Ailish Maher: All This Silent Space

The dance performance takes place in the exhibition space Vintti, Välitila-exhibition on Sat 1st of October at 11.30 am. The performance is included in the price of the admission ticket.

The dance piece All This Silent Space deals with loneliness and social distancing. The solo work explores the importance and impact of touch, social interaction, and how missing this affects our bodies. How can we rebuild the connection with ourselves and others by activating our body and senses.

Irish-Finnish dance artist Ailish Maher has lived in Vaasa since 2019. She graduated from The Scottish School of Contemporary Dance in 2014 and since then she has worked extensively with several choreographers and groups, both as a performer and in creative work, and has also taught internationally. In her artistic work, Ailish is interested in forms of collaboration that draw on and explore emotional and physical communication between the body, movement and performance.

The Regional Dance Centre of Ostrobothnia is organising the tour in cooperation with the galleries and art spaces in the area. The tour brings high-quality and accessible dance art for art and culture lovers.
