Festival Opening - Warsaw Meets The World - International Welcome Showcase

FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER

Warsaw Meets the World

18:30–18:55

Kinga Malewska & ensemble

This does not necessarily need its own ticket event if it is only included in the Friday/Weekend Pass.

Description

Impact Fest begins with an original ensemble performance created for the festival. Theatre, movement, music and international voices come together in a celebration of Warsaw as a city where people, cultures and artistic languages meet.

Spark and Connections

18:55–19:10

Ola Chodasz

Also fine as part of the Friday Pass rather than a separately sold ticket.

Description

Right after the opening performance, Ola Chodasz brings the room together. Meet & Spark is a warm, playful session designed to break the ice, help people connect and turn a room of strangers into a festival community. For over 20 years she is facilitating networking and collaboration workshops across corporate, education, culture and public sectors. She combines her specialization in Applied DRAMA with knowledge about a nervous system, group processes, communication and cooperation. She is a fun of playfulness and Playback Theatre.

International Welcome Showcase

19:10–20:00

Artists:

Christian Winther

Masha Nikitina

Jerry the Psycho

Description

Three international performers open the festival with three very different perspectives.

Christian Winther presents Confrontation, Masha Nikitina brings Mountain Guilt, and Jerry the Psycho joins them with stand-up comedy.

Rather than one style repeated three times, the Welcome Showcase gives audiences an immediate taste of the range of Impact Fest: performance, character, storytelling and comedy from artists arriving in Warsaw from different backgrounds.

FRIDAY BONUS: Stay after the shows for the Impact Fest Opening Night After Party with DJ MiRa , from 22:35.

Language: English

Genre: International showcase / comedy / performance
