Hi, I`m Maciek but you can call me Magic. I live in Poland and I`m an actor of Wroclaw Contemporary Theatre. I have been working with people for more than a few years. The profession of an actor requires searching in many fields. It gives you the opportunity to experience different sensibilities, to sense human behavior and teaches how to deal with them. Being open, being conscious, being flexible and creative is the basis for functioning on the field of art projects. By working in the theater and organizing the intergenerational workshops, I learned how to listen and understand to people, how to watch them carefully, how to be patient and how to be forgiving. During those few years I managed to change my self-conscious attitude from an embarrassed, withdrawn boyfriend, into a confident, empathetic and positively oriented man to people and the world. I like to share my experience with others making together interdisciplinary creative activities.
Practice: Theater, interdiscyplinary creative activities
Areas of interest: art/theater/film/non-formal education
Why are you a part of Magic Carpets: I was invited to the project by the The Wroclaw Institute of Culture and it seemed interesting to me to enter a completely new space of people and topics and common creative activities.
Magic Carpets project
Cards and People is a socio-artistic residency project at the intersection of the art of film documentaries and the art of card games. Two young artists enter the magical world of cards thanks to a group of bridge enthusiasts who meet regularly at the Pod Kolumnami Club in Wrocław’s Nadodrze district. It is from this place that everyone sets out together on a performative journey on the border of forms, narratives and conventions. On this journey through places, people and history, you don’t have to follow any rules! With one exception. Follow the bridge rules!
Past projects
Type: filmtheater (intergenerational group)
Nothing is happening here and now. Everything happens there, in our head, constantly, constantly, thoughts come to us that we don’t normally express. Am I normal? In a world full of stimuli and nervousness, we are all in the same boat. Where? For work? For shopping? The film “Social Square” is a group introspective screening. A journey inside each of us. An insight into the collective image of thoughts, fears, joys, sorrows and emotions captured in a unique place and created according to texts written by participants of the Theater on a Triangle project.
Type: film, storytelling, game (youngsters group in the middle of pandemic)
What caused the series of mysterious flashes?
Who is MAX? What’s happening to him? Can he be trusted? Will the game participants overcome RAHI’s strength? Will there be delamination? What actually happened in the Black Water Zone? Experience it with us again!
Participants of the field game take part in a kind of on-site visit. The recording of these events allowed us to create a unique film in the style of a documentary thriller!
THEATER ON A TRIANGLE: A MAN IN A FREE TIME
Type: social theater
A group of almost twenty people of different ages face their own shame and boundaries during the creative process leading to the creation and presentation of a theater performance entitled A Man In A Free Time. Together, the participants overcome all adversities presented by the Great Stage Manager’s ideas! We manage to create a show in just 24 hours!
