Forest Embrace
Embrace turns into Forest Embrace in the soundscape of the urban nearby forest. Dance and woodwind instruments blend into one in a small-scale study about art in the embrace of a forest, born in the moment.

Auraco’s Päivi Aura is visiting Seoul, South Korea, as a guest choreographer. The performance workshop Owl Forest, Little Pond, Leaf Boat is a co-production with Leaf Boat Theatre Company, Goyang Children’s Museum and Auraco. This performance workshop and showcase for babies and their caregivers is based on a cappella music, improvisational movement, and storytelling. Owl Forest, Little Pond, Leaf Boat is directed by Hye Jin Bae. The performance workshops are on 13 and 14 Oct 2025, at the Goyang Children’s Museum.
Our activity continues with workshops for babies and a new dance performance Embrace that premieres on 18 Nov 2024.
We didn’t receive any operational subsidy this year from Arts Promotion Centre Finland. It means that our budget for this year is about 75% smaller than last year, and many of our planned activities cannot take place. We are still processing this and replanning everything. We are working on this and figuring out how to proceed further.
