Narcisa cast in Christmas spirits. Original photo by Ali Kesanto As DanceWorks Helsinki approaches the end of its first full working year, we find ourselves reflecting on a season that has been intense, busy, and wonderfully fruitful. We have brought new contemporary ballet works to the stage, collaborated with inspiring artists, reached new audiences, and taken part in a range of events across the Helsinki region. Here is a look back at everything we have created and shared
DanceWorks Helsinki partnered with Mieli – Mental Health Finland during Mental Health Art Week to explore the connection between dance and well-being. Through the premiere of Narcisa and shared reflections on movement, vulnerability, and self-acceptance, we highlight how dance supports mental health by fostering emotional expression, community, and resilience.
