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.
