Open Call: Milla Koistinen “One Next To Me”

We are looking for non-professional performers to join the team of 9 professional dancers (see right).

The rehearsals will take place in Berlin between 8th/9th of June, 31st of October–3rd of November of 2022 and performances on the 4th–6th of November 2022 in Uferstudios in Wedding. Exact hours and rehearsal place will be confirmed.

“One Next To Me” focuses on the relation and proximity between tenderness and violence. The creation is a study about these states; the shift from one to another, their manifestation in our movements and the transmission of tenderness and violence from one body to the other. It examines the choice between the two states and what steers us in making these decisions. The project investigates the contagiousness of physical behaviour. It outlines questions of resistance and subordination while attempting to bring to the forefront an inside view of what happens when we interact with other people. The team will explore how actions taken by an individual are embodied when supported by a larger group.

“One Next To Me” will be performed by 9 professional dancers and 7–9 non-professionals.  The performers are a mixed group of children, teenagers, adults and elderly people.
