Paavali Velinpoika Kärkkäinen is dance artist who is fascinated by the different sensitivities that makes the body move. He is highly inspired by the positions of statues and the aesthetics they bring into the movement language. The moving bodies in a landscape working as medias for different immersive realities is in the focus point of his choreographic processes. ​

Kärkkäinen finds it important to create working processes, where multidisciplinary fields gets a platform to work and influence each other.

​The positive and affirmative atmosphere is the source of all good.

 Based between Helsinki, Finland / Copenhagen, Denmark.
