ZUZANNA SOSNOWSKA

About

I am a theatre maker, performer, and artist-researcher, based in Antwerp.

I hold an MA degree in performance practices from Artez University of Arts in Arnhem, the Netherlands (2022) and a BA in the art of media from the Art Academy in Szczecin (2020).

In my artistic practice, I combine methods at the intersections of contemporary theatre, performance art, relational art, happenings, and deep listening. In my research-oriented practice, I work with concepts such as a body as a safe space, perception, and subjectivity from a phenomenological approach.

My projects are often autobiographical and focus on affectivity and lived experience.

The methods I operate within my practice are persona, storytelling, and case study, which I use to transform personal experience into live performance.

In 2023 I received Talentontwikkeling support from the city of Antwerp for the project Alphabet of feelings, a participatory project exploring the concept of a 'body as a safe space' and questioning wellbeing from the perspective of a highly sensitive person.
