Movement and Emptiness is a performance thought, discussed, danced, performed and written by Ami Karvonen, Kid Kokko and Anna Mustonen, which has a sense of wonder and a sense of ordinariness.

By the ocean, you don’t think about shape,” Agnes Martin points out

Movement and Emptiness is a performance thought, discussed, danced, performed and written by Ami Karvonen, Kid Kokko and Anna Mustonen together. The performance includes a light installation by Meri Ekola.

The performance situates itself in the areas of empty, spacious, twilight, spacious, small, grids, caverns, deserts, starry nightly skies, ein, exhaustion, omission, farewells and exits. It feels the feeling of refusal, the vastness of the space that opens up from it. It looks at the areas between the lines, the space outside the focus. A landscape emerges in which you can fit.

The performance has a sense of wonder and a sense of ordinariness.

Movement and emptinessMovement and emptiness is a performance co-thought, co-discussed, co-danced and co-written by Ami Karvonen, Kid Kokko and Anna Mustonen that has the feeling of the miraculous and the ordinary.

You wouldn’t think of form by the ocean, Agnes Martin remarks

Movement and emptiness is a performance co-thought, co-discussed, co-danced and co-written by Ami Karvonen, Kid Kokko and Anna Mustonen. The performance includes light art by Meri Ekola.

The performance settles in the areas of empty, spacious, dim, loose, minor, grids, cavities, deserts, starry night skies, no, exhaustion, omitting, goodbyes and exits. It senses the feel of refusal, the extent of the space that it unfolds. It looks at the areas that remain between the lines, the space outside of focus. A fitting landscape appears.

The performance has the feel of the miraculous and the ordinary.
