3,2,1 (THE WALK), 2023
3,2,1 (The Walk) is a dance piece interested in exploring the mutual possibilites of dance, fashion and modern clothing design.
It is inspired by the characteristics and rhythm of the fashion shows and the fashion aesthetics. The upcycled costume design and it's materials has been influencing the choreographic work from the beginning challenging the ordinary ways to feature costume design in dance works. The outfits designed by Angel Emmanuel for the piece are made from recycled materials. Their textiles, weight, thickness and size add their own dimension to the dancers' movement."
Following an accelerating energy the work invites the audience to reflect on the multidimensional topic.
3,2,1 (The Walk) premiered as part of Amos Rex´ s "Generation 2023" exhibition in May, 2023.

ILONA, 2023
ILONA is a character exploring It´ s own identity trough internet-realities. Starting it´s life from the Instagram-platform it reaches out, finally expanding to real life adjusting itself to be seen live.
The solo work is divided into two. The first part, a visual diary of ILONA following the character´s development can be found on Instagram @ilonawho. It includes 14 Instagram length videos made by using the dance-a-day method. In the second part audience is witnessing ILONA outside the cyber reality. Who is it and how does it act in the real world of humans?
The solo performance seen live
uses the movement material of the visual diary
and acts as an extension of it. The audience is
invited to explore the differences of witnessing
dance in a social media platform versus in the
present moment.
ILONA was premiered in April 2023 in Helsinki and it was the artistic final solo work from TeaK.
