You
have to experience Colourscape to fully understand it. Colourscape cannot be
simply explained and photographs will only provide a glimpse of the adventure.
Colourscape will sharpen your senses, awaken creativity and expand the way you
experience colour. Colour has energy that can be seen and felt and so
Colourscape will be like swimming in colours.
Colourscape will be made up of approximately one hundred colourful sphere-like chambers linked together into a giant labyrinth. The audience will be able to walk through and spend time in the chambers listening to music performances or just being there. Colourscape is like a giant network of cells or interconnected chambers that bend the colours of light into an intensive celebration – truly a kaleidoscope of colours. You will only discover your absolute favourite colour after you visit Colourscape.
Eye Music Trust from the UK will return with Colourscape to Finland again this summer. The group specialises in producing audiovisual experiences. Colourscape and the group’s other outdoor performances present music and art in new and interesting ways. In addition to the colour-saturated experience, the group will bring workshops and small scale concerts by Finnish and international performers to the Kupittaa Park. Workshops, participation fee is included at the ticket price, at Tuesday and Wednesday 12 am - 2 pm. The number of participants is limited.

Colourscape
is so popular that waiting is necessary, please take time to wait.
The programme of Colourscape Turku announced - Wide variety of local music and amazing colours!
After
the amazing success of the first-ever appearance of Colourscape in a Nordic
country during Turku’s European Capital of Culture year 2011 this unique
experience returns to Kupittaa Park in Turku July 17th – August 5th. The programme of the
colour labyrinth is again diverse and presents especially local music this
year.
Colourscape
is made up of approximately one hundred highly-coloured sphere-like chambers
linked together into a giant labyrinth. Colourscape is like a giant network of
cells that bends the spectrum of light into an intensive celebration of
colours. The public put on a coloured cape and enter into a new world of
sound and colour where amazing views of radiating colour open up in every
direction - like being actually inside a rainbow or stained glass window.
Live
concerts are organized in Colourscape from Wednesday to Sunday and workshops
combining colour, light and music on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The music
programme has been designed in co-operation with local partners, for instance Turku
Modern and
Ilmiö Festivals and
The X-Rust Organization.
Also
the hugely popular colour immersion workshops for the babies return to Kupittaa
Park. In these workshops also the smallest members of the family have the
opportunity to enjoy with their parents the beautiful colours of Colourscape.
The
audience can experience for instance The X-Rust Organization’s synth jamming
sessions (August 1st), special needs children’s
performance of their music created with computers with the help of musician David
Stevens (July
25th), atmospherical choir
performance by noted Slavonic Tractor (July 18th) and flashbacks from Turku Modern festival.
Last
year the response of the public in Finland enthusiastic with over 15 000
visitors to Colourscape. Eye Music Trust from the UK brings Colourscape to
Finland for the second time in co-operation with Bryggman Institute. The group
specializes in producing audiovisual experiences. The event is a continuation
of the 2011 European Capital of Culture year in Turku.
If
you missed Colourscape last year - or if you want more of the amazing colour,
light and music - then come to Kupittaa Park this July. Come early to
avoid the queues!

Slavonic Tractor (www.slavonictractor.net) is a folk music
influenced choir from Turku, Finland. Formed in 2004, the choir sings music
from Finnish and their related peoples. The initial inspiration for the choir,
however, was the unrefined but beautiful sound of traditional Bulgarian female
choirs and the unconventional tonalities of the Bulgarian folk song inspired
choir pieces. In 2007, Slavonic Tractor visited Bulgaria and performed at a
festival organized by the legendary ensemble Bisserov Sisters. The choir has
also participated in several choir competitions, winning first prize in
Coleraine, Northern Ireland in 2006 and Pärnu, Estonia in 2008. Most recently,
Slavonic Tractor was awarded three gold stamps at Tampere Vocal Music Festival
in Tampere, Finland.

*Workshops
in Colourscape
In
colour and music workshops the true meaning of colour and music can be studied,
Mongolian Overtone Singing can be learned and the links between sound and
music, art and science – and the power of vibrations can be discovered.
In
colour immersion workshops intended for families with small babies, colours are studied
and encountered as a multisensory experience. What does a colour feel like, how
does it sound or taste? Getting to know colours and visual frolicking takes
place in a peaceful and encouraging environment, at the baby's own pace, and
the whole family participates in observing the colour. Most important in the
colour immersion workshop is experiencing, marvelling and finding what is new.
The materials used are everyday day objects, for example, pillows, cardboard
boxes, fabrics, and balloons. In the Colourscape colour immersion workshops,
the idea is to focus on experiencing the colours of the space and strengthen
the experience with different solid materials; usually, there is also painting
in the workshops, using berries and fools as colours.
Colourscape
colour immersion workshops are for children aged 3-11 months and 1-2 year-olds.
It is important that the baby can support his/her own head. A colour immersion
workshop is based on the colour immersion method developed by Päivi Setälä, Director of the Network
of Children´s Culture in Satakunta, Pori Centre for Children´s Culture. For
more information on the colour immersion method and colour immersion.
