesjonalizmu. Tworzą tym samym nową jakość artystyczną, opierającą się na współistnieniu sztuk. Artyści prezentują dzisiejszy świat jako labirynt, naznaczony nadmiarem komunikacji, pośpiechu, ujednolicenia społeczeństwa i zatraty indywidualności człowieka. Wewnątrz tego świata zauważają istnienie pojedynczego człowieka, uwikłanego w tragiczną walkę z miażdżącą rzeczywistością, w walkę o zachowanie własnej tożsamości.

Teatr Dada von Bzdülöw

Teatr powstał w 1993 roku. Założycielami grupy są Leszek Bzdyl i Katarzyna Chmielewska. Stanowią oni trzon zespołu, który składa się z niezależnych artystów-tancerzy, spotykających się w różnych konfiguracjach przy konkretnym projekcie artystycznym. Tancerze i choreografowie związani z Teatrem Dada w ostatnich latach to między innymi : Anna Steller, Filip Szatarski, Julia Mach, Ula Zerek (Wróbel) Rafał Dziemidok, Patrycja Kujawska, Aurora Lubos, Magdalena Reiter oraz Bethany Formika (współpraca przy realizacji najnowszego spektaklu Faktor T). Przedstawienia Dada von Bzdülöw wynikają z tradycji teatralnej, lecz podstawowym językiem przekazu jest ruch, łączący w sobie elementy baletu klasycznego, pantomimy oraz różnych formy tańca współczesnego. Na przestrzeni czternastu lat działalności grupa stworzyła ponad trzydzieści spektakli, z powodzeniem prezentowanych zarówno na polskich jak i światowych scenach. Widoczna jest ewolucja artystyczna grupy, która początkowo tworzyła spektakle mające ścisłe konotacje z literaturą, poprzez przedstawienia lawirujące miedzy historią czerpaną z dzieła literackiego a emocją , aż do momentu zupełnej autonomii od dzieł sztuki, pozostających jedynie bodźcem dla kreacji scenicznych.
