Hi there!

I’m a contemporary choreographer and performer based in Helsinki, Finland. I’m especially intrigued by research/theory-based creative processes and collaborations between sound, music, and movement.

Central to my work is different listening practices, understood as attuning to what is present in myself, others, and our surroundings. I’m currently working on my next solo project, Wind Etudes 2. I’m interested in the wind as a phenomenon because, with it, something invisible becomes visible in the world's materiality, much like emotions, thoughts, and ideals become visible in the body.

I graduated from Uniarts Helsinki in 2016 with an MA in dance (choreography). I’m a founding member of Energpriests, a collective working with the embodiment of energy regarding Ia. gender representation.

Currently, we are facilitating Guided Body Meditations. It is an easy-access concept combining elements of contemporary movement and dance classes, GaGa, and different yoga and meditation traditions. All this is fused to a session after which the participants hopefully feel more in their bodies and are in tune with their feelings.

We are also in the process of creating and giving workshops during the 2024. You’ll find any confirmed dates in my agenda.

Have you been in our events lately? We lust to hear what you thought about it!

Energpriests is a movement laboratory, and it’s a supremely substantial part of what I do and how I do it.

I initiated Energpriests in 2017 with dance artists Krista-Julia Arppo, Anni Koskinen, Meeri Lempiäinen, Salla Rytövuori, Pauliina Sjöberg and Katriina Tavi to be able to share ideas and think collectively about our experiences as women in movement, dance and art.

One of the aims was to create flexible artistic concepts, that can be performed in different contexts and platforms with a variety of 2-7 of us. I wanted to make an effort to make us more independent by finding resilient ways to monetise the immense embodied knowledge we found ourselves with after years of embodied education.

I also wanted to find a way to develop ideas that are not only for a specific performance but for the larger goal of learning together, learning to gather information through the body and learning to share this by creating performative experiences, that are accessible also to people not coming from a dance background.

The whole project is political in the sense that it puts forward embodied experiences of women, which are traditionally not seen as reasonable motivators for rational action or principals guiding social organisation.
