STUDIO
Body, voice and ritual
in contact with technology
Jakob la Cour Studio creates performances and installations that invite heightened states of presence and imagination
Based in Copenhagen, the studio is artistically led by Jakob la Cour
Each work develops through collaboration with artists and specialists in performance, scenography, sound and technology
Audiences enter the work through movement, listening, touch and shared rituals
Inside the practice
Situations to be in
Performance, participation and the worlds we build together
The studio creates performances and installations that audiences enter and become part of
Bodies, sound, touch, space and technology shape situations that invite participation and open new ways of sensing, reflecting and being together
Across the studio’s work, virtual reality, spatial sound, motion tracking and game-engine systems meet physical performance and site-specific staging
These elements act on one another, shaping the relationship between the work and its participants
Workshops, talks & exchange
Practice, shared
The studio works with artists, institutions and collaborators across disciplines
Workshops, talks and labs create space to exchange methods and explore how participation, performance and technology can shape an experience
Teaching and knowledge exchange have included Future Games in Stockholm and the Danish National School of Performing Arts
