Expert on Indian Culture


my profile

 

I am a manager, a scholar of cinema and theatre, an expert on India, and a Hindi teacher. I teach classes at the National Academy of Dramatic Art in Warsaw and at the University of Warsaw. 

My research focuses on the cultural interpretation of performances, closely examining their social, political and religious underpinnings. A public performance, in my view, speaks volumes about the broader culture in which it plays a role, and is therefore a tool for learning about society and its traditions. I analyze portrayals of women in film and theatre, contemporary interpretations of traditional mythology and the intertwining of cinematic and theatrical aesthetics. I have authored a monograph about film and theatre adaptations of the Ramayana epic (soon to be published). I have also translated some poems by the Hindi poet Kunwar Narayan. I study the traditions of kathputli puppet theatre and lead marionette workshops. I also lead cross-cultural communication workshops focusing on India and Southeast Asia.

Working in culture, project management and event organization, I have been the production manager for a film, organized English-language workshops about India, directed premiere screenings and ceremonies, emceed events, delivered lectures, led cultural training courses, coordinated festivals, promoted events, translated films, and provided consultations on Indian culture. I lead intercultural communication workshops focusing on India and South-East Asia.

I have over 15 years of experience in science administration. I am a deputy director of administration at the PAS Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures.

My professional experience encompasses 22 years of activity in academia, culture, administrative and project management.

A few days ago, I came back from India. I returned to New Delhi, where I had the opportunity to visit the National School of Drama. With pleasure, I attended the opening ceremony of the Bharat Rang Mahotsav, a theatre festival with 270 performances on stage. The opening spectacle based on the Ramayana epic was especially moving for me because I research theatre reception of the famous epic. I also had a great opportunity to meet the students of the National School of Drama and explain to them how I approach the theatre of India and what my understanding of cultural performances is. I returned to the Shadipur Kathputli colony, which is still under reconstruction, and the India Habitat Centre, an incredible place for artists and researchers. Few days in Mumbai gave me a chance to relax and experience this vivid city.

I look forward to
working together!
