Jump Cut is a six-part cable-access-style web series of streamed collaborations between multidisciplinary international artists. Conceived by Dana Gingras / Animals of Distinction as a way to survive and thrive in these times. Jump Cut is an opportunity to curate an unpredictable encounter between artists who are currently working in isolation. Each episode will feature a unique combination of artists to create a multi-disciplinary collaboration that will only be accessible as a unique online experience.
For Jump Cut #3, Multi media artist Austin Young brings together drag performance artists Alaska Thunderf***, Willam Belli and Laganja Estranja to form a triple deity. They are triple-voiced, triple-pointed and triple-faced. Together they playfully engage with themes of transformation and manifestation in a search for an authentic multiplicity.
