“SHELL SHOCK O’K”
is a movement and affect research that explores the state of shell shock and post-traumatic disorder that manifests in the body due to war and violent events that cause real threat and danger to life. The work shows how dangerous and destructive violence and war events can affect the human body and mind, and draws attention to the complexity of post-traumatic disorders that are often hard to recognize.
“Shell Shock O’K” is inspired by the recent war in Ukraine and has in-depth research with real witnesses who have a strong connection to the source of the problem. As part of this research, workshops were conducted with refugees from Ukraine who are currently receiving asylum in Germany and have experienced and been affected by extreme levels of violence due to war events.
“Shell Shock O’K” was supported by German Federal Funding Program Joint Adventurous NPN Stepping OUT, Dachverband Tanz Tanz:Digital, Neustart Kultur, BKM and Schwankhalle Bremen.
Choreography: Dmytro Grynov
Performance: Alessandro Ottaviani, Beatriz Coelho, Cecilia Bartolino, Octavia Barvulsky.

“(Dis)connect”
is a solo work that represents the movement research on the theme of broken heart trauma. It focuses on the character’s internal struggle as he tries to find answers to the core question, “What was wrong?” through memories and reproduction of past events. Solo represents the main hero’s journey and his struggle on the way to accepting the situation. How does he deal with the harmful experiences in the present? Will he make it to a happy ending or is he doomed to be overcome by emotions that will destroy his personality?
“(Dis)connect” was created as a dance experiment through a digital chain of communication across spatial distances and stylistic differences, proposed by Miriam Taschler and Carla Petzolt. Later it grew into an independent solo work that was successfully presented at various festivals in Germany and Spain. Currently “(Dis)connect” continues to be presented at various festivals and dance platforms throughout Europe.

“I go Iŋdeepe/andence”
is a duet piece that raises the question of independence on a personal and global level and its impact on people. Starting from relevant political events in the cultural and social life of Poland and Ukraine, we examine phenomena of independence in these countries and how this issue affects local citizens. How much are people willing to pay for the independence of their country, for independence in decision-making and personal freedom? This performance represents a way to find harmony in boundaries and trust not only in yourself, but also in the closest people and local socio-cultural environment.
“I goIŋdeepe/andence” was supported by Gdansk Dance Festival (Club Zak) & Scena Tanca Studio in the frame of the festival “Make love not war”.
Choreography & Performance: Dmytro Grynov, Daniela Komedera.

“AMALLORILLO”
Amallorillo – it`s playful anagram from four Spanish words – amar, llorar, alma and malo – which means to love, to cry, the soul and bad.
In this solo work I’m exploring how to overcome all obstacles, upside-downs and cruelties of selfishness, greediness and jealousy. I’m questioning the organic development of relationships between two people and the sustainability of it with the passing of time. I’m curious where lies the point when something starts to go wrong, when the love goes away, when magic disappears. How to distinguish the point of no return and predict it beforehand?
How do not neglect yourself while being dependently connected, how to sacrifice but not to lose yourself? The work represents a solitude journey on the way to liberation yourself from thousands of regrets for mistakes that have been made and decisions that have failed.
“Amallorillo” was started as a research in Ukraine and later found its logical continuation in the residencies in Europe. The solo was presented at the festivals Adonata and Zelyonka Fest (Kharkiv/Kyiv, Ukraine) and supported by the Summer Residency P.A.R.T.S (Brussels, Belgium) and Tanztendenz München (Munich, Germany).
Choreography and Performance: Dmytro Grynov.
