Invitation to Dance by Anna Fält, Emma Fält (SE/FIN) and Andrea Manciati (ITA/FIN) is a mesmerizing performance, an intimate ceremony, an invitation to calm down or let loose together. The performers create an improvisational soundscape that combines archaic and electronic music, experimental use of voice, and rhythms and traces created by different materials. Invitation to Dance consists of moments of listening, drawing, and body movements that are independent, separate, and influence one another. The work was born out of the human need to come together, create, play, and perhaps inspire others to dance.
Anna Fält is a singer, composer, and singing teacher who works in the performing arts and experimental and folk music.
Emma Fält is a multidisciplinary artist who works with drawing, installation, sound, performing arts, and participatory practices.
Andrea Mancianti is a composer, performer, and sound artist who is mainly dedicated to experimental sound art.
