Deep Dreams Dance Group

Experimental Dance & Dream Lab — Vienna
A project by Josef Ka

In autumn 2024, I guided a series of dance and dream workshops in Vienna under the name Deep Dreams Dance Group. It wasn’t just about movement—it was about opening up space for the body to speak, to dream, and to heal.

Over six weeks at Kunstraum Ewigkeitsgasse, we explored improvisation, collective dreaming, and spontaneous creation. The sessions were open to everyone, no dance background needed—just a willingness to dive in.

The process combined elements of experimental dance, performance, and art therapy. It became a shared space of transformation, where movement met memory, and where each body brought its own stories into motion.

We ended every cycle with an open rehearsal—an invitation to share what had emerged, in whatever raw or refined form it took. Thank you to everyone who danced, dreamed, and showed up with presence.

Special thanks to Alfred Woschitz und Chris Haderer

International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka blends richly varied influences – everything from Butoh dance to cinematic theory – with her decades of nomadic world travel to create bold, highly personal site-specific art. Josef Ka’s themes range from investigating the place of the human body in contemporary reality to exploring the inner body as a representative system of our human and post human kind. Her artistic practice often actively invites the audience inside a sort of private reverie, making it is a deeply participatory one; she actively engages with both her audiences and with a wide diversity of other experimental artists. In addition to her own work, Josef Ka curates a regular series of events and exhibitions at her Helsinki underground space – Sauna Gallery – and teaches classes on the theory and practice of performance art. She is also the inventor of the WORST THEATRE and her yogic training system, KA-YOGA. https://eskargoeskargo.com/
