About Karol

Creator of physical performances to challenge, stimulate or tickle your brain, Karol Cysewski is a Cardiff based choreographer, teacher and independent dance artist. Karol studied at The State Ballet School in Poznan, Poland and went on to train at Laban Centre London graduating in 2001. He has since worked for several dance companies including Polish Dance Theatre, Carte Blanche Norway, and National Dance Company Wales. He teaches regularly at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

His production ‘Wonders of the Universe‘, in which a trio of bearded professors attempt to dance the story of creation, accompanied by a physics lecture from Brian Cox, received four stars in The Guardian.This was followed by ‘Homo Irrationalis‘ which, performed by three smart yet idiotic male dancers, was a physical and funny mission to discover the true nature of humankind. In 2024, Karol’s work takes a more serious turn with ‘Requiem’ – a piece which pairs three dancers with 3 neurodivergent actors to explore the devastating impact of health inequality.
