Choreographer Eeva Juutinen’s stage work olO explores the rhythms of being. It is based on Juutinen’s year-and-a-half-long process of drying plants and flowers, which inspired her to investigate the vitality and mortality of the body. In the work, poetry connects illusion with the everyday, both in the theatre and in the body.
olO plays with the relationships between gestures and tensions on stage, both large and small. The work can be approached as a poem, a dance or a bodily experience. Dancers Terhi Hartikainen and Maria Mäkelä move through landscapes of intensity and intimacy. olO seeks to create space for the audience’s associations, experiences and reflections, inviting them to define and name themselves in different ways.
Eeva Juutinen is a choreographer and performer who has studied choreography and dance at Trinity Laban and The Place in London, in the P.A.R.T.S. Research Studios programme in Brussels and at Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy. Alongside movement practices, Juutinen’s choreographic tools include writing and breathing. Her interests include difference, intimacy, affect and intensity, as well as the relationships between the body and its environment. olO is Eeva Juutinen’s artistic thesis for the Master’s Programme in Choreography at Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy. It premiered in August 2021.
