Residency artists and researchers Dance Ulla Koivisto Choreographer During my period of residence at Saari I worked on my dance installation Hurmiollisessa tilassa (State of Trance) with two dancers. The work was premiered in Zodiak in Helsinki on 7 October 2010. At the Saari Residence I also worked on adapting my earlier piece Kraft (Power) for fourteen dancers instead of the original seven. I my work I explore the maximal use of physicality and energy in movement in nature, and how the flow of energy through the limbs transforms the visible surface of the body. Cooperation across different artistic fields is something that is very close to my heart, and for that reason working with the other artists at the Saari Residence was an extremely valuable and inspiring experience.
