Residency artists and researchers Dance Pauliina Hulkko & workgroup Preparation of a dance performance entitled “Pavlova’s Experiment” At the Saari Residence, director Pauliina Hulkko and her workgroup – dancer Veli Lehtovaara, musician Jone Takamäki, sound designer Mia Erlin, and lighting designer Liisa Kyrönseppä – rehearsed a dance piece provisionally titled Pavlovan koe (Pavlova’s Experiment). The workgroup explores different ways to articulate and embody what music and motion produces in the observations and perceptions of each individual person. The starting points for the piece are the concept of choreophony, the artful design and balance of sound; Anna Pavolva’s historical dance persona; and deeply meditative music played on the Japanese hochiku and shakuhachi flutes.
