New Rules on our terms!
We believe in sisterhood as a philosophy and a way of working!
What matters most to us is solidarity, community and mutual support.
We won’t give up!
We are flexible and refuse to be limited by established orders, unfazed by constant changeability and “suspension”.
Let’s change the rules!
Let’s invent new systems of functioning, creating and living.
Let’s meet and be together, taking part in shared workshops and events. Let’s inspire each other.
TOGETHER WE CREATE NEW RULES!

New Rules is the key theme of this year’s edition. We want to work on collectiveness, sisterhood, changes in thinking and developing art in the fields of dance, architecture and theatre. We will work using our imaginations – because this is where new rules begin.
An essential part of our academies is the city. This time let us look at Warsaw as a place where
collectives are at work – hence we will invite you to Komuna/Warszawa, one of the first places which
started working in this way. Our workshops will engage artists who create together, in a group. We will consider what happened to events which did not take place as previously planned? Premieres? Exhibitions? Did they leave black holes behind? Will projects return or are they back in a new reality? Are they relevant? What of the unusual situation artists are finding themselves in during the pandemic? What new needs and new rules are governing participation in the arts?

The Summer Academy consists of workshops, lectures, meetings and actions in which artists from around the world will take part. Our main goal is to create a space for meeting & mingling, for exchanging thoughts through joint action. We agree with the statement that artists should not only create unique pieces of art, but they should also creatively participate in networks and social situations, which is why we are organizing our Summer Camp as an example of such artistic activity.
