Live art is a meaningful way of researching, challenging, and creating world. We exist as bodily creatures. That is why our interactions in space and time are such an important vehicle of art and research.
On these pages I write my thoughts on choreography. In each project I'm involved in, new aspects of the choreographic process surface.

Welcome to my blog!
I make dance performances, and I specifically target subjects that overlap with philosophical queries.
On these pages I write my thoughts on choreography. In each project I'm involved in, new aspects of the choreographic process surface.
Organizing these ponderings in blogs will hopefully help me in my work, as well as open new views on the actual performances for the audience members.
Also, I will publish and report on new and past projects.

Minna Harri Experience Set mission statement
Bodie's experience is the basis for Minna Harri's choreographic work.
She is inspired by the ongoing shift of paradigm where scientists and thinkers are starting to understand intellect, emotion, and somatics as inseparable from each other. This has powerful consequences to colonized bodies.
Minna produces work with ensembles under the name Experience Set. This provides opportunities to come together in the creative process and challenges professional performers and creators from different disciplines, cultures and generations.
