ARTISTIC POLICY
To create challenging, thought provoking and visually engaging work inspired by concepts relating to time, space and the human condition that can be appreciated by a wide range of viewers.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Krzystek’s movements were performed with such precision, such incredible balance, they couldn’t fail to captivate.' The Scotsman (Test–The Wait)

'This was something special. What was distinct about the performance was that it was not timeless but time-full, and it hinted at temporal endlessness.' Live Art Magazine (Test - The Wait)

CURRENT PRODUCTION
Still The second in a series of solo pieces that follow on from Test. Again we encounter the lone figure essentially waiting in a room. As Test presents an ongoing prelude to something that may or may not happen, Still visits the next phase of anticipation. Still exists on a fine line between performance and installation. It explores the openness of an installation whilst still utilising structural tensions and the clearly defined frontal perspective found in theatre and film. Finding moments during which the performer is able to fall in and out of focus giving space and time for the spectator’s eye to freely engage with other collaborative aspects of the work. Original sound score by Tom Murray and film installation by Lucy Cash. (45 mins approx.)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Finalis The final in The Wait series. Finalis will be developed throughout 2007. The piece will look at slowly eliminating the live performer through a process of distillation with traces remaining in the sound score and filmed images. Collaborators Tom Murray and Lucy Cash.

WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY
Classes in contemporary dance technique and dance composition. The aim is to share relevant valuable information that can be used to support on going artistic practice.
