This semester is all about trees, and in this session we will together try to get in touch with trees on a physical as well as emotional level.
We meet at the APL Studio, and if the weather allows, we walk to Stadtpark together, to get in touch, hug, climb the trees we encounter.
(If too cold to be outside, we will work with one another, fellow humans, and our memories.)
Back in the studio, we will work with our encounters and ideas: What do we see, hear and sense from nature, and how do we translate those feelings and associations into our own bodies’ movements?
Jaskaran will lead an atmospheric walk, finding places of belonging, opening situations to be truly transdisciplinary, human and more than human, creating spaces of communication, care, inclusion and diversity.
Jaskaran Anand was born in New Delhi and has been living in Linz since 2015. His works are trans-disciplinary interventions based on intersections between performative-art, scientific & art- based research, and participatory-collaborative artistic practices: using choreography & dance as a method of communication in- & beyond- the traditional art and public spaces. He looks forward to crossing borders, in different depths of artistic media with a focus on the human body acting as an interface.
He is an internationally acclaimed artist working as a performance-maker-artist, Initiator, dancer-choreographer, pedagogue, researcher, and video dramaturge-editor.
