Sari Palmgren

I am a choreographer and dancer. My most recent solo work was Connective patterns at the Zodiak Center for New Dance in 2008.

Currently I’m working on a solo project to be called Animal motion, which will premiere at the Zodiak Center in April of 2010. I am also working on the script for a dance film entitled Connective patterns. For the project we have been filming the everyday lives of dancers in the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Greece, Estonia and here in Finland. I’m now going through the material we’ve got and we’re about to commence editing with the workgroup.

At Saari I began work on my solo project Animal Motion. I worked daily on the movements and with the source material. During my stay the piece went through many rehearsals, also with the other Saari residents as spectators. Consequently the layout is now good for continuing the development of the project with a workgroup.

In addition I continued work on the manuscript for a dance film to be called Connective Patterns and went through various materials for the piece. I also put to the finishing touches to a previously filmed work called U.N.I. (You and I).
