Kaatuva Hevonen Kyljellään Hyönteinen is the artist project of Helsinki-based dance maker Hanna Heino, who trained at Outokumpu's dance programme and also studied dance and somatics at the East Finland Sports Institute (ISLO). Her work draws on improvisation as its primary instrument, shaped by flamenco, contact improvisation and various somatic methods, with a focus on organic movement and the body's memory. Alongside her own artistic practice she is a member of the Toisissa Tiloissa performance art collective and works as a professional dance instructor at the special vocational school Live.
The Heino & Kukkonen duo focused on developing performance structures and score sketches during the 2024-25 period.
Heino began a solo work process titled BODDHIDHARMAITREIA in collaboration with philosopher Ilmari Kortelainen, exploring themes of silence, sign language and working-class intergenerational embodiment.
Heino participated in the Toisissa Tiloissa collective's 20th anniversary year, which included exhibitions, demonstrations and events across Helsinki.
Heino was part of the Toisissa Tiloissa working group for the Humanoid Space exhibition at Kriittinen Galleria, opening August 2025.
