Adam Gąsecki

I am an experienced theatre actor - having created over 30 roles in various theater types - psychological/dramatic and physical, working with many directors and companies. I am also a performer. Four years ago I made my first step on a film set and so far have done a dozen roles in series, feature films, also some leads in short films. Now (summer/fall 2024) I'm doing a supporting role in a feature film. I wonder sometimes if I might have not become an actor... In my twenties I was a graduate in psychology, I did various creative jobs... But I guess I couldn't resist something stronger then me - when I tasted theater as an actor - the love for acting completely took me. I have a diploma in acting from ZASP (Union of Polish Stage Artists). As part of my artistic education, over years I have participated in dozens (thousands of hours of work) acting, performance and dance classes, workshops, labs, workshops with casting directors. For example, a few months ago I graduated from the second year (year by year) in the full-year long Experimental Choreography Course at Centrum w Ruchu (an experimental choreography association in Warsaw). In contrast to performing arts area, however, half a year ago I gave myself a pleasure of taking part in the "Method Acting" workshop with Robert Castle, which you might consider an archetypal psychological acting convention. That is called diversity. I am also a theater director - mainly as the creator of participatory, socially engaged, collective theater, dedicated to lay people. I have lead over 20 such processes of creating a performance by groups from scratch – from the research phase, through improvising, training to prepairing performances or art installations and showing them to the audiences. I do love acting, but I also adore this beautiful piece of work – accompanying people who open themselves, inspiring them, watching them grow closer thanks to common creative madness.
