A fleeting moment: a mumble starts to arise. I feel it in my flesh. My body starts to lean, forgetting its verticality. The mumble gets louder, it has different rhythms, textures, and colors. I find myself in the midst of lively worlding where different things steer and call me with their haptic signaling. “I” becomes blurry and porous, forgetting the world of words. This could be called a landscape… where the “I” is leaning away from itself. Where different materials and beings and their somatic effectivities mingle and intertwine with each other.
A sudden desire to disappear into the landscape.

I see a human body extending into a lump. I see a human body extending into a wire of a sort. I see a human body extending to concrete. I see extensions of pipes as limbs, tiny sheer balls hatching under plant-like fingers. I see familiar places forming into unfamiliar, sensorial world making taking listening vibrating feeling sounding taking place. I see hybrids of matter and human, matuman? Soft, hard, opening heart.

A ray of guilt is pinching me. Have I been doing enough to explore what I wanted to explore? Are there aspects of this that I have been completely ignorant to in the past year? A warm purple feeling slowly begins to spread from my belly: six people and a lot of textile in one space investigating the geometries and units of power that surround their bodies. Spaces of simultaneity. A world shaping entirely around artistic interests and desires (hick ups of pride really), still hidden for those I have been secretly thinking with. I wish they come by soon.
Worldmaking and Contemporaneity – 40 years of higher education in Dance and Choreography
This bilingual publication (Finnish/English) collects and extends traces of a seminar that took place October 23rd at the Theatre Academy (Teak) University of the Arts Helsinki. The seminar was held on the occasion of Teak´s 40th anniversary of higher art education in dance and choreography. Seminar focus was on worldmaking and contemporaneity in dance and choreography in higher art education.
The publication aims at opening the potential for dialogue and conversation about dance and choreography pedagogy in higher art education with a local and international body of readers. Hence the publication may be seen as an opportunity for conversation about dance and choreography training in higher art education beyond the day of the festivity of the 40th anniversary.
