Sat 15.3. at 1.30 pm, Hällä Stage small space
Have you thought about how to make a dance performance or what a dancer needs to remember on tour before the performance.
During the 15 years of the journey of Dancing Moominvalley, the creators have accumulated quite a lot of memories, from Klovharu to Fukuoka and from San Diego to Shanghai. Welcome to meet the dancers of Dancing Moominvalley. Suvi Eloranta and Samuli Roininen recall the journey they made and tell how a long-lived little classic work came to be.
Discussion in Finnish.
STORYTIME with Suvi Eloranta
Sat 22.3. at 1.30 – 2 pm, Hällä Stage, small space
Tove Jansson’s collection of short stories The Invisible Child and other stories was published in 1962. The Invisible Child is one of Tove Jansson’s most beloved stories, and it has also inspired the creators of Dancing Moominvalley.
After reading and listening to the story, we will think about Ninnys story and its themes together. We thought about how Ninny dances when she gets angry and how Ninny expresses her feelings. Do we always dare to show our feelings? And how does the Moomin family manage to help Ninny.
Registration in advance liput@tanssiteatterimmd.fi. Reading time is included in the price of the admission ticket. The story and discussion is held in Finnish.

CROQUIS PERFORMANCE
Sat 6.9. at 6 pm, Hällä Stage
A croquis drawing (from the French word croquer ‘to draw quickly’) is a quick, usually less than ten minutes, sketch-like drawing in which a living model is drawn, focusing on the essential forms of the pose. Simple, relaxed pencil strokes aim to capture the essential, without focusing too much on small details. Croquis drawings can be made several times in a row when the model / object changes position.
This show is dedicated to croquis drawing. Whether you have been drawing for a long time or just started, you are welcome to join the audience with your own sketchbook and a pen. A fun way to experience a dance performance.
