Akademia Ruchu was established in Warsaw in 1973. Its founder and artistic director was Wojciech
Krukowski. From the very beginning of its activity Akademia Ruchu has been known as the “theater of
behavior” and visual narration. Akademia Ruchu is a creative group operating on the border of various
disciplines – theater, visual arts, performance art and film. Common features in the creative process of
Akademia Ruchu are: movement, space and a social message. Related to this is the belief that artistic
radicalism and the social message do not have to be mutually exclusive. The works of Akademia Ruchu
in the open space of the city, which have been a regular, continuous activity since 1974 (over 600
performances, events and street actions), are the first example in Poland of such systematic activities of
a creative group – outside the official sphere of art cult – in “non-artistic” space; in the streets, in
residential houses and industrial zones. On the other hand, the elements of everyday life transferred in
the practice of Akademia Ruchu into the “holy” space of art (on stage, in the gallery) enriched her
anthropological vision, leaving nothing aesthetic. Akademia Ruchu has presented its works in almost all
European countries, as well as in the Americas and Japan
