Polish actress, arrived to France 15 years ago. Artist from the aesthetic of the Grotowski theater, pantomime and theater research.
Previously photographer and film-maker, I've decided to dedicate myself to theater and cinema.
I'm looking for projects both in cinema and in theater, above all with an international team. I love languages. i speak polish, french, english and spanish ( intermediate level now but I'm improving:)). You can see my current and futur projects in Actus.
Work with humain experiences, deep encounter, intercultural theater and mythical thinking are in the center of my research. Body and voice used in various ways are in the center of my aesthetic. In my artistic processus, I try without stopping to lose myself and to overtake my own limits. I'm looking for how breathing together and to discover a process that leads to free the natural flow of energy in order to reach an organic unity of body and voice.
After, I discovered the subtlety of acting for the camera that is able to catch every little movement of soul. I'm interested in the organic method that works for opening actors and makes its instrument more fluid. Otherwise, cinema shows the biggest emotion of live. Since I've acted in short, medium film and one full length film "Red mustang". I've had also small role in some series.
In 2011, I met the theatre DUANAMA company ( that means a sacred land), which focuses its work on cultural diversity, interculturality, non-violent and horizontal relations between people and connection with the deepness (this holy place in everyone where humanity and life appear). Since october 2014 I've been its artistic manager.
These questionings put us to organise the international youth exchange in 2013 " Where do I finish and does another one begin? ". This year we are creating the show " The Body of a Woman as a Battlefield in the Bosnian War" by Visniec and " Who is it ?" in write , based on the project " Where do I finish and does another one begin? " and divers testimonies. This show we created in 2019.
In 2021, I will take part of the artistic residence about gender matters with participants from France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
See you soon with pleasure, friendly
Monika Smiechowska
