One of the artists that Timo talked to at Keha Festival is Rebecca Evans from Pell Ensemble. They presented their piece Hinterlands, a one-to-one mixed reality headset experience on the speculative futures of human evolution. A dancer and a participant co-create a journey, where virtual layers move over the real world, and connections with yourself,  the other and the environment can change.Inspired by microorganisms called extremophiles that live on the edge of habitability, in some of earth’s most inhospitable environments, Hinterlands is a mixed reality headset experience on the speculative futures of human evolution. Movement, spatial sound and mixed reality create a space that unfolds differently for you and the dancers. Through an invitation to move, you will explore our entanglement with the natural and digital world and possibilities for surviving, evolving and becoming.This podcast is a part of One-to-One Art project, which has been awarded Creative Europe funding for the period 1 November 2023 – 30 September 2026.Project coordinator is ILME (Oulu, Finland) and partners in the project are the Gato Escaldado theatre group from Lisbon, Portugal, and the artist residency House of Klajn ran by House Collective from Klanjec, Croatia.

In this episode we are taking you a bit back, to the Keha festival 2025 - where Timo talked to Signe Levä, an performing artist and dancer from Finland. They talked about her work HANDS, an intimate dance of hands, a concert of touch and friction, a wind from one skin to another. A salute, farewell, love and appreciation for her further disabling hands and fingers.It is a very intimate, touching performance which Signe describes: "In this piece I stimulate the sensorial experiences I practise, to someone else, to another body, as my hands can be on both sides of the person at the same time, providing sensory stimulation; airflow, sound, warmth. Visually arriving at one’s gaze from both sides of the field of vision. The travelling of stimming hands stimulates the senses, as the senses catch the sounds, air flowing, warmth, coming from different directions, at different intensities, drawing a map of where they are."This podcast is a part of One-to-One Art project, which has been awarded Creative Europe funding for the period 1 November 2023 – 30 September 2026.Project coordinator is ILME (Oulu, Finland) and partners in the project are the Gato Escaldado theatre group from Lisbon, Portugal, and the artist residency House of Klajn ran by House Collective from Klanjec, Croatia.

In the second episode of our One-To-One Podcast we are talking with Lena Giuliano, an artist from Brasil/Argentina who was a part of One-To-One Project.Lena's statement about the piece:The artwork “Writing On Someone's Grave” is part of a personal research project in which I try to investigate the intersections between writing and performativity on stage, in academia and in words. What is it like to write on stage? How do you find the desired writing in the scene? The process of creation also involves the psychophysical procedures for entering the scene and preparing the body and mind for writing. Not only activating the mind, but also understanding how else the body should be worked with in this context. The work was conceived in São Paulo, Brazil, and developed during House of Klajn artistic residency in Klanjec, Croatia. With this interest in exploring language, I thought of a theme that could reach all people, of all nationalities, ages and genders. Of course, the subject of death came up. There are some people who need to think more about death, others who need to think less. But somehow, everyone thinks about it often. Death is the mystery, the unknown, the fear.This podcast is a part of One-to-One Art project, which has been awarded Creative Europe funding for the period 1 November 2023 – 30 September 2026.Project coordinator is ILME (Oulu, Finland) and partners in the project are the Gato Escaldado theatre group from Lisbon, Portugal, and the artist residency House of Klajn ran by House Collective from Klanjec, Croatia.
