Our Expertise
Art Now is a boutique studio exploring dance and movement as a creative and investigative practice across design, business, art and science.
We bring together artistic expertise, embodied knowledge and transdisciplinary perspectives to develop distinctive experiences, choreographic interventions, and experimental collaborations for organisations, brands, and institutions across culture and research.
Our work invites new ways of perceiving, thinking, and relating to people, objects, and the world around us. We inspire people to explore unfamiliar perspectives, connect across differences, and rediscover the pleasure of being fully present and alive.
​
We place equal value on intellectual depth and aesthetic quality, paying close attention to the atmosphere and subtle details that give each experience its distinct character.
Origins
Art Now grew from a longstanding curiosity about how we perceive, experience, and give meaning to the world. Founded by Sylwia Orczykowska, it brings together over fifteen years of experience in creative practice, design, communication, and philosophical inquiry, enriched by collaborations across art, science, and systemic research.
At its heart is a fascination with the relationships between people, ideas, environments, and the living world — and a conviction that art can do more than represent reality. It can actively participate in transforming how we understand and inhabit it.
​
​This curiosity has gradually evolved into a practice that moves freely between disciplines, combining conceptual thinking with sensory and embodied experience. It is also shaped by an appreciation for complexity, ambiguity, and the many ways in which meaning can emerge.
From Passion to Practice
Over time, movement and dance became an increasingly important part of this exploration. What began as a personal passion, developed through years of contemporary dance, modern jazz, and contact improvisation, gradually revealed a much broader potential.
Dance offers a remarkable intelligence of its own: a way of exploring relationships, negotiating differences, expressing what escapes verbal language, and discovering possibilities that cannot always be reached through thought alone.
This recognition has shaped Art Now's growing focus on choreography, embodied inquiry, and experiences that move between artistic expression, research, and collective participation. It has also led to collaborations with a diverse network of performers, dancers, and choreographers across Switzerland and internationally.
Dance as a Way of Knowing
Today, Art Now continues to evolve together with Amrei Andrasch, a designer of regenerative experiences, and is supported by a multidisciplinary advisory network bringing together expertise across artistic, scientific, and professional fields. Together, we cultivate a space where artistic imagination, intellectual curiosity, and the vitality of lived experience meet.
Our interest in art goes far beyond making it accessible. We are particularly interested in dance and movement as rich forms of expression, perception, and inquiry — ways of generating knowledge, exploring relationships, and discovering possibilities that may remain inaccessible through words alone.

We bring these qualities into the places where we learn, work, think, and live — with curiosity, sensitivity, a sense of humour, and a genuine appetite for life.
