Jana Jacuka

AAA (working title)

Amsterdam, Riga

In this work-in-progress, Jana Jacuka continues to explore voice as a choreographic process, where the voice becomes an extension of her body and breath a tool of communication with the audience. As the doors close and we become contained within one space - sharing the same circulation of air, breath, and information, using voice becomes a way of filling the room with exhaled air.

«AAA(working title)» departs from the vocal practice of yodeling, a «disobedient» vocal technique that resists the attempt to stabilize the voice and instead embraces instability. Through extreme vocal practices and unpredictable yodel flips, she oscillates between control and loss of control in both voice and body, inviting into an experience that is physically felt as much as it is heard.
