Last 4 years I was in Finland studying Osteopathy and right now I am living in Leipzig.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I have studied social work, concentrating on youth work and got my first university degree from it, but quite soon after I was drawn to contemporary dance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary dance is a large term and can consist a lot of different approaches. Doing movements that some one (wether it be teacher or choreographer) is showing me, never interested me much, but luckily I met (I didn&#8217;t find it since I didn&#8217;t search for it) a school that taught improvisation and somatics, where it is as important to sense what am I doing, as to how does it look like. Actually, I would say that the sensory comes before visual, the sensory is creating the visuality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I was specially interested in by contact improvisation, which started as an art form and has now become more of a social dance form. I think my main interest in it is the extended possibilities of larger physical structure than just myself. How to work with other structures (I could use word &#8220;bodies&#8221; as well) and how to do it with listening and preciseness, that is still one of my main interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the years of studying dance and dancing bodywork was integral part of the study and was and is a big part of the work that I&#8217;m doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>About 10 years ago I met thai yoga massage and I like the practical approach of it and how it resonates well with my work on dance: working with effiency and weight, using the physical forces of earth and gravity, not so much muscles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been working ever since with dancing, teaching dance, doing bodyworks and massages. I also organise workshops and I&#8217;m part of group organising festival of contact improvisation in Finland.<\/p>\n<p>I am heavily interested in coffee and tea. If you care to have a tea session with me (connected to the body work), just let me know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m born Finnish, but a lot of my life I have been travelling and living in different places.
