Hutiklubi (Tanssiryhmä Off/Balance)
Wanna see a ridiculous dance solo? Or three political snakes dancing? In Hutiklubi you get to decide the frames for the scenes. Just yell out your deepest wishes to the four dancers and a musician, and see it come dancing true!
Hutiklubi combines contemporary dance, theatre improvisation and music improvisation. The performance consists of short dance scenes that are created with the audience who provides themes, styles and qualities for the performers. Thus the audience gets to influence the continuum of the show. The piece has already mesmerized thousands of spectators around Finland. Hutiklubi is Off/Balance’s most performed piece and it has been seen in theater spaces, at several domestic dance festivals, outdoor events and school tours already more than 80 times.
“The end result is far more interesting than any performances I’ve seen from theatre impro companies’ in recent years. – – – The concept has become rather popular and no wonder.” NEWSPAPER HELSINGIN SANOMAT
