ACO – ARTIS­TIC COL­LAB­O­RA­TION

ACO is a mini festival of five works, four venues and five evenings combining eight degree programs.

ACO is a movement-oriented artistic collaboration project involving students from the Master of Arts degree programmes in Dramaturgy, Choreography, Lighting Design, Sound Design, Scenography, Costume Design, Dance Performance and the Bachelor of Arts programme in Dance. Choreographer-led team work, studying artistic collaboration, limited rehearsal time and limiting the duration of the work challenge students to act creatively and responsibly in intensive collaboration. ACO is a co-operation course between the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki and Aalto ARTS.
