WELCOME!

Hello, and welcome to Moving Human Diaries!

My aim with MHD is to give a "behind the scenes" - glimpse into my work. I believe that moving can be thinking, and this blog can hopefully show what the thought process behind making new movement can be in my particular case.

Many times in these videos you can see movement in its unfinished, unpolished form. You can see "mistakes". But also, if we are lucky, sometimes you can see a new idea at its freshest.

Like the videos (at least for the most part), I´d like this blog to be informal, so feel free to comment or write your own thoughts/ideas as well!

Tervetuloa Moving Human Diaries blogiin!

Uskon, että liikkuminen voi olla ajattelua. MHD:ssa haluan näyttää millainen ajatusprosessi uuden liikkeen (tai uuden teoksen) tekeminen voi olla. Sen takia videoista ei ole siivottu keskeneräisyyksiä tai "virheitä".

Haluan, että tämä on epämuodollinen, matalan kynnyksen blogi. Kaikki kommentit ja ajatukset otan ilolla vastaan!

Episode 6

Click Vimeo - logo to watch it there in HD for better quality.

A very short clip filmed in Barcelona mainly to test the new Canon 7d.
As the gear is new to me, there are losses of focus etc. Still learning/testing.

Episode 5

This session was one of those occasions, when you feel that nothing worthfile was being explored. While dancing, the movement felt boring, unimaginative and lame. I also felt I was dancing sooo badly.

Then, reviewing the clips I was surprised that there was something useful there after all. Quite enough actually. Just goes to show, once again, that the immediate feeling is not always the same as how it portrays to the outside.

These sessions are still very much free improvisation, without any concious focus towards anything particular. Later it´s time for that.

This time something a little different from the improvisations of the earlier videos. We´re rehearsing a piece of mine - "What do you see when you see this?" for a gig in Tampere, Finland. There´s footage from the actual performance of the piece from march 2008. The piece was seen 24.4.2009 in Hällä - stage in Tampere, Finland as part of the Tanssivirtaa - dance festival.
