GATHERING OF SPACES

Gathering of spaces

performance projects by students from Dance Partnership

In this evening, we present six different creative spaces that seek to identify artistic and pedagogical potentials in the dance field. Our participants are brave volunteers from all type of backgrounds that agreed to take a leap into the unknown space of what is an artistic research.

It is also searching for common ground.
It is also about the multiplicity of dance definition.
It is also a manifold of identities.
It is also an expression of the diversity defining our group. 
It is also a fusion of our own rules and those of the institution.
It is also sharing creative universes.

You are warmly invited to experience the intersection of our encounters.

Admission will be on a first come, first served basis. No ticket booking necessary.

Up
Sharp

Up
Sharp is a gathering of short tableaus that play with blurring the lines between the body and its environment and the body as an environment. In the studio we found potential in the combination of physical pressure and imagination as tools for research, which we then used to make our material. The presentation is a glimpse of the potential that exists within this research.

Our Pattern

There is a 31-year-old daughter and a 65-year-old father on stage. They have 17 years of living under the same roof, 14 under different roofs. The other is a professional dancer, the other is a retired social worker. One nurtured the other once. One is going to nurture the other someday. In this time and space, they are standing on their own feet. Searching their common pattern.

Work is a co-creation of Helmi and Antti Järvensivu

My Superficial Self

What I like about dance

Everyone looks so much more beautiful when they’re dancing. Maybe it is because there’s this feeling of unity, it brings people together.

Or maybe because every movement is related to your mood and emotions and through breathing, you can get rid of bad things and can fill yourself with good feelings.

It gets your heart-rate going, but it is also difficult. Sometimes the body knows how it wants to move but you can’t turn off your brain, you want to be able to explore all the space, but you keep dancing in lines or circles. There are so many choices. You can dance rhythmically to the music, or not, you can make a statement, get people engaged, or not.

But I sleep better in the night after dancing, and I’ve started noticing that a lot of the movements I do at work is dancing.

It is beautiful.

Let your boring self die

A wish to create a milieu to look at things as if they could be otherwise. A process of investigating the sensory body interacting with the world around it.

How perception can reshape our understanding by using the imagination. How does our imagination change our body shapes? And by means our interaction with the world? Can we re- shape our embodiment by manipulating reality with the imagination?

We sense, we perceive, we fantasise, we re-shape.
