I work as a choreographer, performer, and artist-researcher, and have an interdisciplinary background and strong concern for socio-political matters. This makes me combine strategies from social research with somatic approaches to make choreography and public art, as seen in my doctoral project Docudancing Griefscapes (2015) from UniArts Helsinki.
Keywords: Choreography, Performative, Representation, Embodiment, Griefscapes.
