Magdalena Malinová

I am a 26-year-old artist from Prague, Czechia. Currently I have finished an internship as Intendant / Assistant of the curatorial team of the VIERNULVIER Cultural Centre , while completing a Master's degree in Devised Theatre at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. I am a member of the Czech theater company Kolektiv Nesladim dedicated to destigmatizing mental disorders and I collaborate with Nitish Jain and his company Studio MoreThanThat which focuses on intimate, multi-sensory performances in the format of one-to-one theatre.

My diverse experience spans across dance, performance, dramaturgy, production management, and film acting. I am part of the Czech theater group 'Collective Nesladim,' which focuses on mental health and destigmatization of mental disorders.

In my own artistic practice, topics such as intimacy, touch, and working with our senses are absolutely crucial. I am enthusiastic about new challenges within collaborative and multicultural environments.

In my personal landscape, the realms of hospitality and food intertwine as avenues to counter consumerism. I am passionate about cultivating care, togetherness, and slowness as essential tools for resilience in today's world.

Dance, for me, is not just a passion; it's a way of living and thinking, shaping how I perceive and interact with reality. I believe that everything transforms our approach to gaze, and thus, reality materializes differently. Recently, my exploration has delved deeply into the Israeli GAGA movement language, which I see as a profound remedy guiding my navigation through everyday life.
