With Jay Afrisando
Composer, multimedia artist, and 2024 DAAD Music & Sound Fellow Jay Afrisando collaborates with dancer and choreographer Siska Aprisia to present their dance piece Body Migration – I Do(n’t) Want as part of Aprisia’s TanzFaktur REFLEKT Residency. This work presents voices and bodies in human migration. Partly autoethnographic, the work tells stories of migrants from different tribes, ethnic groups, and skin colors.

You can find tickets here.
Jay Afrisando is a DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Fellow 2024 and an Assistant Professor of Music at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the music and sound captions used for the dance piece are created by Jay Afrisando during a residency at DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program.
