For You
2020

Dancefilm For You

At the end of December 2020, Off/Balance and Panu Varstala released the video work For You, which was made to replace the canceled performance at Off/Balance’s 10th anniversary. The multi-art party script ordered from Varstala was supposed to be performed at the Time of Dance festival at the Sep/Dance20 club event.

In the piece For You, dance artists Ville Oinonen, Eleni Pierides, Jaakko Nieminen, Antti Lahti and Anni Rissanen dance based on Varstala’s assignment, their own memory of working with Off/Balance, and answer the question; what is important in your life at the moment and how does it resonate with your artistic activity?

You can watch the piece For You from the Vimeo account of Dance Company Off/Balance:

“Swifts don’t make these flights alone. They ascend as flocks every evening before singly drifting down, while in the morning they fly up alone and return to earth together. To orient themselves correctly, to make the right decisions, they need to pay attention not only to the cues of the world around them but also to one another.” – Helen Macdonald, Vesper Flights, 2020
