Outi Condit is an actor and performance maker as well as a doctoral fellow in the Performing Arts Research Centre, University of Arts Helsinki. Outi’s research travels from theatre to technology in order to dig into the politics of staged bodies and bodies as stages, opening up absented presences and glitched embodiments in the process.

Petros Konnaris is working between the fields of live art, participatory art, and dance. His performances are a meeting between people to share and to explore states like taking care of each other, gentleness, coming together, and issues of nakedness, intimacy, and playfulness. He graduated from the MA level degree in Live Arts and Performance Studies program in Theater Academy of UniArts Helsinki.

Gesa Piper is a German dance-artist and -pedagogue, based in Finland since 2011 and active as a performer, teacher and choreographer nationally and internationally. Her interests lie within the field of the multiplicity of the human existence in its social and environmental context. Her artistic work seeks to investigate those through means of physical expression, embodied contemplative inquiry and dialogue.
