CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

All is a bit much, don´t you think? I'll try to give you some hints.
1) Very social, keeping the conversation going, never mind the subject, ample experience also on monologues.
2) I´d try anything once (exaggeration)
3) I like to explore the "forgotten backyards" of cities, the uglier the better.
4) I love the sea and water in general; harbour cranes are one of my favourite landscapes.
5) A good television is a broken television.
6) Cars are for old people and the ones who know how to operate them.
7) Peering at people in buses and making up life stories for them counts as fun.
8) I have no sense of direction, which helps when travelling.
9) I am bound to become a mad scientist in the near future, beware!
10) And a dance teacher when I find out I couldn´t save the mankind.

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to regret what you've done than what you didn't do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran around a small lake, screaming, with a long wooden stick in my hand, together with hundreds of people from all around the world. Then we sat next to eachother, surrounding the whole lake and made bird sounds while waving our sticks towards some floating dancers in the lake. This happened in a city called Kuopio in eastern Finland, a performance designed for an international dance conference, by the most wacky finnish choreographer. Talk about high culture :D
