Polish choreographer and artist based in Berlin, Maciej Sado, is at Graner conducting mentoring sessions with resident artist Guillem Jiménez as part of the 2022 mentoring and international residency program of the Institut Ramon Llull. Taking advantage of his stay in Barcelona, he proposes a free workshop at Graner to share his movement practice, under the name Northing.
Northing is a movement research workshop based on a practice developed in collaboration with Andrea Zavala Folache. The practice involves working with handmade virtualities, errors, imaginaries, and objects that embody notions such as nothingness, obliqueness, deviation, and other concepts.

- Wednesday, October 28, 2022, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM at Graner (c/Jane Addams 14-16) How to get there

Maciej Sado – choreographer, performer, and dancer. He graduated in choreography from SNDO in Amsterdam in 2016 and in medicine from the University of Medicine in Wrocław in 2012. In his work, he explores the concept of obliqueness to challenge the contract between spectator-performer and question the usual perspective of entering spaces and the strangeness within norms. He designs bodily technologies for manually augmented realities and engages in the creative processes of other artists in a dynamic dramaturgy, a crucial part of his choreographic unfolding. He has performed or collaborated as a performer in projects by other artists such as Ola Maciejewska, Florentina Holzinger and Vincent Riebeek, Tino Sehgal, Peaches, Keith Hennessy, Fernando Belfiore, Laima Jaunzema, Reza Mirabi. In 2016, he received the DanceWeb scholarship during the Impulz-Festival de Tanz in Vienna. He is a member of the KuLe collective in Berlin.
