Dalija Acin Thelander has staged her performance for babies, SENSESCAPES with Chinese dancers. Premiere was in Xi'an on 13 Dec 2017 and performance will remain and be performed in China. The performance is produced by Xi'an Quijang Merition Development Company for Children's Theatre, China. SENSESCAPES proposes a choreographed, interactive and multi-sensory experience to babies 3-18 months old and their care-takers. It is conceived as an installation based environment, designed to challenge usual conceptions of aesthetics for babies, aiming to induce interplay of the audience's physical movement and sensory input. SENSESCAPES unfolds a series of carefully composed, interconnected events which aim to involve its audience, trigger their curiosity and encourage their agency in landscape rich in stimuli.

In October 2017, Tero Saarinen Company's MORPHED was performed a total of ten times to almost 6000 audience members in the USA and Canada during the group's longest North American tour to date. The shows in New York, Williamstown, Vancouver and Ottawa received acclaim from both audiences and critics. The creation was reviewed as "striking", "mesmerizing" and "captivating". On 18–20 Jan 2018, MORPHED will be seen at Théâtre National de Chaillot, Paris, as a part of Festival nordique.
