This workshop aims to provide a laboratory for people who wish to develop their live performances. This first edition is hosted by Satu and M, two artists who wonder “how can I translate my music to a live setting?” Maybe you have a similar question and want to experiment about it within a structured timeline and with peer support? 

Bring your own projects and questions to this teacherless-course! Each session 2-3 participants will present works in progress and have the opportunity to give and receive feedback. The finale will be a “real” performance (open to the public). 

When: Tuesdays from 18:00-19:30

(Mostly) biweekly from Sep 15th 2026 to Dec 15th 2026 

(dates: 15.9., 29.9., 13.10., 27.10., 10.11., 24.11., 8.12., 15.12.) 

Where: Toinen Kerros
