Otto Akkanen


About masterclass: We concentrate on taking weight. How we can make it more easier to ourselves? How we can find the strength of our structure, so we don't need so much muscle work (although we always need it a bit)? How when can deliver the support of the earth through our body up to our partner and still keep listening? How to guide up and also guide down? With all these questions I hope we find some answers to and from our bodies.
About Otto Akkanen: Otto is. He is not always sure why he is, but being is evindent. In his youth he studied socialwork, but by meeting some lovely people he got to know the form called contact improvisation. He got pretty exited and with the encouragement by some of these people, he went to study dance. After graduating he has worked a bit in a few dance pieces and is now busy of organizing Skiing On Skin contact festival along with others of Helsinki CI community.
