As a dancer and a dance teacher, I am particularly interested in
the dance possibilities of elderly people and special groups. While
studying in London in the late 1990's, I heard of The
Green Candle Dance Company, who aim to take dance to those for
whom it's hard to go after it themselves. I first performed in a
hospital on my grandmother's ward in the year 2000. Also my final
thesis to the Theatre Academy was about the special features in
teaching dance to elderly people.
In 1998, I got my BA Honours degree
in Contemporary Dance from
The London Contemporary Dance School. In 2002, I got my Master of
Arts degree in Dance Pedagogy from The Theatre Academy of Finland.
I have worked with several foreign and Finnish teachers and choreographers. |
