Upposimme nietokseen matkalla kouluun.

Meillä oli joskus alakoulussa välitunneilla tapana olla hippaa mutta sitä ei saanut kutsua hipaksi kun se oli se-peli nimeltään.

Some Finnish winter aesthetic words :)
viima = a cold wind
hanki = a thick layer of snow, which has naturally formed from the falling snow.
takkatuli = a fire in the fireplace. I warm my hands takkatulen edessä.
hankikeli = when a person can walk on hanki without sinking into the snow. Typically the weather needs to be under 0 degrees of celsius. Kun on hankikeli, it is worth going on a walk on the fields.
suojakeli/suojasää = the weather, when you can make snow balls. Suojakelillä children make snowmen everywhere.
lumikinos = A thick layer of snow. The snow might have naturally gathered more in certain areas, or it might have been pushed into kinos by a plow. Tällä säällä lumikinoksia on kaikkialla.
puuterilumi = powder snow
loska = icy and watery slush. Running on loska covered road is awful.
räntä = sleet, watery and icy rain. Ränta sade is not my favourite type of rain. Don’t tell me that taas sataa räntää. There is an idiom: sataa räntää vaakatasossa, which means a horizontal räntä rain, this means that things are shitty and annoying.
huurre = frost. When the moisture in the air has condensed into a colder surface.
hengitys huuruaa = when you breath out on a cold day, and you see the air going white.
menee huuruun = your car windows can go huuruun, when you turn the AC too high too soon and you can’t see through the windows, because they start to turn white. You should never drive huurteisilla laseilla.
pakkanen = when the temperature is sub zero degrees of celsius.
kirpeä pakkaspäivä = A face burningly cold day. The kirpeä part is not a necessary word, but some people add it, when it is so cold that your face and fingers hurt while being outside.
pöllytä = when moving air lifts particles. In an old barn you should never pöllyttää dust covered things, because you might breath in harmful microbes.
‘’Pakkasella auton ikkunat menevät huuruun. Suojasäällä loskaa on kaikkialla ja hanki sulaa. Hankikelillä lumikinokset kestävät ja viima pöllyttää puuterilunta.’’

Tero Saarinen Company: MORPHED trailer (2014) from Tero Saarinen Company on Vimeo.
”A severe ritual of powerful but clearly and distinctly hewn forms of dance --- harmony and integrity”
Nezavisimaja Gazeta, Natalia Zvenigorodskaya, 12 October, 2015 (Russia)
“The dance movements blend into Esa-Pekka Salonen’s music, which evokes the harshness of the cold, wide-open continent and also its evocative beauty. --- Vigorous and ground-breaking, and yet timelessly unforced.”
Komei, Hiromi Harada, 10 July, 2015 (Japan)
“Intimate dialogue between music and movement --- An excellent piece that reveals the men’s exuberant beauty and awakens poetic images.”
Yoimiuri, Akiko Tachiki, 7 July, 2015 (Japan)
“Morphed is a complete work of art, and irresistible. Salonen’s powerfully emotionally music, the skilful dancers, and Mikki Kunttu’s understated visual elements create a sense of richness and fullness that surges vibrantly, like poetry flowing out of the unconscious.”
Teatteri & Tanssi, Raisa Rauhamaa, 6/2014 (Finland)
Recording: August 15, 2014. Thomas Freundlich / Lumikinos
Morphed, a choreography for eight men, to music by Esa-Pekka Salonen originally premiered in 2014 at Helsinki Festival in collaboration with Finnish National Opera. It has since become part of Tero Saarinen Company's repertoire.
