LIVING ROOM Screening
with Juha Penttilä
LIVING ROOM is an 8-minute dance art film emerging from a process-based artistic project by Georgie Goater and Juha Penttilä, researched and developed in 2021. The work explores the animacy of domestic space, fluid temporalities, and the body along a spectrum of ‘living things’ in relation, through dance, video, and embodied meditative practice.
The work has been reimagined in the editing suite, honouring the process of emergence as it came to completion in 2025.
Public Premiere: Helsinki / Online 2026, TBC
The artistic development was supported by Taike and Samuel Huber (2021).
