In this episode we are taking you a bit back, to the Keha festival 2025 - where Timo talked to Signe Levä, an performing artist and dancer from Finland. They talked about her work HANDS, an intimate dance of hands, a concert of touch and friction, a wind from one skin to another. A salute, farewell, love and appreciation for her further disabling hands and fingers. It is a very intimate, touching performance which Signe describes: "In this piece I stimulate the sensorial experiences I practise, to someone else, to another body, as my hands can be on both sides of the person at the same time, providing sensory stimulation; airflow, sound, warmth. Visually arriving at one’s gaze from both sides of the field of vision. The travelling of stimming hands stimulates the senses, as the senses catch the sounds, air flowing, warmth, coming from different directions, at different intensities, drawing a map of where they are." This podcast is a part of One-to-One Art project, which has been awarded Creative Europe funding for the period 1 November 2023 – 30 April 2026. Project coordinator is ILME (Oulu, Finland) and partners in the project are the Gato Escaldado theatre group from Lisbon, Portugal, and the artist residency House of Klajn ran by House Collective from Klanjec, Croatia. Different ways of bringing one-on-one art to the public are developed in each country during the project.
