Summary/Abstract: Karolina Wycisk writes about the International Modern Dance Festival Kroki (Cracow, 13-22 May 2016). This year's edition was entitled “The body is (not) enough”. Wycisk looks at the dance performances presented at the festival through the focus of Martina Ruhsam's concept of the “dramaturgy of cooperation”, pointing out the process of creating the performance as a result of cooperation between numerous people with various competences. Wycisk considers Black Peace by Ward/waRD to be the most interesting performance of the festival. It was choreographed, directed and performed by Ann Van den Broek. In the conclusion, the author emphasises that engaging the viewers in the process of producing the performances is part of the festival's “dramaturgy of cooperation”.
