Sketch Evening
The Draft Night offers a space for sharing unfinished performance experiments and drafts. The goal of the evening is to spark discussion and collaborative thinking about artistic practice, rehearsal, and the experience of performances. Artists and participants meet as equals during the evening, and their dialogue supports the artists’ creative processes. The dialogue will be facilitated by Sonjis Laine and Emmi Max Pennanen.
Signing up for the Draft Night is easy. The most important thing is a desire to share artwork drafts, artistic ideas, or unfinished thoughts. At each event, three artists present their work and invite the other participants to join in a group discussion.
The event is produced in collaboration with RRC, Mad House, and Tero Saarinen Company.
