The special theme for the November 2026 Open Office is organizing tours in Finland. The Open Office will take place in the foyer of Dance House Helsinki at the Cable Factory on Thursday, 19 November, from 13:00 to 17:00.
Sharing their experiences on the day’s theme will be Wilhelm Blomberg and Liisa Ruuskanen. The discussion, starting at 15:00, will take place in Finnish.
