For this new 55+ MOVERS workshop, discover the world of Ville Oinonen, a multidisciplinary Finnish artist exploring dance, performance, and photography. In this workshop, you will engage with the movement material from the performance The Days, focusing on sensitivity and body awareness, practiced both individually and with a partner. Simple physical tasks, gently guided, will allow participants to explore and discover new ways of moving.

Ville began The Days in 2017 in collaboration with artist Maria Nurmela and British choreographer Theo Clinkard. The Days offers an immersive experience for the audience, drawing spectators into a performance that explores resilience and the universal longing for human connection. This captivating journey unfolds between two performers, blending sincere and absurd exchanges.

Ville Oinonen has been working and performing as an independent artist in Finland and abroad for over thirteen years. His work spans various performance forms, from dance films to stage productions, such as The Doghill History of Finland at the Pori Theatre. Throughout his career, Oinonen has received grants from Taike – the Arts Promotion Centre Finland, the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation, and the Finnish Cultural Foundation in support of his artistic work.
