We wrapped up the 10th edition of Forecast Mentorships with the premiere of the six final projects presented across different venues in Berlin.

Each project is paired with an essay by an invited expert reflecting on the proposal.

"Dancing With Ghosts" is an essay by researcher and author Teresa Fazan on Wojciech Rybicki solo work SISTERS.

"In his solo work SISTERS, premiering at Sophiensaele in Berlin in February 2026, the emerging Polish choreographer Wojciech Rybicki draws on archival material to explore the micro-history of Poland’s transition from communism to democracy in 1989, while also processing the loss of his beloved grandfather. Structured around these two unrelated events, this intimate, séance-like performance confronts the vulnerability of memory and the realization that some events—and some people—are irretrievably lost to the past."
