Acting CV
​
Here I've listed my studies within acting and some of the most remarkable roles I've played in recent years.
The roles that I've gotten to play so far have varied from each other a lot and I'm happy that I've been able to explore and learn already so much about my own dimensions and layers as an actor and an artist.

Työväen Akatemia: one year acting studies, full time
One year acting studies included courses in improv, Suzuki-method, physical acting, basics of acting, singing, screenwriting, directing, clownery, vocal acting, history and contemporary dance. We also had a monologue course in English where we prepared and performed monologues taking place in Ancient Greece. At the end of the studies we performed the beloved classic theatre play Pride & Prejudice where I played double role as Jane Bennet and Mrs. Gardiner.
