Post-performance discussion 21.5.

There are permanent things like a cat, stone and christmas tree, and then there are things that change.

Jenni Kivelä's new group work Last Laugh deals with entertainment, enjoyment, achievement, surrender, quitting, stand up comedy, people who are at a totally wrong place/time/situation. World's smallest performance about world's biggest things. Scales.

Choreographer Jenni Kivelä's works combine movement, text and theatre, thus creating multidimensional dance theatre. Her works have been described as naivistic, kind, humoristic, ironic, perspicacious, conceptual, entertaining, sincere, delicate, layered and audience-friendly. Humanity and recognisability are typical for her works.

Kind People is a group of artistic designers and dancer-choreographers formede around the works of Kivelä. Numerous co-operations have included Zodiak performances Red-Letter Days (2003), Ylva-lii and other stories (2004), Master Detectives (2005) and House of Mrs Wilson (2007).

JENNI KIVELÄ graduated as a choreographer 2002 from the Theatre Academy of Helsinki, Department of Dance. Since then, she has worked as a freelance choreographer with Kind People and created commissions for e.g. Helsinki Dance Company, Mobita Dansco and Transitions Dance Company in England. Kivelä was Zodiak's house-choreographer 2004–06. In 2007–08 she worked as artistic director of TADaC.
