The exercises of the workshop can be carried out independently, in pairs or small groups, and do not require any earlier experience in dance or performing arts. The workshop suits well artists, who are interested in theoretical and philosophical discussions related to place-based embodied practices, as well as researchers, who are interested in artistic research methods and inspired by urban spaces in transition.
Time: Wed 19.11.2025 11–13
Meeting point: Lielahti Manor, by the main entrance, Tehdaskartanonkatu 38, Tampere
The workshop is free of charge.
We will move outside in different parts of the area under construction in Hiedanranta. Please bring weather-appropriate equipment. There is a toilet in Lielahti Manor, as well as kitchen in our use. If you wish, you can stay for a coffee and lunch with the working group after the workshop, please bring your own food. You can register for the workshop or ask for more information: paikantujat@gmail.com. You can also arrive without registering.
Workshop is part of a project, where we develop embodied methods that help people working in and visiting Hiedanranta to live as part of the drastic transition of urban space. Through physical activity, we practice creating a relationship with places and develop our agency in the space. Workshop belongs to a series of participatory events to co-develop our methods.
