NEGOTIATION
NEGOTIATION
We are excited to premiere our new piece NEGOTIATION – a physical story told through dance, partnering, partner acrobatics and video projections. Only two shows, small audience size and limited tickets!
Negotiation is a circus and dance performance that embraces the complexity of being human. We negotiate the different layers of partnership – trust, intimacy, compromise and parenthood. Subtly questioning what is right and wrong, where you belong and where you don’t, how to relate, what you should feel and what not. Visually negotiation is a space where two physical humans and video projections of bodies intertwine.
“Every day we join, whether we want it or not. Every day we negotiate unspoken hopes, fears and bodily sensations, whether we want it or not.”
Negotiation was born in 2020 from the choreographer’s fascination with the two circus performers’ daily physical negotiation of fear and trust. On such a small surface like a handgrip these two bodies of very different dimensions work daily to find a common rhythm, a shared tempo, a focus and a power generation,dealing with the element of risk and working through that together. As years passed and both the idea and the movement material developed as the dancers relationship evolved and family grew, many layers of life have found their way into this deeply personal but widely relatable performance, which finally premiers on the last day of July 2026 in Valve, Oulu.

FIN
Negotiation syntyi koreografin kiinnostuksesta pariakrobaattien päivittäiseen fyysiseen dialogiin peloista ja luottamuksesta. Kuinka sirkustaiteilijapariskunta etsii väsymättä yhteistä, jaettua rytmiä ja tempoa ja uhmaavat riskiä työskennellen sen läpi yhdessä.
“Päivittäin kohdataan aika intensiivisellä tasolla ja jaetaan pelot, toiveet ja epävarmuudet, halusimme sitä tai emme.”
Negotiation on tanssi, -ja sirkusteos, joka haastaa minun tapani, sinun tapasi. Meidän rajamme, teidän rajanne. Mitä on sopivaa tuntea ja mitä ei. Teos hyväksyy muutoksen ja erimielisyydet, ihmisyyden kompleksisuuden. Visuaalisesti ja rytmisesti negotiation on tila, jossa kaksi fyysistä kehoa nivoutuu videoprojisoitujen kehojen joukkoon.
