Iza Szostak is a choreographer, dancer and performance artist. In her artistic practice she uses the premises of new materialism, which allows her to perceive matter as an active and causative force, and to base her choreographic work on a created system of communication between the body and the object. As building material, she uses processed images from the field of visual arts and film, anthropological research, private video archives and her own biography. In her performances she explores hybrid forms. The body appears as a costume and a medium: a carrier of emotional states. Choreography is to her an instrument for creating a new order. Iza is a graduate of the Warsaw Ballet School and Codarts-Rotterdam Dance Academy (the Netherlands). She has received scholarships from the Polish Ministry of Culture, the Dutch Corrie Hartong Fonds, Visegrad Fund and the international SPAZIO project, as well as the Alternative Dance Academy and Solo Project scholarships from Art Stations Foundation by Grażyna Kulczyk.The performances Iza has created include: RE//MIX-Merce Cunningham; Body. Child. Object; Europe. Investigation; Copairic Ballet; National Affairs; PRIV; le journal secret; and Skaj Is the Limit. Iza has worked closely for many years with audiovisual artist Kuba Słomkowski. She also co-creates the Warsaw choreographic collective Centrum w Ruchu and collaborates with Dream Adoption Society, a laboratory working with new technologies (VR, AR and AI).
