Coming together from the edges of the world. The meeting of three countries and three youth dance companies in the unique milieu of Tasmania. The goal of this project was to provide a platform for young dancers to explore issues important to them and their community. Stompin Company hosted this dance adventure on the East Coast of Tasmania for the visiting dancers from Finland and Denmark. Alongside Stompin Company the participants were immersed in a camp style program of dance classes and choreographic development with focus on cultural exchange and sitespecific movement and choreography. We hope that this project will be the start of a continued exchange and long-lasting dance network.

Hurja Piruetti will be starting circus classes in September in Karjaa.
Groups will be divided by age groups, starting from the age of 4. In circus classes we will get to know the basics of acrobatics and the different elements and equipment of circus. We will also focus on the essential coordination, strength and flexibility training. Circus and acrobatics classes support other dance styles, too, increasing body control via coordination and balance training, as well as contributing to improving mobility, flexibility and expression. The first circus class takes place on Tuesday 3rd September 2019. Welcome to the circus!
Hurja Piruetti (FI) and Dansbryggeriet´s (DK) young dancers have created a dance production Static Equilibrium with choreographer Mette Overgaard. Piece was originally created to Young Movers Nordic Circus and Dance Youth Festival Stockholm in August 2018. The dance production accepted also to Australian Youth Dance Festival. In that production will be seven dancers from Finland and two from Denmark. The festival will take place at Melbourne 7.-12th July 2019.
Co-operation with Dansbryggeriet started already 2 years ago with the project called Dans-elfie Crisscross in The North. During 1-year long "Northern reach" project dancers from Iceland, Denmark and Finland created a piece called Encounters. Premier was at Edinburg Culture Center Iceland 12th may 2018. You can also see the clip about our project in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaYr7qwpFUs
"Encounters is a documentary short film, giving a glimpse of a collaboration between three Nordic countries. The project behind the film - titled “Dans-elfie” - first began almost one year ago. During the course of the project, Finnish, Danish and Icelandic youth have gathered three times in three countries, exploring three themes: Encounters, Touch, and Friendship. Based on these themes, a 30-minute piece was created and performed on the 12th of May in Edinburg Culture Center, Iceland."
We are excited to announce our facilitators for AYDF 2019:
Gerard Van Dyck (KAGE), Isabella Stone (Co3 Youth Ensemble, Tasdance), Katja Köngäs (Hurja Piruetti, Finland) and Daniel Riley (Ilbijerri Theatre Company).
More to be announced, watch this space!
Five days of moving, creating, sharing and learning.
