Jana Orlová (born 1986 in Czechoslovakia [now Czech Republic]) is a Prague-based performance artist, poet, and researcher. Orlová received her Ph.D. from the Department of Theory at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague at the end of 2021. Her dissertation focused on the difference between visual performance and theatre, and she also analyzed the question of the content and use of the term performance. Orlová has been involved in performance and borderline art forms in her critical and curatorial practice. She is currently a teacher at Silesian University and she is exploring the experimental possibilities of documenting performance and the ways of exhibiting this documentation. She also publishes her studies abroad. Jana Orlová has released three collections of poetry in the Czech Republic and five abroad, her poems have been translated into several more languages, for example also into Chinese, Arabic, or Hindi. She has taken part in many performance art events over Europe, also in Canada, and the US. In her practice, performance art is living poetry, and she perceives her body as a field of event, working with ritualistic and holistic approaches. Her work is marked by a combination of a minimalistic form and a raw statement. In 2017, she was praised by Next Wave Festival as one “who challenges the borders between literature, visual art, and theatre with a natural lightness.”
