“embodied sharing and sitting in silence together.”

Maria Nurmela

“how to claim and hold the space but also not fix it”

Rhiannon Newton

Rhiannon Newton and Maria Nurmela met at the beach and got deep dredging through:

• working for yourself vs working for others
• defining/describing practise
• collaboration
• love
• somatic work
• body-mind centering
• we make each other up – dancemagazine.com.au/2018/09/becoming-entangled-in-rhiannon-newtons-we-make-each-other-up/
• transdisciplinary and international artistic team
• Renea Shadler
• embodiment
• studying music
• encouraging the audience to trust what they feel when watching dance
• scale of dancing
• age
• being female
• ruthlessness of the matriachy
• being empowered in your body
• dancing as sharing vs supernatural ability
• using the audience to make your work

“how ruthless the matriarchy can be sometimes”

Rhiannon Newton

“I love to compose the time space quality”

Mikä ihana matka – what a wonderful trip to Australia! Two weeks in Melbourne in Dance Massive, Sydney with a beautiful residency at the Critical Path following a performance and workshop of Susurrus at the Drill Hall within March Dance Festival and Critical Path. The last stop was in Brisbane and Supercell Festival! Susurrus, a new trandisciplinary performance project by me and dance maker Renae Shadler @renaeshadler, light Wizard Kalle Ropponen @kalleropponen and sound designer Samuel Hertz has brought us to an incredible and exciting journey since 2017! Thank you for these two weeks-the adventure continues! Thank you Critical Path, March Dance, Supercell Festival, Arts Promotion Center Finland, Wombat Radio and all the lovely people who I met during this amazing journey💥 and Yes… the Spring came to Helsinki while I was away .. #dancemassive2019 #susurrus #fromfinland #lifeisbeautiful #choreographer #susurrusonair #tanssiaturusta #ihaniakohtaanisia #australianart #finnishdanceinaustralia #drillhall #rushcuttersbay #rushcuttersbaysydney #supercelldancefestival
