The SPARKS programme is a new artistic development project funded by Finnish Culture Foundation and Dance House Helsinki to support artists in Finland who desire to create new large scale works. SPARKS enables six new productions which will be seen on stage at Dance House Helsinki in 2022–2023.

The SPARKS project for Erkko Hall aims to support experienced dancemakers who have a strong and recognised artistic practice. Finnish artists and artists based in Finland who are interested in creating a full length work for the large stage of the new Erkko Hall (venue seats up to 700 seats) are invited to apply for this programme which consists of 3 phases in a creation process: Research, Residency and Production. We welcome proposals coming from all dance practices and traditions with rigourous and contemporary approaches to performance.
