Techno and dance clubs and different weekend festivals have been popular. International artists have visited techno clubs and festivals.Gloria's Saturday night clubs are often more cross-art than the programme available elsewhere. Video technology and decorations are also part of the programme. Festivals Festivals based on national themes such as the Japanese Ike Ike and the Russia Tusovka have presented culture in the form of films, photos, art and music. Theatre Gloria hosts theatre performances about once a month. The best days for performances are Sunday-Tuesday. Performances can be offered on two consecutive weeks, for example. Sets should be designed so as not to interfere with club and weekend activities. (Exceptions are also possible.) Theatre activities range from youth theatre surveys to professional performances and include school shows, Stand-up club, Magic Café, performances by students at the Theatre Academy of Finland, children's theatre, musicals, performances by groups at youth centres, circus, juggling festivals and performance art. Dance Dance mainly alternates with theatre. In general performances are only one night, however. Performances have ranged from experimental dance to traditional dance school recitals. Businesses Most private events are arranged by businesses. These events may be aimed at customers or a company's own staff. Fashion shows and galas are also popular private occasions.
