Artistic Collaboration Project (ACO)
The collaborative and multidisciplinary course between Theatre Academy and Aalto University has been organised since 1994.
About ACO
ACO project is biannually organized course. You will primarily work within the current framework of contemporary dance and performance, in multidisciplinary work groups and degree programmes, as well as within the framework offered by the Theatre Academy and Aalto University.
During an orientation course prior to ACO you will become acquainted with one another’s artistic projects and present your own artistic interests and references as a foundation for forming artistic work groups and promoting the artistic process. You also learn about theories of group dynamics to help you navigate the process. At the end of the orientation, you will form work groups for the collaboration.
The process leads to performances, that are presented for audiences in the facilities of Theatre Academy and Aalto ARTS (Kallio Stage). The performance period is usually at the end of the year, on November or December.
