STILL / DANCING / BODY
A dance is never just a dance.
There is always more behind everything if we dare to dig deeper. We cannot not separate the dance, the choreography, the performer and her background from what is happening in the world at the moment. All the decision we make, our actions and our words have an impact on what the world will be like. Still / Dancing / Body performance is in that sense a statement about why Taneli Törmä and Birgitte Skands -and many dance artists - have no other choice than to create art and speak their full voices. Returning to the sacred body - our living archive where we keep all our emotion and thoughts which are the essential foundation of the ethics of beings.
