Thomas Freundlich(Link to another website.) and Valtteri Raekallio(Link to another website.) are among the new generation of contemporary dance artists in Finland with awards, grants and acclaim at home and around the world.

They journey to the end of the earth, in order to dance in the polar wilderness of Svalbard(Link to another website.), Norwary.  En route, they explore our ideas of the Arctic, along with the grand questions of life and art. Forward is a unique and engaging journey to a place where few have been – and even fewer have danced.
