“For This Dance I will Take the Lead” is a participatory performance conceptualised by the artist Tellervo Kalleinen in cooperation with the choreographer Tsolak Mlke-Galstyan. The project took place in the Living Room in January 2025 and involved a small group of young Armenians who share the life experience of being too often led by other people or being subjected to external circumstances. The participants prepared a dance evening during which they themselves were in charge: Each participant took the lead for the length of one song, while the audience’s role was simply to follow.
