ABOUT AFTERGLOW ARTS
Afterglow Arts was founded in 2018 by Lucie Pokorna as a result of crossing borders of street theatre with the mainstream world.
As a trained dancer, Lucie has been experimenting with other expressions of movement which shaped her into a multi-skilled artist.
The idea behind Afterglow Arts is to push boundaries, explore and combine dance, fire, stiltwalking and LED light performance.
Afterglow Arts is a crossover of different disciplines which results in an unique experience for the audience.
THE FOUNDER
Lucie was born and grew up in Prague, Czech Republic. Since early age she has been involved in all kinds of art forms - music, dance, theatre and visual art. From an early age she has been trained in various dance styles nationally and later internationally.
She has been always fascinated by different countries, cultures and languages and that’s why during her dance and music studies in Prague, she decided to discover what is beyond the borders of her own country. Fascinated by scandinavian countries she ended up at a Danish theatre school but shortly after completing a half year Lucie moved to Berlin. Although she fell in love with the city, her inner voice was leading her to cross the ocean - all the way to Canada.
After tasting the distance, Lucie decided to move back to Europe. In 2015 she settled in Amsterdam, a city which she would later call home. Since then Lucie discovered many new art forms and disciplines like flow arts, stilt walking and aerial dance.
