Due to the COVID-19 virus we are forced to isolate. Through this project we are trying to find a way to stay in contact and to express our feelings of what is happening around us through movement. We are offering an online appointment to dance the virus away for a fleeting moment.
The session has a simple structure where we take turns in mirroring each other's movement and in witnessing each other’s dance. During Side Step Festival 2021, the sessions will feature as dancers – in addition to the creators of the concept Angela Aldebs and Kati Raatikainen – Akim Bakhtaoui, Samuli Emery, Karolina Ginman, Elina Hauta-aho, Kati Korosuo, Vera Nevanlinna, Kardo Shiwan and Virva Talonen.
How to participate
The sessions are meant for people of all ages: children can participate with a parent/grown-up. The meeting platform is Zoom. The maximum length of one session is 30 minutes.
Each ticket buyer will be sent an individual link. Please remember to fill in your email adress when buying a tickets.
If you have any questions, please contact producer Elina Ruoho-Kurola / Zodiak.
Concept
The concept was born as a part of the Valokeilassa koillinen art project during the spring of 2020. The project is actualized by two performance artists Angela Aldebs and Kati Raatikainen.
Angela worked as an artist through the association Artists at Risk in AR-Safe Haven Helsinki in 2020. The residency was implemented in collaboration with the Finnish National Theater and Zodiak.
Kati is a Helsinki based choreographer working in the Valokeilassa Koillinen project in Zodiak, interested in the variety of possibilities within the performance art.
