Tero Saarinen
Techinique and repertoire workshop

July 24-27

9 – 11.30 am

Ikosen koulu

Teachers Tero Saarinen and Sini Länsivuori

Course fee: 200€ includes a ticket to Tero Saarinen performance WESTWARD HO!, WAVELENGTHS, HUNT on July 28 at 6 pm.

Tero Saarinen’s workshop on his technique and repertoire focuses on developing basic technique. The goal is to promote the dancers’ ability to use balance and off-balance to their advantage by recognising body weight and sensitising extremes of the body.

The workshop also focuses on recognising and making use of previously learned knowledge with the aim of finding, liberating and developing the dancer’s own capacity.

The participants will also become familiarised with Saarinen’s personal movement language through his choreographies. Saarinen’s movement language has been described as e.g. “ an inventive blend of beauty and the grotesque”, and “butoh with wings”. Apart from Tero Saarinen, the course will also be taught by his company’s longstanding dancer-repetitor Sini Länsivuori.

The course is aimed at all professionals who are interested in Saarinen’s movement technique. The course will be taught in English.

Sanna Myllylahti
Contemporary Dance -course

July 26-28
9.30 – 11.30 am
Pohdin talo

Course Fee 80 €
Language Suomi / English

 The class starts with exercises on the floor, developing slowly from the center of the body towards the extremities. The exercises focus in finding the relationships and interaction of different body parts through spiralling/reaching/folding movements based among others principles of release technique. Gradually the work developes into establishing safe and effective strategies of moving into and out of the floor. Attention is given specially to the use of hands while moving on the floor. With strong dynamic movement through space, the aim of the class is to find a natural, economic and organic sense of movement. This is achieved by learning how to use gravity and centrifugal force to benefit movement, rather than fighting against the laws of nature. The last part of the class consists of movement phrases, in which the earlier introduced principles can be revisited and explored further.
