#DANCE #PERFORMANCE
Zawirowania
“Spinning” or “Whirling” would be a translation of Polish “Zawirowania” which is the most important festival for the contemporary dance in Poland. This edition’s highlight is a show from Israel, performed by the famous Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company but what we suggest is to see some of the Polish artists. Dance, in general, in Poland is still a niche, sometimes not treated seriously, perceived as sport or something which is nice&easy. On the other hand, there are a lot of supertalented people with creative energy and original vision, so its worth to see how POlish performes differ from their collegues from other countries.

#ART & SIGHTSEEING
Castle for contemporary art
Why not head inside a baroque building to see quality art for free? One of Warsaw’s best known public art galleries is located inside a castle perched on the city’s picturesque escarpment of Vistula river’s former riverbank. Head there for quality contemporary art (the current exhibit “Photon” will introduce you young self-trained Polish artist Norman Leto; there is also one about contemporary Romanian art. and a retrospective of another Polish artist, Grzegorz Drozd). If quality art makes you hungry, grab some quality food at Quchnia Artystyczna (Artistic Quisine) restaurant overlooking the escarpment! Do not miss gas lanterns lining the Agrykola street right next to the Castle!
