About



Spaceparticles # 10  is the last performance in the Spaceparticles-trilogy (2012-13) by Liisa Pentti & Co. It is based on Terry Rileys legendary minimalistic composition In C from 1964. In this final part the dancing merges with live music played by the NYKY Ensemble of the Sibelius Academy.

In Spaceparticles # 10 the dancers fuse with the music: each dancer becomes an instrument playing Riley’s composition in their own personal way. The physicality of the dancers, the rhythms and the space merge to create a trance-like experience which embraces the audience.
