Home Findings / A Dance Performance for Children
Synopsis:
Home Findings is a dance performance in which materials found in the performer’s own home are transformed into costumes, music, and movement. Characters unearthed from Ikea bags captivate the audience with their presence and draw them into a journey of movement that opens the imagination.
The performance is aimed specifically at families with children, but is also suitable for anyone seeking a touch of lightheartedness and creativity in their everyday lives. The performance is not participatory and does not require language skills. Communication takes place through movement and gibberish. Tsök!
Duration: max 30 min
Performer: Minna Kaaronen
Costume design and production: Minna Kaaronen
Sound design: Olli Lautiola
This work has been supported by the Arts Promotion Center Finland and the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
