Sometimes the 'unfulfilled' dies in a healthy way, decomposing and enriching the soil, giving life to the new. However, sometimes the 'unfulfilled' grows toxic and poisons, destroying us or other creative processes that could fill the void.

We invite all those who carry within them what has not come to be.

'There is no' is a series of empowering workshops for those who “couldn't manage”/didn't have the opportunity to realize creative ideas, works, creations.

Ula Kijak's project 'There is no (I can't manage / I don't do - I give to you) and it is' is a chance to close what has been open for too long, or to return to what demands attention so that we can move forward.

How to create in a crisis – and what kind of art?

How to make art in the face of economic, social, or psychological difficulties?

Who and why can't manage and doesn't create?

How many mothers cannot afford to create theater?

What realizations of people from Ukraine and Belarus have not come to be?

What kind of opportunities are lacking for people with disabilities so that their ideas reach the stage?

What could queer individuals not show?

(Starting from individual unfulfillments, let’s expand the conversation about the duties and functions of art in times of escalating crises (pandemic, war, climate crisis, energy crisis, financial and psychological crisis). Let’s gather examples and examine the problem of overproduction. Let’s talk about ethical doubts in creative work and implementation difficulties. Let’s seek ecology in creative work that assumes a departure from multiplying products (and ultimately waste), focusing instead on the people creating art and their creative potentials.)

We will focus on appreciating the process and freeing it from the capitalist yoke of effect and will try to redirect thinking about experiencing art from aesthetic admiration to shared experience.

The workshops consist of three parts, which relate to three areas of struggle for artistic fulfillment.

- Presence - 20.10 (about entering the world of art)

- Perspective - 17.11 (about presenting oneself)

- Structure - 15.12 (about telling in one's own way)

The Workshop Cycle is free of charge.

Separate registrations are required for all workshops, which we accept via email: rezerwacje@teatr21.pl.

The project is being implemented as part of the artistic scholarship of the capital city of Warsaw.
