Birthday Workshops Kiwaki / Monika Kiwak / FESTIVAL OF THE YOUNGEST 2026
Imperial Castle in Poznań, Poland
Movement workshops for families with children aged 3–5, led by Monika Kiwak. Participants will discover the possibilities of their bodies and relationships with other people and the surrounding space, using elements of the "Island" installation as part of shared play – as shelter, gift, scenography, or dance partner. The programme combines improvisation, play, and the creation of personal birthday rituals. Comfortable clothing is recommended – activities take place barefoot.
Monika Kiwak is a performer, choreographer, and movement educator. Since 2016, she has led workshops for families, combining scenic improvisation, contemporary dance, and the Body-Mind Centering method. She has danced in "Baby Space" by Dalija Acin Thelander and in productions by Alicja Morawska-Rubczak: "LABirynt", "Kuuki", "Łaskotki". She creates and directs performances for children and adults.
