“Moving Barents 2020 – Out of Urgency” is especially dear to us as it breaks the limits of time and distance. We use choreography and technology to create an online interactive studio where artists from Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia dance on the margins of climate change.
Through movement and emotion they express the drama of Corona lockdowns, pollution and violations of human rights and basically freedom.
Ahead of the project´s work in progress sharing in TaikaBox studio on Pikisaari in Oulu, Finland, we have continued breaking the boundaries by mixing what can be put in words with something that goes between the lines. We have conducted interviews with the six independent dance artists about things that inspire them to dance within the “Moving Barents 2020”: fighting climate change, refugee crisis, sexism, racism, pandemic, depression, abandonment and isolation.
Please, celebrate the freedom and variety of artistic expression with us by meeting dance artists in Barents Henna Räsänen (Finland)
Maya Mi Samuelsen (Norway),
Susanna Voyushina (Russia),
Dmitry Melnikov (Russia),
Mikael Marklund (Sweden)
and Jenka Schinkler (Sweden).
Stay tuned!
