Julia E. Dyck & Dian: t.r.a.n.c.e.
t.r.a.n.c.e. is an ongoing collaborative project by hypnotherapist and artist Julia E. Dyck and sound artist Diana Duta, exploring the hypnotic trance state as a collective, transformative experience. To mark the release of their debut record on the BBJTC label, they present a special live community hypnosis performance at GAK Bremen. This autumn-inspired session invites participants into a shared journey of rebirth, return, and reset—through layered soundscapes, poetic storytelling, and guided meditation that opens space for somatic, sensory, and subconscious exploration.
Dian is a Brussels-based artist working with sound in hypnotic ways, with a background in art and socio-cultural linguistics. Her work focuses on concepts of mimesis and reiteration within the linguistic and the biosemiotic worlds, on embodied listening and how non-humans communicate. She makes works for radio, installations and experimental music as DIAN and is part of the t.r.a.n.c.e. community hypnosis project. In 2019, she founded Jambes, a recording studio commissioning new work by artists experimenting with sound and voice.
Julia E. Dyck is an artist and hypnotist. Her relational and speculative practice explores the possible connections between the body, (sub)consciousness & technology through performance, composition, installation and transmission. Trained as a hypnotherapist, Julia creates experiences of collective transformation and somnambulism with a focus on the sonic.
