ARTISTIC VISION

PH-JUDITA KUNISKYTE

OVER THE PAST DECADE JACK HAS ESTABLISHED A BOLD AND DISTINCTIVE ARTISTIC VOICE. HIS WORK IS STRONGLY ROUTED IN DANCE, IMPROVISATION AND SOME TIMES CROSSES OVER IN TO PERFORMANCE ART. IT IS CONCERNED WITH THE EXPLORATION OF TRANSFORMATION AND DECONSTRUCTION OF THE BODY, STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS, HEIGHTENED EMOTIONAL STATES AND DISTORTION OF THE BODY, OBJECTS, COSTUME AND SURROUNDINGS. IT IS OFTEN INFLUENCED BY AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT TO THE GOINGS ON IN NATURE AND IN SOCIETY, EXISTENTIALISM, HUMAN AND ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR AND THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO AS WELL AS ZOOMING IN ON AND CONFRONTING INNER AND OUTER EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL LANDSCAPES OF THE PERFORMER AND AUDIENCE.
