Carolyn Carlson and Tero Saarinen have collaborated since the 1990s when Carlson created works for the Finnish National Ballet and Helsinki City Theatre. Their partnership deepened with the solo pieces Travelling (1998) and Man in a Room (2000). In 2008, Carlson passed her iconic Blue Lady [Revisited] to Saarinen, which was performed accross Europe and Asia. Room 7 pays homage to the long and fruitful collaboration between the two artists.
Room 7 was seen at Dance House Helsinki as a part of TSC's anniversary Triple Bill evening, celebrating trailblazing choreographers from three generations. The evening also featured Tero Saarinen’s new choreography Garden and Sonya Lindfors', Wild Is the Wind.
