Jakob Wittkowsky is a performer, choreographer and musical artist, born in Munich/Germany, and currently based in Amsterdam/Netherlands. Jakob is working with movement, objects, sound, voice, text, and improvisation. He is aproching performance as a playfull and critical means of intervention into the self and into being in relation.

How malleable is the self, as it is embedded by structures of power and myth? Jakobs work tries to approach this question through affective and obscure strategies and through exploring relationships between containment and rupture, between ideology and desire, between the ecstatic and the everyday, between the theatrical and the banal.

Through working with improvisation and creating loose choreographic situations, the work always needs to be negotiated anew together in presence of audience. The work seeks to lean into ambivalences and contradictions that rise up in processes of decision-, image- and meaning-making, searching for modes of being that are simultaneously flexible yet uncompromising.
