SpaceP_EBody aka Flocking around the theme of kinesthetic empathy

Contemporary dance company Liisa Pentti +Co organises the event SpaceP_EBody aka Flocking around the theme of kinesthetic empathy in Helsinki on 15.–18.3.2023. The event dives into various experiences of body-based empathy and kinesthesia. SpaceP_EBody brings together different perspectives on how kinesthetic empathy can be conveyed through dance, and what forms it takes as dance. Indeed: is empathy always a positive thing?

The event includes presentations, a workshop, discussions, reflections, history, and a documentary film. SpaceP_EBody is a multi-directional network of informal events in the post- pandemic era.

In addition to Cirko, events also take place at Performance Arts Centre Eskus and Liisa Pentti +Co Studio. The event is supported by Exportförderung Land NRW and Finnland-Institut in Deutschland / TelepArt Mobility Support.
