11 days of festival is a wild ride – gathering so many people together in these times – creating spaces around performing arts to come together feels very special, crucial, important – like a large bowl of Soup with many ingredients that are added to create a whole festival.
Thank you for the shared time. Thank you for your overwhelming presence at this year’s Moving in November. Thank you for your precious feedback, your enthusiasm, your laughter, and all the vivid conversations.
It was a pleasure to see full theatres – you were so many to enjoy the performances, the workshops, the Soup Talks and the after-soups in the foyer – familiar faces, colleagues, friends and new visitors from close and far to the festival.
This year’s program presented again artist from abroad and from Helsinki. For now, a warm and big thank you to the artist and their lovely working groups, that presented their performances during this year’s festival! Namely: Michael Turinsky, Antonia Atarah, Julia Giertz & Marie Topp, Liisa Pentti +Co, Mean Time Between Failures: Dash Che & Suvi Tuominen & Oula Rytkönen, Sanna Kekäläinen & Kari Hukkila & Heli Keskikallio, Cherish Menzo, Lucía García Pullés, Adam Kinner & Christopher Willes, Rébecca Chaillon & Sandra Calderan, Elina Pirinen & Tom Rejström & Jenni Elina von Bagh, Alina Sakko & Reality Research Center, Ewa Dziarnowska, Emmi Max Pennanen & Sonjis Laine, Soa Ratsifandrihana, Karolina Kucia, Anna Kozonina, Bianca Hisse & Laura Cemin and also a warm thank you to the hosts of Soup Talks and participants in the Soup Talk Panel for the conversation: Riina Hannuksela, Ghyslaine Gau, Patricia Scalco, Janne Saarakkala, Vishnu Vardhani Rajan, Elias Girod, Tangmo Ladapha Sophonkunkit & Olga Spyropoulou, Lin Martikainen & Lätsä (Lauri Antti Mattila) and Esete Sutinen, Simo Kellokumpu, Benjamin Pholig, Eeva Muilu, Laura Linna, Maia Means, Martyna Grinevskė, Miklós Ambrózy, Torunn Helene Ronstad.
