This year, as part of the Focus on the Local Landscape and in collaboration with Tanssille ry, we are offering two opportunities to engage with international artists and dive deeper into their work: MANUAL, a workshop by Adam Kinner & Christopher Willes and Performing intimacy, a workshop by Rébecca Chaillon.
Additionally, we are excited, that Audience Club by Anna Kozonina returns to Moving in November.
Tanssille ry Workshops: Adam Kinner & Christopher Willes and Rébecca Chaillon
MANUAL workshop by Adam Kinner & Christopher Willes
Stoa, Turunlinnantie, 00900 Helsinki
8.11. at 13.00–16.00
In the workshop by Adam Kinner and Christopher Willes, participants will be introduced to the content and artistic strategies of MANUAL, a one-on one performance that turns a public library into a space of sensory encounter and heightened awareness. Led by the Montreal-based artists Kinner and Willes, the day will involve working in pairs, taking turns devising and experiencing one-on-one guided performance proposals related to the piece. These quiet, experimental exercises draw on somatic practices and on the specific materials of the library: its sounds, books, and spaces.

Performing intimacy workshop by Rébecca Chaillon
Eskus, Kaasutehtaankatu 1/33, 00540 Helsinki
10.11. at 14.00–17.00
In Rébecca Chaillon’s workshop, writing is approached through the personal. Participants work with listographies of oneself and with mapping one’s feelings and commitments. The workshop draws on the realities of participants’ own bodies and lives, using the intimate as a means to engage with the world. As a continuation of working together, participants write an individual or group play.

Audience Club by Anna Kozonina returns to Moving in November
Moving in November and Anna Kozonina invite art lovers, theatregoers, and dance professionals to join the Audience Club–a space to deepen your engagement with contemporary dance and performance.
Want to discuss shows, share reactions, meet artists, and find a community to explore contemporary dance and performance with? The Audience Club offers vocabulary, frameworks, and lively discussions to help you articulate your thoughts and bounce back ideas in a safe but bold space.
What is the Audience Club?
Audience Club is a guided group of up to 15 people, led by dance researcher Anna Kozonina. The group will watch festival performances together, explore dance theories through mini-lectures and other educational formats, and discuss pieces in fun, engaging, and meaningful ways. The Audience Club helps participants connect dance and performance to questions of personal and social life while building confidence in expressing their perspectives.
The Audience Club welcomes dance, theatre and art lovers of all ages over 18 years old. Artists, culture professionals as well as people with no previous background in performing arts can take part on equal terms. The course is created individually for the festival’s programme and takes into consideration the unique group composition.
2025 Audience Club Theme: Signs, Vibes, and Turning Points–How We Make Sense of Dance
This year’s festival features a bold mix of performances–ideal for exploring how dance creates meaning. Together, we’ll unpack movement, symbolism, and emotion: from clear gestures to hidden vibes, from cultural identities to raw physical expression. We’ll see how different dance styles collide, analyze creative choices, and discover how dance dramaturgies shape time, space, and the very landscape of interpretation.
How to take part?
To sign up for the Audience Club, please fill in the Google Form 12th of October, 2025. You will receive instructions by email after registration, how to book and secure your spot.
See you soon at Moving in November!
