Summary/Abstract: Stanisław Godlewski reviews the Frog's-Eye View interdisciplinary program, carried out in spring and fall of 2015 at the Castle Culture Center in Poznań. The author covers three performances: Iza Szostak's Feed Him, Angela Schubot and Jered Gradinger's What They Are Instead of?, and Antonia Baehr's Abecedarium Bestiarium. The key to Godlewski's text is the show of various human/animal relationship strategies. The author suggests that through choreographic dramaturgy, the artists have shown the meaning of the words “animal” and “animalistic” using characteristic forms of movement, thus avoiding the trap of anthropomorphization and animalization.
