SUMMARY:San Francisco Arts Festival Premiers Estonian Finnish Artist Anneli Kanninen
DESCRIPTION:Date(s) & Time(s):Sat May 10\, 2:30pm\, Sun May 11\, 6:00pmDuration: 30 minsShared bill with: Algiin total duration 70 mins \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProduction Details \n\n\n\nHOMEingHOMEing is a personal exploration of what it means to grow roots in a new place. Arriving in a new country\, culture and a language\, how does one start building home\, while remembering what has been left behind? Through the lenses of different languages and contemporary dance\, this work-in-progress performance researches the sensory and cultural experiences of home\, connection\, and how generations respond to uprooting. \n\n\n\n“With this performance\, I want to honor all the mothers who didn’t have the chance to get a sufficient education and worked their entire lives to put their children through school so that they could get more opportunities in life.” \n\n\n\nIn FinnishHOMEing on tutkimus kodista ja kuulumisen tunteesta eri kielten ja nykytanssin kautta esitettynä. Miten rakentaa uusi koti ja mitä jää taakse\, kun muuttaa uuteen maahan ja kulttuuriin? \n\n\n\n”Tämän teoksen kautta haluan kunnioittaa kaikkia niitä äitejä\, jotka eivät saaneet tilaisuutta riittävään koulutukseen\, ja työskentelivät koko elämänsä\, jotta seuraava sukupolvi saisi enemmän tilaisuuksia elämässä.” \n\n\n\nIn EstonianHOMEing on kodu ja kuuluvustunde uurimise lavastus läbi erinevate keelte ja moderntantsu prisma. Kuidas alustada uue kodu rajamist saabudes teise riiki\, keele ja kultuurilise keskkonda? \n\n\n\n“Selle lavastusega tahan austada kõiki emasid\, kellel ei olnud võimalust omandada piisavat haridust ja kes töötasid terve elu selle nimel\, et oma lapsed koolis käiksid\, et järgmine põlvkond saaks elus rohkem võimalusi.” \n\n\n\nArtist BiographiesAnneli KanninenAnneli is a multidisciplinary artist working in the intersections of dance\, theater and languages with a focus on themes of home and belonging.
