Mateusz Czwojdzinski

Multidisciplinary Contemporary Circus Artist | Director & Choreographer | Juggling, Fire & Aerial Specialist 

​About Me:

Active in the performing arts and contemporary circus scene since 2010, I am a highly versatile performer, director, and choreographer. With an academic foundation in Psychology and Classical Philology (University of Wrocław) alongside formal training at the Contemporary Circus Study, I bring a deeply analytical and culturally rich perspective to the stage. I specialize in juggling, object manipulation, aerial arts, and high-impact fire performances, including bodyburning.

​Driven by continuous growth, I have honed my craft through extensive masterclasses in directing, acting, and movement, including training with Teatr Ochota and the Warsaw Dance Department.

​Stage & Directorial Experience:

My work seamlessly blends contemporary circus, physical theater, and dance. As a co-founder of the Ale Circus Dance Company, I am dedicated to creating immersive, interdisciplinary productions.

​Director: Piotruś Pan - powrót do Nibylandii (2024), Jaskiniowcy (2023), Romantyczność - vol.3. Świtezianka (2022), Mechanicy (2021), Bachantki (2018), Tabakiera (2017), Pamiętnik Wertera (2016).

​Industry Recognition & Leadership:

​Community Building: Co-organizer and creator of major contemporary circus events in Poland, including the Warsaw Variete Stage (since 2016) and the CyrkON convention (since 2020). I also serve as a board member of the Cirka Foundation.

​Beyond the Stage:

I am a dedicated designer and creator of custom stage and circus props. Outside the artistic world, I am an avid traveler and a certified freediving instructor—bringing the same intense focus and breath control from the depths of the water to the heights of the stage.
