Summary/Abstract: An interview with Dominika Knapik, a self-proclaimed “thinking actress/dancer/choreographer.” Knapik states how and why she came into dance after finishing theater school. She shows the reader the genesis of her “alphabet of movements,” based on two autobiographical plays: How Do You Like It and Not I. She also describes her collaborations with other artists – mainly Wojtek Klimczyk and Iga Gańczarczyk – and speaks of the various roles she has played: actress, dancer, choreographer in dance and theater performances. Nor does she pass over the question of the problematic position of the choreographer in Polish dramatic theaters. To conclude, she speaks of her new projects and her plans for the future.
