STF 2026: Rūta Ronja Pakalne & Laura Gorodko (EE/LV) „Freedom to Lose Control Together with the Many
Advertisement
Rūta Ronja Pakalne & Laura Gorodko (EE/LV) lavastus „Freedom to Lose Control Together with the Many“ toimub Sõltumatu Tantsu Festivali / STF 2026 raames. Etendusele järgneb festivali lõpupidu.
„Freedom to lose control together with the many“ on kaasahaarav lavastus, milles publik kutsutakse looma ning olema osa turvalisest ja kaasavast ruumist konkreetsel ajahetkel ja kohas. Etendus on kui mitteametlik tantsupidu/meditatiivne reivisessioon, mis põhineb utoopilisel ideel ideaalsest ühiskonnast. Kõik on kutsutud alistuma rütmilisele elektroonilisele muusikale ja kaotama üheskoos kontrolli.
Publikuliikmetel on võimalus valida, kuidas on kõige mugavam etendusest osa võtta – olla aktiivne osaleja, vaatleja või vahetada rolli vastavalt soovile. Loodav ruum annab publikule võimaluse olla osa survevabast keskkonnast, järgida tantsijate juhiseid ja teha ise otsuseid.
Rūta Ronja Pakalne on Eestis resideeruv Eesti-Läti vabakutseline tantsu- ja filmikunstnik. Tema interdistsiplinaarne praktika hõlmab koreograafiat, etenduskunsti, filmitegemist ja õpetamist, uurides keha, kohalolu ja igapäeva kogemusi.
Ta on lõpetanud bakalaureuse Läti Kultuuriakadeemias koreograafia erialal, läbinud täiendkoolituse Brüsseli kaasaegse tantsu koolis P.A.R.T.S. ja omandanud magistrikraadi Tallinna Ülikooli Balti filmi, meedia ja kunstide instituudis filmikunstis. Alates 2019. aastast on ta õppejõud Tallinna Ülikooli Balti filmi, meedia ja kunstide instituudis ning õpetab ka Tallinna Muusika- ja Balletikoolis MUBA ning ETA Tantsukoolis. Ta on jaganud oma praktikaid ja andnud loenguid erinevates koolides üle Baltikumi.
Tema hiljutiste projektide hulka kuuluvad tantsulavastus „The Space Between Us Is Not Empty“ (2025), koostöös Laura Kvelsteiniga loodud kehamälu uurib teos „Body of Dreams“ (2023) ning koostöös Laura Gorodkoga loodud teos „Freedom to Lose Control Together with the Many“, mis vaatleb lähemalt kaasavat meditatiivset reivilikku etenduskeskkonda (2023). Ta on loonud eksperimentaalseid tantsufilme, mis keskenduvad liikumisele ja keha kaudu lugude jutustamisele. Tema kõige hiljutisem loodud linateos on tantsu-arhitektuurifilm „H61“ (2024), mis on osa Leedu Tantsuinfokeskuse ja ARTE Channeli projektist „Dance+City“.
Laura Gorodko on Riias elav kaasaegse tantsu kunstnik. Ta on Läti Koreograafide Assotsiatsiooni juhatuse liige ja tantsukollektiivi LDM5 liige. 2018. aastal lõpetas ta bakalaureuse Läti Kultuuriakadeemia kaasaegse tantsukunsti erialal. Ta töötab vabakutselise koreograafi, tantsija ja liikumisõpetajana.
Laural on esinemiskogemus kaasaegses tantsus, tsirkuses ja transdistsiplinaarsetes etenduskunstides. Ta on viimased kaks aastat teinud kaasa kohaspetsiifilises lavastustes „Laika Nospiedumi“. Esinejana on ta osalenud ka tantsukollektiivi LDM5 kaasaegse tantsu lavastuses „FEMINA“.

Rūta Ronja Pakalne & Laura Gorodko (EE/LV) performance „Freedom to Lose Control Together with the Many“ takes place during STF 2026. The performance is followed by the festival closing party.
Freedom to Lose Control Together With the Many is an immersive performance experience in which we invite you to create and be part of a safe and inclusive space together in the given time and place. An informal dance party/meditative rave performance that is based on utopian ideas about the perfect society. Everyone is invited to surrender to rhythmic electronic music and to lose control together with the many.
Audience members have a chance to choose what kind of participation they feel the most comfortable with (active participant, observed or switch whenever they feel like it). A space that gives the audience a possibility to be part of a non pressure environment, by following the guidance of the performers and making decisions for themselves.
