This dance performance that takes place on summer nights in July in urban yet natural surroundings in northeast Helsinki is built through team workshops and independent group work.

The main theme of Spell is the world-constructive effect of all human activity. Every action we take conjures up something new in the world. The body in motion shakes everything around it.


Participating this course requires committing to preparing the performance and an interest in working with the body, as well as dancing in a public space. The course and the performance are part of the Valokeilassa koillinen (Focus on the Northeast) art project, a collaboration of four organisations. The process is facilitated by Zodiak’s project artist Anna Koskela.

Participation does not require previous dance experience.
