Productions

Shout (Huuto), 2008/1984 chor. Jorma Uotinen, 45 min. Shout is a demanding and desolate portrait of a man alone in his room with his memories of a woman. Mikko Lampinen is the dancer in this austere work. The visual world of the stage is complemented by the masterful lighting work. Uotinen got his inspiration for this work from paintings by the Austrian artist Egon Schile.

Three face grace, 2009 chor. Jarkko Mandelin, 30 min.Three face grace has a magical hold and it is an abstract piece of dance work for three women and one man. Tense scenes inside the work are touching and human. The intensive music by Ketil Björnstad and David Darling together with movement paints contradictorily more beautiful world.

Välistäveto/ Draft from the border, 2009, chor. Marjo Kuusela, 25 min. Välistäveto is a dance between the border of reality and play. Music and movement are as a game board. But dancers are in earnest.

Repertory

The main emphasis in the P.D.C. repertoire is on contemporary dance production but works of highly acclaimed international jazzdance choreographers can be found in the repertoire. 2-3 premieres are shown annually.
