Welcome to an open workshop for everyone interested in exploring social and physical connections through artistic exercises. Sign up here.

We will explore ways of relating to the earth and land underneath our bodies through special artistic scores. We will work with exercises that enhance social and physical connections to ourselves, others and the companions within our environment.

The workshop consists of a short introduction, guided exercises and playful sharing of experiences and thoughts. Expect spring vibes, magic of the moment and renewed ideas.

The workshop is facilitated by artists Maija Hirvanen and Tatu Nenonen. Hirvanen and Nenonen are currently working with a choreographic performance work Hum that will premiere at ANTI Festival 2024.

You are warmly welcome to join!
