What is Good Girl Killer?

Good Girl Killer was founded at the beginning of 2005 by four polish artists: Magda Jedra, Zbigniew Zibi Bienkowski, Anna Steller and Grzegorz Welizarowicz.

Their first project, Good Girl Killer performance, premiered in March 2005 in Poland, Gdańsk. The Good Girl Killer collective works in the fields of dance, theatre, dance workshops, music, video, multimedia.
Formally and ideologically our artistic and other activities endeavor to mix genres. Blurring the boundaries between the high and the popular art conventions we make use of the contemporary technology and try to maintain an honest and responsible attitude toward the past.
The aesthetics we use represents us and reflects our experiences and considerations. We aim to provide an honest reflection of our fascination with various experimental techniques we have been exposed to over the years.
