The piece was made close to the the Finnish parliamentary elections, to ask how one of the basis of the Finnish society’s welfare, social democracy, could be approached choreographically and in a performative manner. The piece is funnily sad or sadly funny in it’s tone. Our social democratic bodies is the first part in Maija Hirvanen’s performance series Operation]]> http://www.hirvanen.net/2011/09/our-social-democratic-bodies-2/?lang=en/feed/&lang=en 0 http://www.hirvanen.net/2011/09/on-ice-2/?lang=en http://www.hirvanen.net/2011/09/on-ice-2/?lang=en#comments Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:17:22 +0000 Maija http://localhost/hirvanen_sandbox/?p=426 NEW: ON ICE RE-MAKE 2012 AT KIASMA THEATRE, HELSINKI, APRIL 14TH-20TH 2012. On Ice is a portrait of a contemporary woman in a social democratic society. With humour, the performer of the work skates on the glassy surface of the search for identity, between attributions to and/or demands on femininity and humanity, as a cheerleader gone rogue.

Maija Hirvanen re-made a piece On Ice that was originally made for stage at ANTI festival 2010, Kuopio. The project returned to its site-based origins: initial versions of the piece were developed in situ at HIFK, the Helsinki Ice Hockey team’s stadium, where Maija worked with the team’s cheerleaders. The artist drew also on her own experience of]]> http://www.hirvanen.net/2011/09/on-ice-anti/?lang=en/feed/&lang=en 0
