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.
