I'm a professional performer and dance maker based in Helsinki and Berlin.
I am moved by the multitudes of poeticisms in dance, forever emotional, self-expressing and musical bodies of all kinds. I love the magnetic, thick focus that lands in the space when we witness a performance happen. My educational background consists of Masters and Bachelor's degrees in contemporary dance, University of Arts, Theatre Academy, Helsinki. Part of my Master's degree was conducted at SODA-program (HZT, Berlin). After my MA studies I did a 2-year long music theatre specialisation track (University of Arts, Helsinki) that focused on music theatre singing and Estill voice training with the very best teachers. I have also studied classical piano and music theory in Turku Conservatory. I work widely in different fields of performance art as a performer, choreographer and a facilitator: contemporary dance and performance, music theatre, dance film and community arts. I have years of experience facilitating and teaching dance classes for people on the Autism spectrum with Liisa Pentti. This enocouraged me to start studying neurodivergent coaching and occupational therapy as an addition to my artistic work. I am part of the queer and sex-positive communities in Helsinki and Berlin. I have experience in being part of groups that aim to build safer spaces and who work with sexpositive and intimate practices on stage. I am always excited to form new connections with other curious and passionate creators. |
