Am I Good? by Ewelina Kolaczek & Nelly Alfandari
about the artwork
New performance by Ewelina Kolaczek with Nelly Alfandari
Am I Good is an exciting new piece exploring the need to be good. It asks who or what is the measure of goodness and success. Am I Good? tests the boundaries of both performers and audience by experimenting with how violent the need for a satisfying answer can be.

about the artist
About the Artists
Ewelina Kolaczek is an artist, curator and theatre maker examining transitions and spaces in-between the birth of viewpoints and the fixing of certainties; artificial sensory stimulus and authentic emotional response. Her work searches for new forms to play with and break down rigid perspectives and the impenetrability of personal experience.
Ewelina Kolaczek and Justin Allen run performance company Switch.
Nelly Alfandari is a facilitator, producer, performer and artist. She explores ideas of performance within public space as a tool for creative communication. Her work researches and challenges perceptions of public space and social statuses. Nelly's art creates opportunities for people to move beyond habitual behaviours and social constructs and invites to play with how people's use of space can constantly recreate the city.
Switch- About the Company
Switch is a company dedicated to new forms of performance, including live art, experimental theatre and queer cabaret. Our flexible approach and diverse programme emphasises individual performance practice while providing a space for collaboration. This is reflected in the diversity of forms our work takes: performances for camera; intimate encounters with one audience member at a time; performed installations for audiences up to 100; and participatory activities in which the boundary between audience and artist is blurred.
From the extreme to the subtly fleeting, whatever form it takes our practice centres on the live moment, with all of the opportunities and challenges it offers.
