The workshop given by Sonja Jokiniemi explores language in relation to objects, materials and experientiality. It opens up lacunas of something non-definable and builds situations where notions are redefined. Sense exploration is used as an instrument for mapping new kinds of connections to the environment and its materialities. The objective is to create multi-layered processes where meanings are generated through the individuality of each participant. Workshop activities consist of movement, sense, writing and object exercises done alone and in pairs. The workshop is suitable for everyone interested in objects, language and movement and the connections between them. It focuses on the themes of Sonja Jokiniemi's upcoming performance Blab, which premieres in Zodiak in November 2017.
Sonja Jokiniemi is a performance artist and choreographer who works with object ecologies, language, thinking and neuro- and psychodiversity across various forms of art. She is interested in subjective inner worlds that open wider socio-political structures.
Sonja Jokiniemi’s background is in contemporary dance, choreography and performing arts. She is also a self-studied visual artist. She has studied in the DAS Theatre – Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam and in the Laban Centre in London, and participated in an artist residence arranged by the Daghdha Dance Company in 2008–2009.
