Vivarium collective is a dance group founded by three dancers (Elina Hauta-aho, Linda Priha and Anni Rissanen) that graduated together from the Theatre Academy in Helsinki in 2008. The group was founded because of the urge as dancers to be able choose with whom, where and how to work. Vivarium collective is working both collaboratively and by asking interesting choreographers, directors and musicians to work with it. Vivarium has produced three performances until now: El Bimbo (2012, Jojo - Oulun tanssin keskus), Ein Song (2011, Forum Box) and Matka 'Travel' (2010, Gallen-Kallela museum).
