STREET DANCE / FREESTYLE – KAISA NIEMINEN

This year at the camp, my classes will dive into the experiential and intimate nature of dancing—exploring the questions that arise from it: ecstasy, sensitivity, aggression, the rawness of movement, and the charged tension of dancing together. We will dance to bass-heavy music, moving our own realities outward through the body. Classes will include both activating warm-ups and longer practices that invite you to deepen your own way of sensing dance and music.
My background is in street dance, especially hip hop and punking/whacking, and this strongly shapes my artistic practice and my relationship with embodied movement.
Kaisa Nieminen is a choreographer and dancer. She earned her Master’s degree in Choreography from the Hochschule für Schauspielkunst Ernst Busch (HZT Berlin) in 2019.
Kaisa is also part of the rap group Pimeä Hedelmä. In both the hip hop community and the field of contemporary dance, she continuously reflects on her own whiteness, the privileges it brings, and the questions of space and power in relation to Black and Brown cultures.
Currently, Kaisa is working on a solo piece premiering in autumn 2025. Her recent artistic works include:
  • Pimeä Hedelmä x Amanda & Lydia – the weight of being sexy
  • Kaisa Nieminen & Marika Peura – down below things shudder
  • Kemppainen, Nieminen, Peura – and then they left (2021)
  • Rutimo Collective – Lemons (2021)
  • a dark post-midsummer night’s dream (2021), created with Pimeä Hedelmä and queer art duo Amanda & Lydia.
