For me, dancing is a way to see the world.
It is about sharing, communicating, viewing things from an unconventional perspective. I'm not too keen on putting life into boxes. Ultimately, dance, theatre, visual and performing arts all come down to one thing: to find a form for an idea and to produce an experience.

Travelling has on me the same effect as dancing; it is a chance to switch roles, try out, let's say, what it's like to be Japanese for a while… I've spent longer periods of time in Australia, Utah and New York, and in the spring 2004 I worked in Kyoto, Japan, for several months.

I got my Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance from The Theatre Academy of Finland in the spring 2002. Before my professional training and degree I studied and performed in the Oulu Dance Studio.
