UPCOMING UP
Exercise Festival:
Peace Tripit! -workshop
Wednesday 10.6. at 5-8 pm at Suvilahti Square
(Kaasutehtaankatu 1, Helsinki)
In the legendary TRIPIT! – Exercise Festival we’ll be preparing for Peace! The Festival is held as a workshop where we make collective corporeal movements, “Acts of Peace” outside in Suvilahti square. The acts are accompanied and the atmosphere is enhanced by live brass orchestra.
How does peace look and feel like? Acts of Peace are simple actions and tasks done together. The movements broaden our perceptions of peaceful coexistence between people, its forms and possibilities. Peace does not come about simply by being calm or doing nothing. It must be invented over and over again, alone and together.
The workshop is held by Other Spaces -collective’s artists Eeva Kemppi, Esa Kirkkopelto, Anu Nirkko ja Tanja Turtola. The music is performed by Otto Eskelinen and Taneli Viitahuhta.

The language of the workshop is Finnish and English.
Duration is 3h with a break.

At the TRIPIT! exercise festival we perform some of our trippiest exercises together with the audience.
Since 2004 Other Spaces has invented a large amount of collective corporeal transformation exercises. These exercises are a means to come into contact with non-human forms, entities and phenomena. They are an enjoyable way to be liberated from the human shape and identity, at least momentarily.
The first TRIPIT! Festival was organised in May 2017. Spurred by the enthusiastic reception, in 2018 and 2019 we organised TRIPIT! twice each year, and the festival has become an important part of our yearly operations. TRIPIT! is a day long event, where you can come and go at any time.
In 2020 TRIPIT! was organized remotely via Facebook and Zoom.
Are you interested in joining the Other Spaces collective? TRIPIT is the place to be! At the exercise festival you can try out the exercises and practices of the group and meet our members.
