Introduction
Creative Dialogue brings together young composers, string players, choreographers and dancers from around the world at Dance House Helsinki. In the final performance, the audience will experience new encounters between music and dance, improvisations and collaboratively created works developed during a ten-day workshop.
Since 2007, Creative Dialogue has brought young composers and performers together in an intensive, international working environment. At its core are listening, reciprocity and a shared search for new forms of expression. In 2026, Creative Dialogue takes a step into the worlds of dance and choreography for the first time. Music and movement meet side by side, in resistance and response — listening to, challenging and deepening one another.
Welcome to Dance House Helsinki to experience the results of a many-layered artistic dialogue.
