Finnish Circus & Dance in Focus magazine presents a curated look at notable artists, works, and emerging phenomena in Finnish circus and dance. The 2026 edition is now available online and in print.
Art is often like a mirror. Reflecting, weighing, and commenting on the phenomena of the society surrounding it. Yet, the influence may just as well work in the opposite direction. Art is the domain that offers us the tools to see differently – to deconstruct dusty thought patterns and lay the groundwork for something new.
In the fresh issue of Finnish Circus & Dance in Focus, we explore the roles of diversity and otherness in the performing arts of Finland from multiple angles.
The featured artists and groups include, among others: Jyrki Karttunen, Tiia Kasurinen, Alen Nsambu, Karita Tikka, Teo Ala-Ruona, Hanna Moisala, Kalle Lehto, Mira Rawald, Elina Pirinen, Susanna Leinonen, Jenni Kallo, Jarkko Partanen, Kate&Pasi and the punk band Muovipussi.
In addition, our topics include Helsinki International Ballet Competition, Oulu – European Capital of Culture, the circus exhibition Amaze! at the Theatre Museum in Helsinki, and Sorin Sirkus.
Finnish Circus & Dance in Focus magazine is published once a year and handed out in international events where Circus & Dance Finland is present. The magazine is available for free on our website.
