Summary/Abstract: Over the last decade, Polish new dance artists (choreographers, danc­ers, dramaturgs, curators) have been creating grassroots spaces for dynamic collaboration networks, formed through interpersonal rela­tions, based on acts of sharing, exchange, and transfer of material and non -material resources. This article examines the dynamic of coop­eration in present -day formal and informal collectives, centers, and “houses” created by Polish independent dance artists. It investigates the transfer of knowledge, skills, and practices serving to achieve vis­ibility; this issue is presented with respect to social and professional relationships, inquiring into forms of collaboration on material, intel­lectual, and affective levels. It also outlines historical practices and a theoretical context.
