Tero Saarinen Company
Profile
Tero Saarinen Company creates, performs, and teaches distinctive and timeless contemporary dance in Helsinki, Finland, and internationally. At TSC's core is to enhance individual and collective well-being by deepening the connection between body, self, and others through powerful movement and holistic dance experiences.
Dancer-choreographer Tero Saarinen founded the company in 1996 as a platform for his artistic vision. Since then, Tero Saarinen Company has performed on leading stages in over 40 countries across all continents. Alongside Saarinen’s own creations, TSC's repertoire also includes works by guest choreographers. In Helsinki, TSC is one of the program partners of Dance House Helsinki, presenting its own seasons and curating guest performances by international companies.
Tero Saarinen Company is renowned for its visually striking works that fuse expressive movement, live music, and bold stagecraft into immersive total artworks. TSC's distinctive movement language is rooted in Tero Technique – developed by Saarinen – which blends influences from Western and Asian dance traditions and from classical and contemporary influences. In addition to its touring activities, TSC also teaches Tero Technique internationally and supports emerging dance artists by offering studio and sound residencies at TSC Studio in Helsinki’s Cable Factory.
