In July 2013, Jasmin Schaitl and William “Bilwa” Costa began a collaborative duo. Since then they have performed, led workshops, and have been artists in residence in Vienna, Berlin, Helsinki, Tallinn, Tartu, Oslo, Poznań, Nürnberg, Bristol, and Istanbul.

Their work is a continuous process of: practice, assessment, reflection, accumulation, and reduction. The two artists have an ongoing series of performative actions, as well as interest in further research through leading workshops.

Their performances address the physical relationship between two performers while exploring the correlation between, and potentials of: duration – ephemerality, proximity – distance, transformation – alteration, and duality – unison.

Their goal is to reduce, minimize, and find the essence of each action.

group projects

In addition to their duo, Jasmin and Bilwa collaborate with Akemi Nagao as Collective 三 (3) . They also work in larger groups, as part of ongoing projects titled Co- and sub_space, which focus on concept and time-based scores.
