As the aims of this organisation diversified, Tuka Wach (pronounced “tooka vak”, more or less) became the naturally assumed identity for the duo.

Process-based and predominantly live, Tuka Wach's experiments in contemporary performance are not strictly dance, theatre or dance theatre, their strategies for devising and presentation resought each project anew in response to the material.

Collaborations have been supported through a succession of grants, scholarships, residencies, co-productions and festival selections, presented professionally in theatre, gallery, cinema, church, and online; in Poland, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, USA and Germany.
