Born in 1985, Warsaw. Multicamera director and photographer, specializing in filming ballet, opera, theater and concerts.
Truly passionate about filming stage performances in which she applies her musical education and over 20 years of experience in ballet photography. Since 2009 she has been the main photographer and videomaker for the Polish National Ballet. Author of recordings and trailers that have shaped the company’s image internationally.
In 2016 she successfully filmed Krzysztof Pastor’s ballet The Tempest based on Shakespeare. Since then, she has filmed the most important performances of the Polish National Ballet, including works by John Neumeier, Wayne McGregor, Manuel Legris, John Cranko, Kenneth MacMillan, Hans van Manen, Yuri Grigorovich, Liam Scarlett, Maina Gielgud, Natalia Makarova and Bronislava Nijinska. In 2018 she directed the first two full-length livestreams of ballets from the Warsaw stage (International Ballet Gala and And the rain will pass… by Krzysztof Pastor with music by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki). In the same year she took over the artistic management of the Audiovisual Studio of the Polish National Opera.
Her filming of the ballet Giselle from 2022, choreographed by Maina Gielgud, reached nearly 500,000 views and thus broke the viewing record of the OperaVision platform. Some of the comments were:
Love the way this is filmed. Good cameraman and director! Very often I find that they do so many cuts at the editing that you can’t appreciate the dancers and the choreography. This is perfect! (the dancers and the orchestra are amazing) @FannyPlusvi
I COMPLETELY AGREE! Just enough close-ups & full frames without losing the ballet; TRUELY, seamless! Thank you for posting! We who can not afford access to attend in person, have not missed out by watching it on a recorded visual medium! Truly, MAGICAL!! @evelanpatton
Magnifique représentation, superbement filmée ! Tous les danseurs et danseuses ont une technique parfaite et sont pleins de grâce de beauté et ont une synchronisation parfaite. Excellent orchestre! Bravo à tous et merci infiniment pour ces moments de bonheur! @Jean-Pierre Priolau
She has also created video projections for numerous ballet and opera productions of the Polish National Opera and Opera Nova in Bydgoszcz, as well as for the Lithuanian National Ballet, Wrocław Opera, Silesian Opera, Stadttheater Giessen or Opera at the Castle in Szczecin.
