Artistic activities

I am a theatre director, performance artist and teacher, living in a countryside anarchy near Tammisaari. I studied in the same Academy where I am working nowadays (MA 2002). Beside the academic duties I work as a freelance-artist, directing, performing and collaborating. 

In my art work the political, spiritual and meditative qualities are present and investigated through the bodies we are. The relationship between audience-stage/performance- performers is somehow questioned. Self-organization is always supported and welcome. My way of doing performances includes techniques from live-art, somatics, conceptual art, and relates to the contemporary discourses around posthumanism and ecologies. My passion for yoga, contact improvisation and alternative therapies can also be seen in my works and collaborations.
 

I have directed, collaborated and/or performed over 40 performances after year 1995.
