TIERRA/CURA vol. II (eng. soil/care) is a dance performance about the body's relationship with soil and care. In the performance, various material, sound and movement elements create a space that invites you to spend time with care, imagination and landscapes.

The multi-year TIERRA/CURA project is inspired by Maria Puig de la Bellacasa's book Matters of Care: Speculative Ethics in More-than-human worlds and the way it proposes to see being in contact with the soil as a future-oriented practice of care.

Short film screenings

For the 4th consecutive year, the Mill of Performing Arts festival organises the special section MPArt.OS (Mill of Performing Arts on Screen) with a series of short film screenings that reflect the contemporary, global trends in the hybrid genre of cinema and performing arts.

Following an international call to which 153 filmmakers from 34 countries from all continents responded, 30 short films that bring the performing arts to the screen were selected.

This year, for the fourth time, the festival will award selected films with the “Editors’ Choice” and “Audience Choice” distinction. The films being selected to compete in each category will be screened from Saturday 21 to Monday 23 September at “Barbis Vozalis” open air cinema in the Mill of Pappas.

FUR FUR [KARDO SHIWAN, FINLAND, 2023]

In a dreamlike forest, a man conjures up the memory of his late parents, chasing joyful moments now permanently out of reach, as he copes with his grief. Without leaning into the tragedy, Fur Fur gives a pastel tint to the melancholy of trying to reach a long-gone happiness, while the image remains as sharp as his main character’s pain. The brilliance of Kardo Shiwan’s writing and directing is as beautiful and reassuring as it is heartbreaking.

Opetan TREenit Ry! aamutunteja Tampereella:

Wilhelminan tunneilla tutkimme pehmeyttä ja vahvuutta liikkeessä. Tunneilla harjoitamme erilaisia tapoja liikkua lattialla, spiraalissa, ja tilassa, suhteessa itseen, muihin ihmisiin ja ympäröivään maailmaan. Työskentelemme lattiatekniikkaharjoitteiden, tehtävälähtöisen improvisaation ja koreografisen materiaalin parissa. Tunneillaan Wilhelmina kannustaa tutkimaan liikettä uteliaasti ja omaa kehoa kuunnellen. Tunti sopii esittävän taiteen ammattilaisille ja opiskelijoille.

Kardo Shiwan and working group’s FUR FUR short film can be seen this week Outsider Art Festival movie screenings from 15.8.-18.8.2024 at Kino Caisa. Free entrance.
