Summer residency 2024

Liisa Pentti +Co offers a residency programme in the company’s studio in Helsinki for dance and performance artists and working groups working in Finland and abroad. The residency period is June-July 2024. The aim of the residency programme is to offer a peaceful working space for research or for working towards a future production. During the residency, it is possible to present a work-in-progress showing or a small event at the studio, but this is not expected.

The 2024 application has closed.

Six artists/groups were selected for this year's residency:

Sonja Aaltonen
Marjukka Savolainen
Miro Puranen
Jenni Kivelä

Summer Residency Programme

In 2020, Liisa Pentti +Co started a Summer residency programme in their studio for dance and performance groups and artists working either in Finland or internationally. The aim of the residency is to provide artists and groups a peaceful working space for e.g. research or working towards a future production. At the end of their residency period, the artists have an opportunity to arrange a work-in-progress type of performance or event.
