so soft and the sun
Solar simulation and ongoing research project. With artists from the fields of dance and performance, software development, scenography,
fashion, sound, graphics and photography, material is generated and collected from fragmentary thoughts and associations on the subject of
dance, coding and energy.
A limited edition of the documentation / white paper "so soft and the sun" was published at the end of 2023. If interested in a copy for artistic research, get in contact via
email.

Deep.Dance
Three dancers enter into a hermetically soft choreography generated entirely by an artificial intelligence
and explore the hyper-logical creativity of code.
…threateningly successful interplay of artificial conceptual
and human-bodily-motor intelligence…

1000 Kisses
Pop-Up performance for young audience—Ever kissed a thousand times? Two dancers don’t mince their words and try it. Somewhere between fun, frustration and, above all, effort, their lips become dry and kissing becomes a completely new thing: Conventions, gender and lame prejudices dissolve and draw a rather strange movement portrait of devoted touching. From South-East Asian incantations to Western hypersexualisation, everything is there and transforms into a jungle of images and movement before the audience’s eyes.

ABOUT
Jascha Viehstädt, a Hamburg-based choreographer and dancer, operates at the intersection of physicality, conceptual exploration, and form.
Holding a degree in classical and contemporary dance from Hamburg, he furthered his studies and earned an MA in Choreography from HZT Berlin and UDK Berlin.
Jascha frequently collaborates with Düsseldorf-based choreographer Chikako Kaido (DE/JP) and co-produces works with choreographer Raymond Liew Jin Pin (DE/MY).
As a founding member and choreographer of Berlin's documentary performance group Costa Compagnie, he played a pivotal role in developing innovative
choreographic methods and delving into global transformation processes, particularly in crisis regions.
In October 2020, Jascha established the collaborative rehearsal space SHD/ STUDIO Hammer Deich. This space serves as a creative hub where he not only produces
his own works but also engages with local and international dancers, choreographers, and artists.
Jascha's artistic endeavors focus on exploring the intricate dimensions of real and virtual spaces and the bodies inhabiting them. His approach involves an
open exploration of formless, physical states, and an obsessive quest for clear structures within them. By grappling with the transient nature of movement,
formal aesthetics, and their mutual influences, Jascha navigates the convergence of movement and technology in his creative pursuits.
