The Hot Box

Dance artists Mirva Mäkinen & Otto Akkanen and cellist Sergio Castrillón bring their mix of improvised dance and music to The Hot Box. Visit on the hot box website: www.thb.fi and you can watch the livestream.

THE HOT BOX is a portable performance and online art space for live streaming broadcasts. The multi-camera broadcasts feature artists from a range of disciplines. The box itself is an intimate, eight cubic meter wooden cube that moves to a new setting selected by the artists themselves for each broadcast.

In its second season, The Hot Box continues its mission to present new and exciting performances by influential Finnish artists. The season includes a fascinating line-up in its 10 broadcasts (September 2019–May 2020).

Stream the broadcasts, free of charge, on your computer, phone or tablet. The live streams are available on our YouTube and Facebook channels. Under Past Broadcasts you can browse and watch previous performances. Follow us on Instagram for a glimpse behind the scenes, to learn more about the artists and crew, and to experience some of the excitement of the broadcast day.

The filming and streaming of each broadcast is led by Sami Kotola and carried out in cooperation with the Media Studies program of Gradia Jyväskylä. Olli Hirvanen and Elina Wuethrich are The Hot Box’s producers and artistic directors.
