WHAT IS PEKKA SAARIKORPI RHYTHM & MOVEMENT:
Pekka Saarikorpi´s Rytmi & Liike - Rhythm & Movement is essentially a practical concept which emphasizes music and art as experience. As practical arts, music, dance and teaching need to be done. Therefore, Saarikorpi emphasizes the process of group learning, the power of group experience and every participants’ individual bodily action and bodily knowing – the holistic and kinesthetic learning processes. In Saarikorpi’s workshops students are exploring the relation of rhythm and movement, and music making overall, through their bodies.
