The form of light - workshop with Jarkko Forsman

Exploring the form and other qualities of light in puppetry and visual theatre.

The workshop will be held in English.

Jarkko Forsman is one of Finland’s most prominent lighting designers specializing in puppetry.

He has designed lighting for dozens of trailblazing puppetry performances and has been an essential factor in the development of contemporary Finnish puppetry.

Forsman has also designed lighting for immersive and site specific theatre, operas, dance performances, festivals and exhibitions. He has also worked as set designer, performer, videographer and light artist. In 2021 Forsman won the State Award for Performing Arts as part of the artistic core team of Book of Rooms, a gigantic, immersive multisensory performance made by a group of one hundred artists. His latest work, Kindred machine is nominated for the honorary award of the Finnish Light, Sound, and Video Designers Association for the lighting design.

In his work, Forsman explores the relationship between space and light, the form and mass of light, and other characteristics as part of dramaturgy of performance. Forsman is keen to use light technology as puppets or co-performers.
