I'm a writer and dramaturg working in the fields of performative arts and literature. At the moment, I'm working on my first short story collection.
As a dramaturg I support artists and makers in their creative process and help them find, verbalize and manifest what is essential in their work. I strive for direct and well-timed feedback.
I work as the house dramaturg of Ehkä-production in Turku, Finland. Ehkä specializes in contemporary dance and performance. As a house dramaturg, I participate in the artistic processes of the co-productions and provide dramaturgical support to the makers.
My work as a dramaturg often deals with questions of audience contact and collaboration. How do we come together and what can happen when we do? Since 2018 I've worked with performance artist Teo Ala-Ruona. We work with speculative fiction in the field of performance art. Our latest works include Industry Muscle (Venice Architecture Biennial / AD Museo 2025), Parachorale (Baltic Circle 2024), Anabolic Spectacle (Chart Art Fair 2024), Enter Exude (Kiasma-teatteri 2023) and Deep Time Trans (Baltic Circle 2021).
I read, edit and give feedback on essays, fiction, plays and poetry. In 2021-2024 I worked as a critic in Nuori Voima literary service.
I also host writing and dramaturgy workshops, often combining body based methods and writing. I have taught and hosted workshops at Uniarts, Taidekoulu Maa, Tehdas Teatteri, Demos Helsinki, Mielenterveysyhdistys HELMI ry and Danish National School Of Performing Arts Further Education.
