ABOUT THE GROUPS:
Bunch of Scrumps
Bunch of Scrumps is a collective of artists (Maja Kalafatić, Jacqueline Aylward and Jesse Ojajärvi) making experimental dance and music performance pieces. In this group the work is primarily made by the performers with the intention of exploring what artistic knowledge can emerge from this position. Scrumps work non-hierarchically, interdisciplinarily and with a sense of fun. The collective works both to hold individual perspective, skills and identities and also to collapse them into one being. Scrumps formed in Helsinki in 2023 with its core members coming from Finland, Australia and Serbia/Slovenia and is now internationally active.
“The Prequel: phase 1”
This project is the continuation of the Bunch of Scrumps Collective’s previous projects. The objective of the artistic work is the creation of a history for existing performances. Like prequels found in novels or in the cinema it operates as the backstory while also containing its own drama. Some key words and ideas for “The Prequel”: reverse-dance, the dance before the dance, lifting the drumsticks, foreshadowing, pseudo-origins, the dance that you forgot you knew and disturbed nostalgia. This work will be developed and shared in different versions (phases) across Finland, Serbia and Slovenia in 2024/5.
UPDATE: Ines Kakkonen will perform as Maja for these events
This work is supported by: Helsinki City, Koneen Säätiö and Culture Moves Europe

HUE Ensemble
HUE Ensemble invites the audience to listen with their eyes, see with their ears and feel sound through movement. Their practice is an exploration in sound and visual art, through graphic scores and interactive sound sculptures that come alive during their performances.
This collective is constantly searching for new ways to improvise. HUE Ensemble consist of five musicians, but they expand their expression towards the interdisciplinary. HUE is an immersive, multi-sensory experience that breaks the boundaries between different art forms.
