Emma Heinonen Only Bad Timings

The solo dance piece Only Bad Timings delves into the bodily experiences of voluntary childlessness. The work expresses the struggle between belonging and not belonging.

The solo dance piece Only Bad Timings delves into the bodily experiences of voluntary childlessness. The work expresses the struggle between belonging and not belonging.
