Production Kantola & Seppänen Company
Founded in 2015 by Katriina Kantola (MA in dance) and Antti Seppänen (BA in dance), the Kantola & Seppälä Company focuses on contemporary dance and physical theatre. Sound has been a major element in all of their productions. So far the company has performed mainly in the Pirkanmaa region in Finland, but their tours in Germany have furthered an interest in expanding their operation abroad.
Anniina Kumpuniemi has been working as a dancer-choreographer at Dance Theatre MD since 1997. Lovekicks is her second duet made for Kantola & Seppänen in collaboration with Teemu Kiiskilä.
Teemu Kiiskilä is a musician and sound designer residing in Tampere. He is a member of groups such as UTU, Minä ja Nieminen and Dark Bottle.
