Summary/Abstract: The paper refers to one of the statements of Leszek Bzdyl, director, actor, choreographer, and founder of Dada von Bzdülöw Theatre, in which he called for the creation of “a new body language”—a type of narration which confirms the important role of working with body and movement in Polish theatres. It concerns the work done by choreographers and people who specialise in intense physical training, which is based on not only the techniques of acting, but also various forms of contemporary dance and improvisation. The deepening of the theoretical reflection on the theory of dance and movement in the theatre may not only provide answers to questions about the aesthetics of the contemporary theatre in Poland and provide a reason for increasing interdisciplinary research, but also eliminate or resist unfair stereotypes concerning the environmental image of dancers and choreographers.
