A performance collectively planned during Public and Performance -course at Kankaanp\u00e4\u00e4 Art School. The piece was presented at the Glow Up<\/a> -performance club curated by Aeon Lux<\/strong> and Alan Bulfin<\/strong> for Kunsthalle Sein\u00e4joki. The event featured performance by Vishnu Vardhani Rajan<\/strong> and Tiia Kasurinen<\/strong>. Before the event we were welcomed by Pii Anttila<\/strong>, Sanna Karim\u00e4ki-Nuutinen<\/strong> and Kunsthalle Sein\u00e4joki staff.<\/p>\n

Artists in the group are Tonya Bj\u00f6rkbom<\/strong>, Julia Elo<\/strong>, Viola Jalaskoski<\/strong>, Uljas Kaitala<\/strong>, Anni-Maaria Lepp\u00e4nen<\/strong>, Sade Marila<\/strong>, Pinja Minkkinen<\/strong>, Piia Muurinaho<\/strong>, Ignacio P\u00e9rez P\u00e9rez<\/strong>, Sanna Svartstr\u00f6m<\/strong>, +1<\/strong> and myself. Tiia From<\/strong> & Onni Oja<\/strong>, who participated in the planning of the work could not attend. The performance was prepared during a two week intensive performance art course.<\/p>\n

During two weeks we wrote a collective study journal<\/a>, which shares lecture notes, drafts for the performance choreography & scores and other notes, general glimpses to discussions and exercises. Our performance, perhaps titled as \u201cYour Ancestor\u201d was an effort to transform a rock with the collective will of our group, bodies and by facilitating audience interactions with it.<\/p>\n
