Ecstatic Dance and workshop with Mikko Heikinpoika (FIN)

On 12 December Taiji Club offers a special music and sound journey where voice, rhythm, improvisation and free movement come together.

We welcome the Finnish musician, vocalist, producer and one of the driving forces of Ecstatic Dance culture, Mikko Heikinpoika, who brings two unique experiences: a workshop exploring the world of voice and collective creation, and a powerful ecstatic dance evening.

The day invites you to discover yourself through sound and movement, let go of expectations and let music carry you.

15:00–18:00 WORKSHOP

OCEAN OF SOUND: a journey of voice, rhythm and collective creation

What happens when we let go of the idea that we must sing correctly, and simply allow ourselves to make sound?

Ocean of Sound is a playful, immersive journey into the endless possibilities of the human voice. Through guided exercises, vocal exploration, movement, listening and group improvisation, we discover how music arises from within us and between us. We explore the connection between breath, voice and body, experiment with different sounds and rhythms, and experience how individual voices can merge into one living ocean of sound.

Sometimes playful and energetic, sometimes gentle and meditative, the workshop invites you beyond familiar patterns, to release self-judgement and discover the freedom of spontaneous expression. You do not need to know how to sing or have any musical experience. There are no wrong notes: every voice is welcome.

The workshop is led by Mikko Heikinpoika, a Finnish musician, vocalist and music educator whose work explores where world music, improvisation, embodiment and human connection meet.
