MAGDALENA HYLAK

Dance artist based in Ireland.
She is currently touring nationally and internationally with John Scott-IMDT (IE) and Nacera Belaza (FR), with over 200 performances in 68 venues across 14 countries.
Since 2021, she is developing her own body of work with associated composer Lionel Kasparian, where she questions the notion of performance. At the core of her research is the movement and sound outside of the question of style/genre or technique.
Magdalena Hylak has been commissioned by Galway Dance Days (2012), Galway Dance Project (2016, 2020, 2021), Clifden Arts Festival (2022, 2023) and Tipperary Dance International Festival (2023).
She is the recipient of funding from the Arts Council of Ireland (Agility Award 2021, Commission Award-GDP 2021, Dance Bursary Award 2022, 2023), the Galway County Council (Artist Support Scheme 2022, 2024), the National Dance Residency Partnership (Award 2023) and the Project Award (2026). Since 2023, she has been the Galway Dance Artist in Residence.
