Partial Uncertainty (Mish Rais and Jana Novorytová)

We met in 2014 at an audition for the SE.S.TA show. Since then, we have been creating, working and living in close collaboration in various projects of different nature with overlap in different fields and disciplines.

Since 2014, we have created two original performances (Partial Uncertainty, together with Roman Zabelov and Štěpán Hejzlar, and %& 3-5-8- @#...and it's just dawn in Alaska, together with Pasi Mäkelä and René Vitvar) that thematize participation and the role of language in a dance-theatre format. In these two more or less variable formats we have carried out more than forty different events, interventions ranging from in-home performances to site-specific performances and performances in classical theatre spaces.

As performers, we also work together in artistic projects by other Czech and foreign artists and choreographers (Martha Moore, Jiří Havelka and VerTe Dance, Mirka Eliášová, CreWcollective projects).

We are both co-directors of CreWcollective in various roles and projects - as producers, curators, performers, lecturers. See www.crewcollective.cz, projects LAB4tools, Moving Orchestra, After the Belt, I Dream of a Bright Future, workshops with international artists: Julyen Hamilton, Bettina Neuhaus and Eva Karczag, Daniel Lepkoff.

Since 2023, we have been doing research in the field of pedagogy of performing arts at the Department of Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy at DAMU. We both have young children (Franta and Žofka), which co-determines the rhythm in which we work together, both professionally and privately.
