Jana Korb is an aerialist and performer, artist and producer of contemporary circus and street theater. She works artistically and organisationally for the visibility of women in performing arts.
Apart from performing in gala shows and corporate events, in circus and variete, she has been researching to transcend aerial arts and to find a new approach and body language to the space and the technique of trapeze, silks and rope. Coming from Czech experimental theater, she realized this with her solo-production “Frau Vladusch – TrapezTanzTheater”, which she has been performing and touring with in the last years. Other productions are aerial theater, “Paper Dolls” – based on a novel by Margaret Atwood, as well as the “Vintage! Women – an artistic time journey to historic circus ladies”. Latest productions are "First Sorrow - Circus-Trilogy after Franz Kafka", a 70min. duett with acrobatics, pole and trapeze, and "FernNah" a tree performance about the Beguine Margerite Porete.
Her co-production “Trapeztheater Daumenkino” received grants from Hauptstadtkulturfonds, Fonds Darstellende Künste and Deutsch-Tschechischer Zukunftsfonds, and was nominated for Jeunes Talents Cirque in 2004. In 2018 she was official artist of the city of Munich (Germany) in Villa Waldberta.
