Just like in present time, music which we are listening to is not the same, like one in Chopin times, starting from contemporary sound of piano, which has nothing to do with instrument on which he was composing, dance have also moved above classic forms of past epoch. Changes about which we are talking regards also to people relationships, way’s of communication, expression and emotional articulation.
In “Chopin differently” I don’t negate traditional values, my purpose is going beyond the classical round of music and dance, receipting and transforming Chopin’s creations in modern way, with using modern forms of movement and electronic technology, along with piano versions of his preludes and nocturnes composes.

Legendary character of Warsaw and Paris bohemia, she started her artistic carrier in sixties in Warsaw Opera ballet, where she danced with Witold Gruca and Stanisław Szymański. History of polish dance will always keep her duets with Gerard Wilk, former soloist of “XX Century Ballet” by Maurice Bejart.
In times, when contemporary dance in Poland was performed and based more on instinct techniques then methodic trainings, Krystyna Mazurówna, using her knowledge and abilities obtained in Paris, have brought with Wilk a jazz dance to theatres, band stands and Tv screens.
In 1967 she founded her own artistic team called “Phantom”, which become a precursor of contemporary and jazz dance on polish scene. She was forced by the previous government to leave country, she went to Paris, where she danced as a soloist in Josephine Baker spectacle, and later as a soloist in “Casino de Paris”.
