I have worked as an artistic director of the New Performance Turku Festival since it was established in 2012. It was an international festival for performance and live art, organized annually around Turku, Finland. The New Performance Turku Festival changed into New Performance Turku Biennale in 2022 and the next biennale will be organised in 2023. I am curating the program together with María Villa Largacha.
Association organizing the New Performance Turku Festival is an active contributor in the discussion promoting performance and live art, both locally and internationally. This is done by developing sustainable production and touring structures and working methods.
