◯ MIKA (TAKAISIN) [to premiere 2023, Finland and Portugal] 16. 04. 2022, Helsinki. We had our 1st open rehearsal of TAKAISIN. At Friskis&Svettis´ studio 20 people came to see and celebrate the first 40 minutes of choreographic & narrative creation. It went Glorious! Thank you so much for sharing the inspiration x
December 2017 - January 2018 I started to write MIKA (now TAKAISIN) in a remote island in the Archipelago sea while in residency working on concepts such as remoteness, marginality and the isolation of the body in the Arctic landscape. Pan Sonic & Mika Vainio’s music were very much present during my time alone on the island. Their sound is a dream to work at: cinematic, noir, unless anything else. And Konstellaatio sounds particularly personal; a life path, a narrative journey of intimacy + disruptiveness per se. I started to explore that journey on the body: outdoors in full darkness, the animal body, guided by senses other than the sight, creating from memory with space and geography. The same afterwards in Helsinki, - as Konstellaatio provokes that disruptiveness in space + sound, a different dramatic arc: of an urban and metallic atmosphere; more mysterious movements of the body: tense, noir, between the human and the animal. (....) On the last day of 2020, in a last day of auditions, Krista Arppo and I met. Karoliina Loimaala joined a month after, beginning of 2021. Soon we could slowly start to materialize it across Finnish geography <3 TAKAISIN is a 3-act dispositiv for film and stage. More about it in the future.

Just finished making and installing a November full moon altar at @pesulafiskars for their local artists November show. November is Marraskuu in Finnish which means Death Month. So obviously.... I love it. This altar offers a poem on handmade paper I made, which ends in a question for answers as offerings to be placed in the handmade Coptic journal beside it. I made the ceramic covers, experimenting with embedding tree bark in the cover. There's a Polaroid of my current muse, a dead tree in my village, in today's twilight full moon taken by @sannimaria The objects were all found on walks in the forest here, and include a partial bird's wing with feathers attached, part of a wasp's nest, a slag stone from when ironworks still operated in the village, a small bird bone, and two iridescent blue beetles. This work is supported by the time I have to experiment and practice because of a @taikegram Corona emergency arts grant. #poetry #installation #bookart #handmadepaper #ceramics #bookartist #boricuaartist #taike #goth #marraskuu #taide #languagearts #textbasedart (at Cafe Bar Pesula Fiskars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWd3J1eICLw/?utm_medium=tumblr
