Connectoria – Uniting Cultures and Generations

At Connectoria, stories from different cultures are shared through changing themes. Connectoria gatheres once a month during the autumn at the Stage in Iso Omena Library. These events are known for their exceptionally warm atmosphere, where new connections and friendships are formed across cultural and age boundaries. 23 October Hope Lives Here Hope is more than wishing for a better tomorrow. It is found in the things we choose to build, the people we encourage, the opportunities we create, and the small steps we take even when the future is uncertain. We invite you to pause and reflect. What has kept you going? What are you dreaming of? What would you love to see change in your life and in the communities we share? This is a space for our stories, our ideas, our aspirations, and our belief that a better future is possible when we make room for one another. Hope is not just something we carry within us. It is something we can create together. 27 November, 18 December, Welcome to join us! #helloespoo

Will Funk For Food: A Fistful of Funk

One of the most prestigious street dance groups in Finland, Will Funk For Food (WFFF), brings to Kanneltalo Finland’s first full-length performance based on the street dance style locking. The work is inspired by the hypermasculinity and toxic machismo of western films and the genre's cavalcade of characters. A Fistful of Funk revolves around locking from which it begins to weave connections to the world of contemporary dance theatre. The performance dives head-first into one of the main elements of locking dance: character. Ultimately, character is the distinctive feature that separates dancers from each other and contributes to the uniqueness of their individual styles. The group seeks to dismantle the masculinity familiar from westerns and explore what masculinity and masculine encounters can be instead. In addition to exploring the themes of friendship and brotherhood, the performance uses the western setting as a platform for playful street dance duels, known as battles in street dance culture. Locking, which was originally danced to funk music, was created by African Americans living on the West Coast of the United States in the 1970s. Locking is characterised by precise, sharp pauses and acrobatic tricks, combined with the grooving 'party steps' of the West Coast social dances. In addition to locking, the performance utilises the movement language of contemporary dance, physical theatre, and clown techniques. The aim is to create an adventurous, narrative stage where each performer’s originality and uniqueness feed each other. Will Funk For Food, founded in 2008, is one of the most internationally successful street dance groups in Finland specialised in locking. WFFF is making locking known in Finland and aims to establish street dance as part of the Finnish cultural scene and bring joy to all ages. The dance group has won three consecutive Finnish Championships and performed internationally in Japan, France, and Sweden. The stage will feature Will Funk For Food's Akim Bakhtaoui, Wilhelm Blomberg, Jeffrey Kam, Teemu Kullberg and Sami Pajari, as well as sound designer and musician Sebastian Kurtén, and drummer Elias Ojutkangas.
