Biography

she/her

Meandering and blossoming DANCE ARTIST – PERFORMANCE ARTIST. Working intensively, intimately, and emotionally with embodied imaginative practices, site affairs, experimental video, oil pastel drawing, acrylic painting, and poetic text.

The change power of fantasies and making norms tired are central urges in my work. Thematically I process with love, pleasure, insolence, cuteness, womanhood, lesbo queerness, living entities and fantasy creatures. Ecological responsibility, encouraging equality and accessibility, and mental health sustaining working culture are values that guide my work, the starting point being recognizing my position; the possibilities and responsibilities that come with it.

I graduated as a Bachelor of Dance from Theatre Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki in spring 2023.
