Residency artists and researchers Dance Entinen TADaC09 Work group The workgroup is comprised of Miki Brunou, Rea-Liina Brunou, Raimonda Gudaviciute, Elina Häyrynen, Saara Junttila, Ahto Koskitalo, Elina Räisänen, and Jukka Tarvainen. Our still-to-be-renamed workgroup is comprised of Miki Brunou, Rea-Liina Brunou, Raimonda Gudaviciute, Elina Häyrynen, Saara Junttila, Ahto Koskitalo, Elina Räisänen, and Jukka Tarvainen. It contains seven recent dance graduates of Theatre Academy Helsinki and one sound designer. Our aim during the ten-day stay at Saari Residence was to complete the score for our new dance piece. The themes of the work are relationships of dependence, the borders between normal and compulsive behaviour, rituals, and the individual’s possibilities for action for his or her own benefit within the community. Our aim was also to investigate rituals as part of our culture, and their effects on individual behaviour. The next phase in developing the piece is developing the choreography that will accompany the score. Since the group members are dispersed throughout Finland and Europe, our next gathering is unlikely to take place before spring 2011. At that meeting we will plan the completion of the work over the late summer and autumn of 2011. The progress of the work can be followed on our blog at WWW.REALIINABRUNOU.BLOGSPOT.COM.
