Since 1997, Tampere city’s one and only professional dance theatre represents the cutting edge of contemporary dance. The Hällä Stage is home to a continuous spectrum of dance pieces that light up, move and inspire audiences of all ages from generation to generation while reflecting our core values – collaboration, co-creation and inclusiveness.
MD keeps on providing contemporary dance for all ages, grounded in movement, blooming with emotion – putting smiles on people’s faces and bringing tears to their eyes.
During our first quarter century, MD has provided audiences with a total of 107 productions including 84 originals, 23 collaborations with theatre and opera companies and other artists, 18 family-friendly shows and two performances for young adults.
In addition, MD provides tailored workshops and special bookings for groups, such as body maintenance dance courses for workplaces, pre-show tune-ups and intro discussions, technical tours of Hällä for students, and much more.
MD productions can be tailored to fit various venues and occasions from grand stages to kindergartens, face-to-face encounters, corporate events and street shows. You can also book a select slice from a show for your event, be it a seminar, a private party or a festival. You name it, MD brings it!
Enjoy the diverse lineup of shows, and expand your knowledge with behind-the-scenes tours, audience discussions, workshops and meet-and-greets. MD is committed to keeping The Hällä Stage a safe space for everybody, and the organisation wishes that the audiences do the same.
Located in downtown Tampere, the Hällä venue is easily accessible by tram, bus or train, and on foot.
