Who is Taneli Törmä? What DANCE ALL YEAR LONG try to achieve?
Taneli Törmä - project leader and curator, is an international dance artist working in Odense. Taneli has been working and living in Odense for the past 6 years. Odense has offered Taneli a great deal of possibilities although working as an individual artist - but being based outside of Copenhagen - has also proven to be somewhat challenging at times.
Summer 2017 Taneli has therefore changed his base to Copenhagen in order to establish a stronger network in the Danish dance scene. He has chosen to do so with the desire to continue to actively participate in the development of the Odense cultural life. At the moment there are no professional dance scene in Odense that would be active full time. Taneli believes that this project would function as a big inspiration for the cultural life of Odense and the whole of Denmark!
DANCE ALL YEAR LONG also bring professional Danish dance artists and international artists to the city and to create collaborations between the local and the guest artists. Thereby expanding the possibilities for dance in Odense and offering a unique experience for all the artists involved. It will offer the audience a chance to experience how their city would look and feel like with DANCE ALL YEAR LONG.
