Jana Korb creates aerial theater, narrative circus and performances for public space.\u00a0Thus she is\u00a0working on\u00a0trancending traditional borders\u00a0by combining\u00a0different genres: Physical theater is merged with contemporary circus, dance theater with trapeze art, performance with acrobatics. Using these methods, condensed, deep, and touching performances emerge, in which\u00a0her circus arts become\u00a0an element of narration, and aerial arts\u00a0her language.<\/p>\n

Her world of aerial theater is painfully human, is about personal dreams and examines pure emotions.She locates herself within the field of critical theory and feminism, and approaches her creation through the social tensions\u00a0of age, gender, and body.<\/p>\n

A Circus Trilogy after Kafka<\/p>\n

A trapeze artist had so arranged her life that she never came down from\u00a0her trapeze by night or day. But one day she realized that one trapeze wasn't enough anymore: \u201cOnly this one bar in my hands\u2014how can I live?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With the circus literature by Franz Kafka and Jean Genet, Jana Korb examines the existential essence of aerial arts, the art of aerial arts. She explores the topic of circus in literature and brings it back as theatric performance into the circus. With\u00a0narration as the starting point, she\u00a0develops her own circus body language. It is about dependencies, intransigence, and\u00a0everlasting\u00a0temporary \u2013 high up on the trapeze.<\/p>\n

TrapezTanzTheater \/ Trapeze-Dance-Theater<\/p>\n

With everyday scenes and a passion for detail Jana Korb tells a very personal tale. Daily rituals are grotesquely pulled apart and employed as dance elements on the ground and on the trapeze. Artistic tricks melt into a body language, exposing pain and yet moments later provoking laughter. A story emerges of the beauty of everyday movement, of dreams of flying, and of the recollections of an old woman.<\/p>\n

Vintage! Women! Variete! is a performative examination of traditional and contemporary circus history, a homage to our idols, a play toying with old and new circus techniques. This documentary circus theater tells true stories about real women - accompanied by a touring exhibition about women in circus, variety and acrobatics.<\/p>\n

artistic research about bodies and circus<\/p>\n

Jana Korb is interested in bodies, situated between discipline and alternative ability, between adrenalin high and pain.
\nThus the microcosm of circus merely is an aspect of a society that bases its norm on physical inequalities. How is circus representative of this physical norm?
\n#ablebodiesandstones is searching for a circus of the future, is artistically exploring the future of circus.<\/p>\n

I have been enjoying to create site specific work, delving into examination of a specific space. I develop performances, workshops, and contemporary circus in public spaces \u2013 based on research material that I obtain by historical and socio-cultural research, by structural and aesthetic inspiration.<\/p>\n

A solo about the quiet cruelty and subtle manipulation of girls' friendships. A reminiscence about childhood \"best friends forever\". Memories without nostalgia.
\nYet, \"Paper Dolls\" is a plea for friendship! Unconditionally. Longing. For the best friend.
\nJana Korb interprets Margaret Atwood's novel \"Cat's eye\" as physical theater. Accompanied and supported by the voice of Jennie Zimmermann, her soundscapes and loops, with words that are aimed to mesmerize the audience.<\/p>\n

\"In the past, people who had to separate would look for a star where their gaze might meet in the evening.
\nAt least they cannot divide the sky.
\nThe sky? This enourmous vault of hope and yearning, love and sorrow?
\nThe sky is what divides first of all.\"<\/em>

With aerial arts, dance, and fire arts we research new connections and choreographies, explore site specific conditions of our performance spaces, and play with public space.<\/p>\n
