TOMI PAASONENChoreographer, director and multimedia artist, based in Berlin and born in Helsinki, Finland. He shares his time making pieces for KUNST-STOFF, a multimedia dance- and art production company he co-founded in San Francisco in 1998 and directing stage art, creating choreographic structures, making video installations, interactive works, photography and teaching dance in Europe where he operates under the name PAA (Public Artistic Affairs).What makes Tomi Paasonen a rare hybrid in the dance world is his in-depth involvement and knowledge in both classical and contemporary realms of dance techniques, bridging avant-guard experimentalism, staged documentary, device methods, individual expression and conceptual thinking with technical awareness. For years he has developed his interactive visual art concepts and choreographic improvisation methods that can be used universally by dancers from different kinds of backgrounds.
