Till Jasper Krappmann, Born in 1990 in Kassel. He is artistic co-director of the ATASH عطش contemporary dance company since 2020. Since 2017 he is responsible for the scenography of the dance group’s productions. Till Krappmann studied scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna under the direction of Anna Viebrock. Since 2017 freelancer as Costume designer and Scenographer. 2006-2010 apprenticeship as a Metal Technician – forging technology at the Veterinary University of Vienna, Austria. 2009 University course in Hoof and Claw Shoeing, study of physiotherapy and acupuncture for horses and small animals at the “ifT” (Institute for Veterinary Medicine) in Viernheim, Germany.
He grew up in a intinerant theatre group called “Soluna”, which was founded by his parents and still travels through Europe by horse-drawn caravans. From an early age, he was actively involved in the performance and creation of transdisciplinary theatre pieces.
Both on a theoretical level and in his works as a designer of spaces and situations, he is concerned with the reciprocal relationships between social and physical space. Beyond aesthetic and formal design, he is on the lookout for experimental arrangements and spatial practices that encourage the testing of sensitive processes of mutual approach and distance among those present. Space as memory and central figure forms the basis of his artistic analysis in his way of exploring space and place.
