VanDance - festival brings a diverse program of dance, circus, dance films and a K18 extension club to Myyrmäki, Vantaa. The program includes bold works, surprises and art that moves the body.
VanDance program will feature Mamia Company’s premiere Piirtyä Hiljalleen at Art Museum ARTSI, Wilma-Emilia Kuosa’s Shoes and Liisa Pentti+ CO’s Tästä!.
Dance artist Janne Aspvik’s Liminal Spaces examines the tension between rush and presence in liminal spaces and the performance will be experienced twice during the day.
Improvisation lovers will be delighted by Myrskyryhmä’s Impro & Plié and the Välissä group’s long-form perorfmance Juoksuhiekkaa. Dance artist Arttu Peltoniemi’s Ruuhitanssi is based on archaeological research into Stone Age dance – the performance will be accompanied by violinist and ethnomusicologist Tuomas Rounakari.
Circus artists Teemu Skön and Rauli Dahlberg will bring their new performance to the festival; Controlled Chaos, which combines acrobatics, balancing and the control of sharp objects. The Let’s Die performance is a poetic, physical duet about death by Elisa Lejeune and Siiri Kortelainen – a topic that touches everyone.
The dance film screening at Kino Myyri will include the internationally awarded Cold Storage by Thomas Freundlich and Valtteri Raekallio.
The festival culminates in the K18 extension club in Skenesali, where the Shadow Room ry’s Shadow Concert Body collides body art and experimental soundscapes, as well as black metal, contemporary dance and media art.
