The contemporary dance group Tanssiartesaani is seeking 2 young dance artists, aged 18-30, to participate in a 1 month residency project (28 January – 28 February 2024) in the small town of Loviisa, in the south of Finland.
The project, under the name In Flesh and Blood, is organised by the Art in Lov residency programme managed by the art association Stödföreningen för Lovisa Konst / Loviisan Taiteen Tukiyhdistys in collaboration with the local dance company Tanssiartesaani.
In Flesh and Blood will be a choreographic research that explores topics related to ages and the contraposition between young and old, active and passive, life and death. The final performance will be part of Winterdances Festival 2024 (25 February 2024).
The 2 dance artists will be involved in the creative process and in facilitating a few workshops for school children and/or for guests in the local Elderly Houses. Beniamino Borghi, founder of Tanssiartesaani, will be the choreographer and tutor of the project.
This residency project is funded under the Creative Europe programme. Applicants must be resident in one of the 40 Creative Europe countries, except Finland.
The residency will cover the travel expenses up to 700€. There will also be a daily allowance of 25€, for a maximum of 800€ for the entire period.
