Received: Creative and Joyful Xmas Card


The Regional Dance Centre of Western Finland delivered us a great Seasonal Greetings in form of a dance show telling a story of a Christmas tree thief. A different, sustainable and hilarious card which created many happy faces, laughter and stormy applauses. The best was that we could send the joy further in the city with providing them the next place to visit. What a great idea!

Live team expresses its thanks to the Regional Dance Center: Sometimes digital experience cannot just reach the effect of the physical participation!
