Workshop with Jäger Ooms

Ambient Theater Fury by Jäger Ooms focuses on the discomfort of human encounters online due to physical absence. Digitization creates a very high level of pseudo-activity in subjects, and Jäger Ooms goes all out and puts the discomfort on display in a performance without real meetings or dialogue.

The workshop starts with seven existential questions that not only explore Jäger Ooms’ working method and expression, but also invite you to reflect on your own creative processes:

• Which methods do you use in your work?
• How do you come up with ideas for projects?
• What kind of experiments do you do in your process?
• How do you generate material?
• What inspires your work?
• How do you decide what material to use from your experiments?
• What criteria do you use to select your material?
