Maija Nurmio: Dark Dances

A dance work for three bodies and the breath that connects people to all things in the universe.

Dark Dances studies choreographically, where breath routes in people. It concentrates on contradictions, both those absorbed from the outer world and those that reside in them, inherent darkness and exhales a dance deriving from it. 

What do people feel and hear when they listen to their or someone else’s breathing?
Who has room to breathe?

The performances are accompanied by open breathing workshops 1 hour prior the performances at Kiasma’s Seminar Room. The workshop includes to the ticket. The workshop is not held on April 11.
