The ballet When You End and I Begin... by Robert Bondara to music by Pawe? Szyma?ski is the most interesting project of the 1st Choreography Workshop during which dancers from the Polish National Ballet could produce their own choreographies. That's why we have decided to include this piece in our chamber ballet repertoire. Jacek Tyski has already designed a number of choreographies outside the Grand Theatre. Now he has received a proposal to create a new one-act ballet to the music of his choice by a Polish composer. The ballet Alpha Kryonia Xe is a choreography by Jacek Przyby?owicz, since recently the director of the ballet company at Pozna?'s Grand Theatre. It returns to our repertoire on 11 December 2009, after which it will be shown as part of the ballet evening Alpha and More, where young Polish choreography meets contemporary Polish music.

A ballet evening comprising works by three young Polish choreographers. Robert Bondara's ballet When You End and I Begin... to music by Pawe? Szyma?ski is the most interesting effect of the 1st Choreography Workshop at the Teatr Wielki (2009), during which dancers from the Polish National Ballet had the opportunity to stage and present their own choreographies. That is why the work was included in the ballet company's chamber repertoire last season. Our soloist Jacek Tyski already boasts some choreographic achievements outside the Teatr Wielki. His ballet In Search of Colours, to the music of Gra?yna Bacewicz, is a new work commissioned by the Polish National Ballet. The evening's third choreographer is our former dancer Jacek Przyby?owicz, currently the ballet company director at the Teatr Wielki in Pozna?. He produced his work, Alpha Kryonia Xe to music by the young composer Aleksandra Gryka, at Warsaw's Teatr Wielki in 2006, and the Polish National Ballet revived it last season as part of the evening entitled Alpha and More, in which young Polish choreography confronts contemporary Polish music.
