Jo Koppe

When our main senses are taken away, we enter a state of increased awareness on all other levels. This is an invitation to a one hour session of sensory deprivation, an hour without seeing or hearing. It is an invitation to make contact with ourselves and with others in a different dimension. An invitation to perceive and experience physical touch, smell, proximity and distance, space and time, movement and stillness, our own body and those of others, in a state of increased sensitivity. An invitation to explore how silence gives space to our bodies to unfold in a new timing, and how darkness reveals sensual poetry.

Jo is a freelance dancer, performer and facilitator. He completed his dance education at TIP/bewegungs-art Freiburg and holds a Magister degree in Sociology and Gender Studies. As a performer he has worked with Keith Hennessy, Costas Lamproulis, Lea Martini, and Kai Simon Stoeger among others, and also develops his own solo work. He is interested in creating spaces for unlikely encounters, feeding queer monsters, and building impossible bridges.
